I celebrated Mother’s Day in Costa Rica with family and friends, the place it’s beautiful. We had a few situations but Lia acted quickly to resolve the issue. The microwaves in the casitas are very small so it was difficult to heat up meals. The BBQ area has no microwave, the refrigerator should be bigger, it’s not equipped enough for a big group. We had to take stuff from the casitas to be able to manage. Also it need more cleaning during the stay. But after all it was a good stay.

This is was as perfect as accommodations could be for our group. We booked this for a 8 day stay for 21 family members to celebrate an anniversary. The rooms are stylishly and well appointed and the design of 6 casitas suited our group—enabling us to get together at the pool and common eating area while providing some individual space when desired. The beach and restaurants are walkable including some next door. We went to heurotos twice for pizza. A special and unexpected treat was the howler monkeys which could be seen in town and on a couple of occasions were in trees right adjacent to the property. The host and concierge were responsive and provided anything we needed. Would recommend to anyone with a group of 12+ people. Loved this place!

It was a great spot to celebrate myself and my sister-in-law for 40ths birthdays! Very clean, easy to navigate instructions, and extra help from the host when we needed to seek medical care for an unforeseen event. Would stay here again!

Perfect place to celebrate my birthday with 10 girlfriends! Loved it! There are restaurants less than a block away and the beach was 12 minutes away. The host was very helpful and arranged multiple excursions for the group. I had a wonderful birthday and I’m so happy I chose to stay at this location.

Absolutely perfect in every way. Hosts were really responsive, friendly, and cared about making our stay comfortable. It is not easy catering to a group but they did wonderfully. Property itself is clean, new, beautiful. Pool was fabulous. Each casita had all the amenities needed to cook or make small meals. The large outdoor kitchen and dining area was wonderful when we wanted to cook and gather as a group. Very secure, comfortable and worth every penny. We will be back and we wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone looking for a group.

This place was perfect for our group offering private space as well as a great group gathering area. The well equipped outdoor kitchen allowed us to come together in the morning to plan our days and to prepare group meals. This space was also nice to hang out during the quick downpour of much needed rain. The coffee in each casita upon arrival was a nice welcoming touch. The pool, exercise studio and the game room were enjoyed by our group throughout the week. The flowers were just beginning to bloom around the grounds (we were here during the first rain in 4 months) I can imagine that all the flowering plans will be beautiful with more moisture! Javier was in and out to care for the pool and grounds during the very early morning. He did so without any disruptions, he was friendly and respectful, he even introduced us to his family! This is a great place to stay if you are looking for a place just a couple of minutes from the beach. The sunsets in this area are spectacular!

We had a really great time staying here with my husbands family. Each family had their own house(s) to retreat to which is great with young kids. Great facility overall. Fantastic for large groups.
