The path to the rooms is not paved causing damage to luggage wheels. There are no other restaurants nearby for lunch or dinner. Very limited items for breakfast. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful.

Beautiful hotel minutes from Monteverde biological preserve. The hot tubs were out of service the day we were there which was a disappointment because it was cold and rainy. But we passed our time at the bar instead and David behind the bar was great!
The property is beautiful and well kept with a nice walking trail that circles the perimeter.
Staff was friendly and accommodating.
Pool was fabulous and a nice break after touring all day.
