Clean room. Lovely resort to walk around and nicely lit paths to walk around resort at night. Nice free breakfast menu ( the French Toast was delicious). Good access to beach. Would be better if lighting in the room was brighter.

I love Costa Rica. It’s so full of life and adventure. The excursions are amazing and worth every penny, The people of the country are unbelievably friendly and they truly make you feel at home.

For dining. Be more specific what “casual” is. My husband has a handicap and we got up to the restaurants to find out that nice shorts with a collared shirt is not appropriate attire. After we learned that numerous other people complained also

4/5 - Good

Be sure to take a tour of the rainforest. We scheduled with Swiss Tours and Ronald took care of our every need and is a true Costa Rican Ambassador.
