10/10 Excellent
"Very clean and modern facility. Excellent staff. Sandra seemed to appear almost instantly anytime we needed anything. The only complaint was the road to get to the property. It is unpaved and if you enter from one end it is deeply rutted, and washed away. The other end of the street was much less difficult to navigate, but still had a very large pothole. I doubt this is something that can or will be fixed anytime soon. It is what you learn to expect in Costa Rica. Bottom line, we would most certainly stay there again."

"SOLO TRAVELER REVIEW OMG where do I even begin. this place is indeed as wonderful as it looks and as amazing as the other reviews state it is. the staff all knew me by name literally within the first day. this hotel has an energy that allows your nervous system to completely relax. the aesthetics, the lighting, the music. as a solo traveler without a vehicle, the shuttle was perfect, it leaves from the hotel every hour on the hour from 8am-6pm and it has I think 5 stops around guiones and playa pelada. I also walked a lot which was fine and took lots of tuk tuks! (local "taxis"). The daily yoga classes were so lovely and grounding, and wonderful for all levels, even beginners. The daily breakfast was great, lots of options, and the included OJ was 10/10. Overall this hotel exceeded all my expectations and thank you to all the staff! Only thing I could say is that I wish the staff had name tags because they all remembered my name but I could not remember all theirs : )"
