Pablo at the front desk was very helpful. I also communicated with a lady through message and she was helpful. The issue was MAINLY, my husband is in a wheelchair and this property had insanely steep hills! EXTREMELY DANGEROUS for someone in a wheelchair! I wish that they would have forewarned us or put us in a room that was wheelchair friendly. Our room was about a quarter of the way down. The furniture was old with best up paint and stains.

I stayed one night at Condovac and honestly wished it had been longer! The resort was clean and exactly as advertised. It never felt overcrowded, even at the pools and lounge areas—which were open until midnight (although towel service wasn’t available that late).

The rooms were spacious and comfortable. One of the AC units didn’t seem to cool as much as expected, but overall the stay was still very comfortable. No WiFi in rooms is a bummer.

Beach access was a highlight—clean and easy to get to. Kayaks are available starting at 9am, and there were a few local vendors nearby selling treats like snow cones and handmade artisan items, which added a nice local touch.

I really appreciated the continuous shuttle service around the property—it made getting up and down the hill effortless. The pools were warm and well-maintained.

The food was delicious and had a home-cooked feel. Dinner included options like rice, pasta, potato wedges, vegetables, and chicken or fish. Breakfast offered traditional rice and beans, sweet plantains, eggs, pancakes, salami, fruit, and cereal. Lunch featured arroz con pollo, white rice, ribs, and salad. And the tres leches dessert was amazing! Coffee was always available, and alcoholic drinks were included—shoutout to the friendly bartender who made a caipirinha so good I wanted another!

The only downside was the shuttle. Pickup from the airport is free, but return is not. It also isn’t 24hr (available from 7am–10pm). Paid $80 one way

I was very disappointed with this resort. It advertises having two restaurants, but that's misleading. There is only one kitchen, and if you eat in the other seating area, the waiter has to leave and go to another building to bring your food.

The food was poor in both quality and variety. The drink selection was also very limited, with very few liquor options available.

Meal service was restricted to specific hours: breakfast from 7:00–10:00 a.m., lunch from 12:00–3:00 p.m., and dinner from 6:00–9:00 p.m. The main bar closed at 10:00 p.m., and the swim-up bar closed at 6:00 p.m., which was disappointing for an all-inclusive resort.

Another major issue was the Wi-Fi. It was only available in the common areas and did not work in the guest rooms.

Finally, I felt the customer service was inconsistent. The staff seemed much friendlier and more attentive to guests who spoke their language, which made us feel overlooked.

Overall, this resort did not meet my expectations, and I would not recommend it based on my experience.

El hotel tiene puntos positivos, especialmente la ubicación, la vista, la cercanía a la playa y las piscinas, que son probablemente lo mejor de las instalaciones. El personal también fue muy amable y atento durante la estadía.

Sin embargo, el hotel claramente necesita una renovación, ya que las habitaciones, el restaurante y algunas áreas comunes se ven bastante deterioradas. La comida no estuvo mal y el desayuno fue bastante bueno, pero para ser un todo incluido esperaba más variedad. En el almuerzo y la cena no había buffet, sino pocas opciones a la carta, aproximadamente dos o tres alternativas.

Otro punto a mejorar es el horario del open bar. Cierra a las 10:00 p. m. y abre tarde en la mañana, por lo que si uno va solo por una noche realmente no logra aprovechar mucho el todo incluido. Entre el check-in, acomodarse y el check-out al mediodía del día siguiente, queda muy poco tiempo para disfrutar la barra libre. Además, el minibar es bastante básico.

En general, es un hotel para relajarse, disfrutar la piscina, la vista y la playa cercana, pero no lo recomendaría como una experiencia todo incluido completa ni como un lugar para ir de fiesta. Está bien si se consigue a buen precio, pero no es nada extraordinario.

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY FOLKS!!

The first thing they’ll tell you on arrival is that there’s no WiFi in any of the rooms, only in the common areas.

Then we get to the food, or lack of it. The best that can be said about the food is that it isn’t very appetizing, it’s cheap & nasty. As for choice, there’s no buffet or menu, you’re given two options & it’s take it or leave it. Rarely are there any desserts or basics for kids such as burgers or chicken nuggets. We never saw any ice cream either. Drinks are also limited, on day 3 of our stay they ran out of any sort of wine. On the day before we left there was no ketchup either. One of the waitresses gave me details of a local pizza delivery because the food there is so dreadful.

