    ocean view
    dining options

    The sunsets and views were stunning, but the

    food could use improvement. We loved the hammock on the porch and the ocean view. The staff was attentive, and the swimming pool was enjoyable, but the dining options were limited in variety.

    peaceful

    This hotel is just a suitable option for a swift stopover in Playa Azul with good value. The sunset views from the terrace were amazing. Bring extra food supplies as the breakfast options are limited.

    beautiful beach
    friendly staff
    yoga sessions
    limited dining options

    We had a lovely time soaking in the serene surroundings with daily yoga sessions that helped us connect with nature. The beach offered fine sunsets and the private vibe. The staff was always friendly and attentive to our needs.

    In my wife’s opinion, it would have been nice to have a wider variety of dining options available throughout the day.

    gorgeous beach
    exceptional meals
    dated pool area
    limited music variety
    food variety improvement

    The beach offers stunning ocean views, and the secluded atmosphere makes it feel exclusive, despite being fully booked. Meals were consistently exceptional, especially the Colombian coffee and the memorable beach barbecue. However, the pool area could use some updates, and I think incorporating more local Latin music would enhance the vibe. Additionally, with improvements in food variety, the dining experience could reach even greater heights.

    Can't recommend highly enough for a weekend respite

    Beautiful room, stunning view, with a spacious terrace where we watched the sunset while enjoying a drink and a convenient beach access that made our stay exceptionally relaxing.

    Couldn't have been better.

    peaceful oasis
    limited menu
    expensive dining

    The beautiful garden terrace, adorned with colorful blooms, was a delightful oasis that offered serenity and easy accessibility, making it perfect for a peaceful stroll or a quiet moment to enjoy nature.

    Improved food variety would enhance overall dining experience.

    delicious food
    friendly staff

    The food here is really special. I was blown away by the beach BBQ they organized one night,, It was a great experience seeing everyone come together for a meal under the stars.

    It wasn't exactly pocket change, but honestly, it felt worth it.

    cool pool
    delicious ceviche

    great parks and beautiful beaches are within a short drive

    I loved that I could enjoy the cool pool and delicious ceviche while hearing the ocean waves crash nearby, making for a relaxing atmosphere that I truly cherished during my stay. Plus, this place is just a quick drive to beautiful Playa San Juanillo for more stunning beach time and nearby towns like Nosara for even more local exploration.

    I had a wonderful stay with incredibly delicious food and attentive service. The outdoor shower was a standout, and I loved the magical beach where I could walk for miles without seeing anyone.

    stunning view
    spacious room
    cozy bed
    maintenance issues
    decor refresh

    The Junior Suite with Ocean View was really nice! The view was stunning, and the room was spacious and comfy. We loved the beautiful decor, and the amenities were top-notch. The bed was super cozy, and we felt relaxed throughout our stay. Only minor things like a few maintenance issues, but nothing too bothersome. Overall, a great spot to unwind!
