What a place, where to begin. Newly built, very safe, extremely clean with a modern, spacious feel. This place has all the amenities of an upscale home. The view of the National park was totally unobstructed from any place on the property, it was off the main road so quite also.
The Hospitality was over the top, the owner had a menu to each restaurant in town, gave his (chef) recommendations for the best places to eat, which we promptly took after finding out he's lived here for 20+ years. He had a list of all the local tours and approximate costs. Offered to take us to get groceries on the first day, even cooked us the best Tuna dinner i've had yet and we didn't even ask him too. He speaks good english/spanish/french and italian so communication was never a problem.
The Room were very spacious (usually a king size) with A/C and fans in almost every room. The doors and window full opened to allow the ocean breezes to cool the place down, locks and alarms on all the windows and doors for ultra security. The huge veranda was where we spend most of the time enjoying the view, being visited by local Monkeys nearly each day. Satellite TV, although i don't understand Family Guy in Spanish, there was some english speaking channels. Daily room service and fresh towels. The full size kitchen was upscale with a full fridge, cutlery, plates, glasses, etc. Gas Stove, micro-wave.
We are not backpackers and not all-inclusive resort people but budget minded and willing to spend the extra for a few days of comfort in some cases. We were very surprised to find that upon arrival we were upgraded to this massive place after a small cross-booking, that was really no problem for us.
The proximity to the beach was excellent, it was a vigorous 15 minute walk down the typical tico side road to a very personal beach, only 15 minutes down the beach was the more crowed part near the national park. If you have a 4x4 i would recommend using to drive down right on the beach. It was also walking distance to most restaurants and shops, a short 5 minute drive would get you right to the park entrance.
In all, i've been to a couple all-inclusive places that pale in comparison to this place. I've been to a fair share of hotels in North America that wouldn't be as good either. I would recommend this place to large families, couples looking for alternatives to hotels and super clubs. People that want a clean safe place to stay.
The cost was extremely good, hard to beat