It’s an all inclusive resort where half the facilities are closed because there’s so few people around. The whole place is very run down, it’s also built on a very steep hillside & whilst there is transport chugging up & down, the novelty soon wears off.

Don’t waste your money, there’s far far better options elsewhere.

The room have an amazing beach view. Could use some renovation as; painting, or cleaning the walls and new pillows. The sheets and towels were clean and very well organized.
The Staff were amazing, very helpful and always with a smile.
Loved taking the shuttle to go down the beach. The hill is very deep so definitely taking a shuttle was helpful.
The FOOD was 10/10. so good perfect portion and the best of having inclusive is that we ate whatever we wanted. The drink tasted like juice so getting drunk would be easier if you want that 😅
Costa Rica Unique (a part of the excursion office) staff are so nice! very helpful on explaining what the packages are and what brings.

Overall very good for the price and amazing, definitely would recommend to someone!

This is an outdated resort in serious need of an update, the food was mostly bland, rice and beans. The staff in the dining room was generous and helpful and I think they used the available options to do the best they could. The bar ran out of beer 3 nights in a row. The shuttle was very unreliable and we often found ourselves and others waiting over 30 minutes for a ride up the mountain. The plus side is it is close to a beach and several restaurants and the accommodations are cheaper option. Bring your own washcloths because they don’t have any at all.

My wife & I traveled to Condovac last week 6/13/26 for a 1 week stay.
We arrived a little after 3 pm, we were hungry & tired, we asked if we could get some lunch, they said we could get a snack at the restaurant, it was a hot dog.
We checked into our room (romantic suite) with mini a bar. There was a 24 oz beer in the fridge with a couple of waters, the AC was barley running & I could not get the safe open to secure our passports ect. I walked up to the reception desk (no phones in the rooms)
They sent a maint guy to check it out & I was then offered another room, it was a 2 story room which was much better.
There is only 1 restaurant, dinner is a choice of chicken, pork & some nights tilapia,(the food is pretty good, just not much to choose from. lunch is typically the same & breakfast has a choice of 5 items. one morning I got the French toast & asked for syrup, they said they were out, 3 out of the seven days they were out of beer, no whiskey a couple of days & wine was available only 1 day.
I will say that the view from the pool & restaurant and the beach are very nice. No beach bar available.
There is a tour desk on site & the tours were pretty good.
I'm sure back in the day 45 years ago this was a great place, they have really let the place go.
I would not recommend this resort to any of my family or friends.

This was the worst place I ever stayed. It says all-inclusive but the choices are limited. They ran out of beer, no fruit or deserts available and there’s no meat offered during breakfast. Once the dinner closes you have no other options. No entertainment on the property whatsoever. The rooms are old and outdated. Apparently this resort is having some financial issues. we had to go to the market and buy sandwich meat and bread in case we got hungry later in the evening. I do not recommend this resort. we asked for a refund and they said there’s nothing they can do so we were stuck there.

We ate at a near by restaurant a sea food place 2 days during my 3 night stay they shouldn’t offer all inclusive because it’s a rip off and by the way no WiFi in the rooms or almost anywhere only by the reception that was another false advertisement. The list can go one . Save your money go somewhere else . There need major renovations

Stayed with my wife and son. The pool areas are nice and clean, the rooms are clean,but in need of updating. The staff was nice, Grevin was a great bartender, and Javier was a great tour advisor. That’s about where the good things end. The food was very limited, and consistently ran out of items on the menu, not to mention that the menu was basically the same every day. There was no alcohol provided for your room (I’ve never experienced this at an all inclusive resort). I asked on several occasions to buy beer for my room, and was told that I could not. The last day they ran out of beer, but suddenly they had different types of beer for sale. I was very upset, because this wasn’t offered before, but you shouldn’t have to purchase alcohol at an all inclusive??!! We upgraded to a beach view room with balcony, but none of the rooms in our area actually had a view of the beach, so I feel like that was money wasted. This area of Costa Rica is very beautiful, and I would recommend staying in this area, but I would definitely not recommend staying at this resort. There were far too many negatives to outweigh the very few positives

