Great place to stay

Beautiful setting and spectacular view from our room. The pool is beautiful! The beach is nice, but access to the water is a bit challenging. The service in the restaurant is a bit slow, but not a huge deal, considering the view. All of the food was excellent, as were the cocktails

Legendary views!

It is one of the most beautiful and romantic spots in Costa Rica. The stunning views are legendary. But there is a lot of stairs and incline, so be prepared. But don’t miss this beautiful place.

The quality of the service has dramatically decrease. The staff at the receptions are not locals and their knowledge of the hospitality world is null, this was the worst check in and check out process. Not long ago, this was one of the best boutique hotels in Puntarenas. The place is beautiful, the staff seems they don’t care their job. The restaurant is expensive and they are not willing to make small changes in the menu even if the price is 4x what you will pay on average in any other place. Enjoy the view, don’t expect a good treatment from their staff.

This is one of Costa Rica’s original luxury hotels and a member of the Small, Distinctive Hotels family. Like a castle perched high on a mountain top overlooking Herradura and Javi - Sunsets and dining here are some of the best in Costa Rica. Come here for the views and history, and dining!
