We chose Hotel Punta Islita, Autograph Collection for our stay in Costa Rica. While we travel quite a bit, we had not been to CR. I was somewhat dubious from the online pictures, but left reluctantly and wanting to return. Our stay found me remembering the early Hawaii and other such special locations. Life at the hotel was easy, quiet, friendly, accommodating, and fondly memorable. We want to go back. Our room was spacious, well-decorated and very clean, and we had flowers arranged throughout the suite every evening. Besides the room, we had a small yard and patio with a very private, tiled hot tub over-looking the scenic resort, hotel beach club, and the ocean. The hotel staff is always wanting to please, and always at your service without being noticeable. Upon arrival, I was brought a refreshing tropical drink to cool me down. It is easy to understand how the entire property is known as "the Autograph Collection".