The room was very clean and the staff are super helpful with anything you need. It should be noted that during the off season the food is very limited and they run out of most everything on any given day. There isn’t a buffet, it’s either fish, pork or chicken. They ran out of beer but said they could sell us one, very confusing with that statement. The few rides that are here haven’t worked in years and should probably just be removed, they look terrible and are just taking up space. If you’re wanting privacy the off season is the time to go but it should say somewhere that you’re not getting what you see in the pictures, they had to have been taken during the busy season. There is no WiFi in the rooms, have to go to the common area to have that. I didn’t mind my stay here but I don’t need much but just expected what was shown in the pictures.

The place was absolutely beautiful, with amazing views that made the stay very enjoyable. The pools were also fantastic and one of the highlights of our visit. The property itself is well maintained and offers a relaxing atmosphere.

What I did not like was the food. The menu was very limited and did not offer enough variety. For example, one night the only main option available was pork, and since we do not eat pork, that left us with very few choices. Another issue was the lack of a kids’ menu. Traveling with a child can be challenging when there are no child-friendly food options, especially since children do not always eat what is offered on the regular menu.

Overall, the beautiful location, stunning views, and excellent pools were great, but the dining experience could be improved by offering more menu options and including a kids’ menu.

Pools were great, but that was pretty much it. This is an older, has been resort. It has great potential, but they seem to skimp on everything. There were two of us in a family suite. Not a couple, just 2 female friends. They only would give us 2 towels and 1 hand towel, and no wash cloths, even when requested more. We were told that’s all they give for 2 people. There were lots of bugs in the room. Little flying ants mostly, but we still don’t want them in the bed. The bar was limited on drinks they could provide (no mojitos, sangria, even simple popular drinks). Food options were minimal. Not buffet style. And 2 options, typically chicken with rice or pasta and pork chops. It all tasted the same, clearly leftovers from day to day. Fruit was also limited. Dessert looked like Little Debbie’s desserts. The beach was fine but beach lounges are falling apart both at beach and the pool. Not a place I would return or recommend.

Stayed with my family at the resort for a week - it was our first time in Costa Rica, and overall the stay was good. The views are absolutely stunning and very aesthetic, the beach is within a 3-minute walk, and there’s a convenient shuttle that takes you around the property.

That said, the all-inclusive food was disappointing. The options were very limited and repetitive (mostly rice, chicken, etc.). The rooms also do not have WiFi, it’s only available in the main lobby and restaurant areas.

We visited at the end of May and it seemed like we were among the only guests there, which I assume is why several restaurants on the property were closed, along with the poolside bar.

We were looking for a clean place to stay while venturing out to explore the Guanacaste region including several national parks and many beaches, so this met our needs. The room was clean, air conditioned and had a kitchenette which was a pleasant surprise. If we were looking an all-inclusive resort type of stay, it would have been a colossal failure. The food was cafeteria style, limited and not very good. The one bar that was open didn't have much to offer. The pools were nice, but otherwise there wasn't much to do. There wasn't any entertainment or activities. If you are like us and are looking for a clean place to sleep that is cost efficient this is your place. If you want a resort experience, this is not the place for you.

I honestly don’t understand how this resort is rated a 4-star property. This was the most disappointing travel experiences I’ve had.

There is essentially no WiFi anywhere on the resort, which is unacceptable in this day and age.

The rooms were extremely run down. The TV remotes didn’t work, we were constantly dealing with fire ants, and there were basically no standard amenities — no mini fridge, no iron, no coffee maker, nothing. It felt very bare and poorly maintained.

The towels were disgusting. What were supposed to be white towels were gray, stained, old, and rough. Completely unacceptable from a cleanliness standpoint.

The biggest issue was the food. The resort advertises multiple restaurants, a snack bar, but in reality, there was one buffet serving the same food every single day and it was terrible. My wife wouldn’t eat it, and even my 4 & 5 year-old kids refused the food. We basically survived on soggy French fries for an entire week. That alone should tell you everything.

For comparison, I’ve stayed at all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic (multiple times), & Saint Martin every one of them was miles better than this place.

