8/10 Very Good! (1,497 reviews)
Much to love, with some exceptions. The hotel and grounds are very beautiful and very well maintained, with gorgeous views of the ocean, surrounding mountains, and lush foliage. The room was lovely and very clean. One of the best aspects of this resort is the staff! They were consistently warm, friendly, and eager to accommodate any request! It's easy to feel very spoiled by their attentive and engaging presence! Thank you Monica for creating this culture among your wait staff!! You're wonderful! When the main buffet restaurant opens its doors for dinner, the staff are lined up on two sides and applaud the guests as they enter!! Loved it! The food in the main restaurant was extremely diverse, plentiful, and mostly delicious. We did not enjoy the one specialty restaurant we tried - Japanese. We had great massages, enjoyed some shopping, both in the hotel stores and the beach market. Would have enjoyed more entertainment options. There was a fantastic violinist and sax player though, which we enjoyed. While we loved the pools, the beach has dark sand and is not inviting. The waterpark is cute for kids, but limited for adults. We did one waterslide which was quite an unpleasant experience - very hot and claustrophobic inside. I would give this hotel a 4.5 rating if I could. We had a great time, despite the few exceptions mentioned.

Our family just spent a week at the Suitree, which our daughter selected as our base in Costa Rica. We are so glad she did. Staying in such a unique, beautiful property added an additional level of enjoyment to the trip. The property is impeccable. Absolutely stunning and impeccably clean. The attention to detail was outstanding. The treehouses are gorgeous and interesting. Ours also featured a hot tub, which was a lovely place to hang out after dinner. We had selected the full board option, which turned out to be a good choice because the location is very remote. It would be difficult to leave the property for meals. We had to miss some meals while we were out on excursions, and were always sorry to do so, because the food was SO GOOD (although we wished there were more vegan options on the menu). We did not have a car, but had booked excursions with a service who picked us up from the hotel, and we booked two excursions through the hotel, so transportation was included in the price. Drivers from the hotel picked us up and brought us back to the airport. You will not find more attentive, kinder staff anywhere. They were always ready to help and eager to make sure our stay was wonderful. The Suitree is in a very remote location and you have to travel a minimum of 1/2 hour on difficult roads to get pretty much anywhere. This added to the charm and returning to our treehouse after a long day of activities was always such a pleasure. Pura Vida <3

Excellent stay, different mindset, of a luxury guesthouse with residences vs a typical international-standard hotel. Once inside your residence apartment, you will find a generous combination of materials, marble, natural wood fortitude, luxury ceramics, and fully equipped kitchen off of a decor magazine. The hotel pool bar is the only hang out area, where you get everything from your breakfast to afternoon drinks (no other meals offered).
