The property is 9km out of La Fortuna, but it's only 3 or 4 minute's drive from many of the hot springs and about 10 minutes from the restaurant hub in La Fortuna. The staff were very friendly (I've yet to meet a Costa Rican who wasn't) and I would recommend staying here to anyone."

"Great resort! We stayed for 7 nights with the all-inclusive package. The food and drinks were incredible, and ALL staff were lovely and a pleasure to see every day. There was confusion with the all-inclusive package vs. the premium all-inclusive package, that was mis conveyed upon booking. Overall we were very pleased with our booking and stay, but would encourage to check the details of your booking prior to. It gets BRIGHT early in the day, and our room did not have any blackout curtains....