This resort is run down and on the verge of going out of business. I genuinely cannot understand how it qualifies as a 4-star resort.

Costa Rica itself is beautiful, the people are wonderful but I strongly recommend staying somewhere else

To any Americans reading this: stay clear of Condovac La costa.

He should give lessons to the others on how to provide good service. One reason I actually picked this resort was because it was all inclusive, however the food was not the best. We ate out more than a few
few times once we got to know the area. Unfortunately we will not return to this resort. It needs to improve drastically. Especially the restaurant. I was told by a local that this used to be one of the best resorts. Hopefully it can return to its forrmer glory.

Nuestra experiencia en Condovac Papagayo fue realmente decepcionante de principio a fin. Desde que llegamos, el lobby era un caos: gritos y discusiones por una reunión de socios que daba una pésima primera impresión. Aun así, decidimos darle una oportunidad.

Las instalaciones se ven completamente descuidadas y en decadencia: lámparas dañadas o titilando, techos con humedad y manchas negras, áreas viejas y sin mantenimiento. En el restaurante no había música, las mesas no tenían servilletas, los mesoneros tenían paños sucios y meros colgando de los hombros y el servicio fue terrible. La comida estaba muy regular y ni siquiera había atención adecuada para las bebidas.

La habitación fue otro desastre: había una fuga de agua desde que entramos, el aire acondicionado no funcionaba y la puerta del baño estaba dañada. Intentamos comunicarnos múltiples veces con recepción por llamada y WhatsApp y nadie respondía. En el check-in incluso olvidaron entregarnos la información básica del hotel y horarios.

Al día siguiente tratamos de confirmar el horario del desayuno porque nadie contestaba en recepción. Llegamos a las 10:15 a.m. y nos dijeron de manera muy negativa que el desayuno terminaba a las 10:00. Explicamos que nunca nos dieron la información y pedimos aunque fuera algo sencillo, pero no hubo ninguna intención de ayudar.

Honnêtement les photos sur le site ne correspondent pas à se que nous avons reçus. La nourriture au buffet était toujours la même et ils n’avais que 5 choix plus des hot dogs. Mais manger sa tout la semaine c’était pas top. De plus, nous avons eu beaucoup de problème avec la navette fournie par l’hôtel. Nous n’avons pas eu de réponses avant notre arriver pour confirmer la navette donc nous avons pris l’initiative de commander un taxi cependant l’hôtel a écouter nos plusieurs messages sur leur répondeur et nous avais finalement envoyé la navette. Donc nous avons payer en double pour l’aller et la navette fournie pour le retour finalement n’était pas comprise donc nous l’avons payer aussi. Le seul point positif que je dirais c’est que l’hôtel se situe proche de la plage et qu’il y a 3 piscine. Il n’y a pas beaucoup de chaise longue. Et vous devez être en capacité de pouvoir marcher car les chambres si situés dans une cote apique qu’il faut monter à chaque fois que vous voulez allez à la piscine, manger, aller à la plage, dormir, aller a la réception. Sur le site aussi, il est indiqué qu’il y a des manèges ( ceux-ci sont en arrêt) et les restaurants ne sont pas ouvert.

Staff was great beds were ok. You could see people walking by through the crack in the door. You had to lock yourself in the room with the key. Food was not very good. Same thing every day. Only about 5 options. Facility needs a lot of upkeep. Drink options were limited. The hills were super steep. Not recommended unless you are fit. They did have a pickup that would take you around if it didn't already have 3 people in it.

Pool was nice. The rest is garbage. The food is reused day to day hardly any alcohol choices no juice limited water none in room no bottle water. You cannot get around easy steep terrain. I got food poisoning so bad that I did not enjoy my trip. Throwing up and the other end dry heaves horrible waisted all this money for truly the worst vacation ever. Why on earth do you sell as an all inclusive. There was hardly anything to eat and the food just sat out all day in the heat.

Stayed at Condovac la Costa in April. The views are excellent and the pools are a standout—well designed with great scenery and a very relaxing atmosphere. The food was good, and the staff was consistently excellent—friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout the stay.

