The welcome drinks were delicious, the room was absolutely gorgeous with plenty of room for the four of us. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and the fresh fruit was so sweet. The pool was nice and the night walk was awesome. We saw several frogs, lizard and a snake. If I came back to Costa Rica I would definitely stay here again. 10/10
