This hotel is overpriced for the place, not much things to do in the hotel, and staff is not friendly. For this price there are a lot better options in Costa Rica

Now for the facts: you made a reservation for three people, but showed up with four and became angry when I told you that we would have to charge for the extra person (something that all hotels do), and asked me what exactly the extra charge was for. I explained that the 25 goes towards breakfast, electricity, water, laundry, etc. You then wanted a third bed in the room, which is something we do not offer, but we agreed that you could put your own blow up mattress in the room as long as it fit. Perhaps you weren't pleased with the answers, but at no time were we unkind in any way.

It is a great place to relax since it's adults only and there aren't many villas. What we were most dissapointed was by the restaurant. Breakfast was acceptable but our experience with dinner was not good, the food was greasy, portions were small and the price was too high. I would definitely encourage people to eat out in many great restaurants in Dominical and Uvita. We had to eat at the hotel because of Covid restrictions. To top it off, we ordered a creme brulee and it was easily the worst one I have ever tried, and I have a sweet tooth and eat just about everything.