On the downside, several amenities were closed or not operational during the visit, which limited the overall experience. The property also needs more consistent maintenance, as some areas feel worn and not as well kept as expected.

Overall, a good stay with strong service and great views, but there’s clear room for improvement on upkeep and availability of amenities.

I would give this place a 0 stars if I could. This turned into a vacation from hell. Tired, old, amenities in ruin. Cutting corners with hygiene, caused me to end up in hospital for 4 days with e-coli and Norovirus - from their food and drinks.
I reached out for some sort of explanation, compensation or even apology … and got nothing. NOTHING!!! No response, despite several reach outs. Expedia supported my claim - and were responsive - but wouldn’t take them off of their list of properties???!!! As, “according to the rules and regulations”, they didn’t owe me any compensation for a vacation that they ruined. And cost me my good health. Expedia tried to offer me the days missed if we went back before the end of 2026. Not only are flights not affordable to us, but we would NEVER stay there again.
Trying to keep others from ending up with a similar experience and ruined vacation :(

I booked Condovac la Costa through Expedia specifically because the listing indicated free airport pickup and 24-hour shuttle service. This was a key factor in my decision.

After booking, I promptly sent my flight details. However, the hotel later informed me that airport transportation must be requested at least 48 hours in advance and could not be arranged for my arrival.

This requirement was not clearly stated during booking and resulted in unexpected transportation costs and inconvenience. I recommend Expedia ensure that important conditions like advance notice requirements are clearly disclosed, and I hope this issue can be fairly resolved.

The pictures looked nothing like the resort. The resort was run down, every lounger was broken, hammocks had holes etc. The room was not the cleanest- mirrors had a thick film, perimeter + corners all had debris. The food in the pictures did not exist and in fact the food was awful! It was the same everyday, beans rice + meat.
The view however was amazing, the staff was great and the drinks were nice and stiff.

Till date the worst resort I have ever been to. Rooms are clean but many bugs access to the beach is a mission all on it’s own rooms and eating area is up on a mountain and transportation is hit and miss they have one truck going around giving rides but good luck on that guy takes forever to come back to the pick up areas. And the food buffet if you want to call it that is terrible maybe 4 items if lucky and food is not good. No room service no phones in the rooms and any kind of service is nonexistent please keep away from this place we had to find other places to eat or do any kind of entertainment. I even had the hard decision of leaving a day earlier than I had paid for and paid for new flights.

Location is beautiful, staff is very accommodating. The place itself is really nice, it’s just they let it go a little bit. Could use some pressure washing and some new pool chairs. And there are old rundown carnival type rides that don’t work which is weird. Also, they had a couple things that was odd that we didn’t have like there were not any pepper shakers in the restaurant, which by the way I use the word restaurant loosely as it’s just a outside buffet bar that they use for all three meals. Also no washcloths in the rooms. Also, if you wanted to make a reservation for the other restaurant, you only could do it between two and four, and we were only able to do that one out of the four nights because they are apparently closed on Sundays. But for the price and location, I really can’t complain, those are just nitpicking. Again very great staff and beautiful location!

Pros: The pool was great, the food was okay- we ate out a few times. All inclusive so they have it all breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have a tram that takes you to and from your room to the common areas, also the hotel is kind of connected to the beach. You can walk there or take the tram.

Cons: no clean towels, no pool towels, no phone in the rooms, no WiFi in the rooms we had to walk up the hill to just call our family and friends or post anything on ig since WiFi is only in the common areas. This location is prolly like 10-15 min from coco beach and you basically have to uber everywhere in Costa Rica or get a taxi

The pictures posted for this resort are 16 yrs old. There is no wifi in any rooms, all the decor is outdated and smells of mold. The views from the balcony are of other rooms roofs. The buffet is always the same, dry, undercooked and no variety. They close everything down at the pool area at 10 pm- lights and all. No drinks or ice unless you hike up an inclined hill in 108 degree weather. The hotdogs for the kids were so old and dry that they looked like sun dried veiny wiener raisin.
The shuttle from the airport never came to pick me up- had to pay a random taxi cash plus tip- because he asked for it- to make it there- plus the hotel had to provide the ride back to the airport back- so paying for the round trip, why did I?
The false advertising of the food, views, rooms, all of it- very deceiving. Making my first time out of the country the worst experience. Told to download the whatsapp to communicate- yet you can’t use it without wifi- which was nonexistent. No phones in any rooms. No room service as advertised because how would I call for it?
Rice in the morning, rice in the evening, rice at supper time.
What a joke and a disappointing vacation

Please don’t book this place we had a horrible experience. I paid for my son and wife to visit Costa Rica we never stayed at an all inclusive and this was the worse place ever. Pictures are 16 years old. Location is beautiful but the hotel, food , and staff was not something I paid for. This is false pretense I paid 5k for 4 people and I regret the trip. We had to eat out most of the time, they left out the food all day. Hot dog sat all day in a tray. Pool tiles coming apart, rooms outdated. I give this place a -0 Expedia needs to fake this place off site it’s selling under false pretense. A family from another country was upset when they seen what they paid for and I’m not sure if they were able to resolve it. We had to make the best of it. I will be getting a hold of Expedia someone needs to answer for this. We paid a lot of money for this vacation that was a horrible stay. I took pictures I hope I can upload

Our family of 6 stayed in the family suite for 3 nights. 2 double beds and a separate room with a king bed, 1 bathroom. The 1 bathroom was a little tricky especially in the morning and at shower time, but we made it work. Our only complaint for the room is no hot water for showers, but maybe this is throughout the property.

We liked the food as it was more authentic than a different property we stayed at right before going to Condovac. We would've liked the buffet eggs at breakfast to be more cooked.

We loved the setting being higher in the mountains, a lot of animals, a short walk (or shuttle ride provided by the property) to the beautiful beach and a little store right by the beach for souvenirs or to restock toiletries/snacks. The shuttle became a great option as we tired from walking up the steep road to the main part of the resort.

The main part is where the pools are, the dining hall with plenty of seating, a bath house & workout building with weights and cardio equipment. We enjoyed the lizards and iguanas walking around the pool deck! Listening to and seeing howler monkeys! We wish there were more pool chairs/loungers. Too few of loungers for even half the guests to use. They were taken quickly and people were not shy about leaving a towel on it while they weren't using it for hours at a time.

The 4 pools were very clean. Beautiful infinity pools! Wading area and shallow pool for younger kids. Staff was awesome 24/7!!!

The place is basically Costa Rica on a budget . The amenities are ok . The rooms are down a hill that you have to wait for a car to come get you or you walk which is very inconvenient especially if you are with children because having to go up and down to go eat etc . The food is not great and very limited it’s basically 2 proteins some rice and salad . Not really buffet at all . More like school cafeteria style . If your looking to just stay at the hotel I wouldn’t recommend but if you need somewhere cheap to stay and your gonna eat out etc then it’s a good spot to stay. Also the rooms are clean and staff is friendly and very helpful. Pool is nice too and the view is great

The pictures are very deceiving. Property ruin down. Food horrible. The staff was nice especially bar tender Gene. Four pools there might be 10 chase lounge that was broken. Pool towels had holes in them. You have to walk up one hell of a hill to go to the pool and buffet. Tub wouldn’t drain, let’s not forget about the ants in the room.They do have a shuttle if available. Pizza bar not open. No phones in rooms if there is a problem. Plus they never answered the phone if I called from my cell. Walk ways are dark. We got food poisoning that landed me in the ER when we finally made it home after canceling 3 flights from being so sick. I would avoid this place because it’s made me never want to go back to CR

La habitación le falta pintura y eso que es una habitación por la cual se paga más .Dicen que tiene un mini bar y es un cerveza grande y dos botellas de agua.
Aparte llegamos el jueves y hasta el sábado nos llevaron otros paños, cuando se está en un hotel de playa se entiende que las personas se bañan más seguido. Escribí dos veces al WhatsApp del hotel para solicitar lo mismo .
Otro punto importante fue el desayuno donde el Pinto se sentía seco , la urna de las frutas sucias . El personal amable eso sí pero me parece muy raro que no tenga sustituto de azúcar mi marido es diabético y no tenían .
En teoría desde la habitación se veía el mar , imposible porque los árboles no tenían mantenimiento y las hojas no dejan ver el mar.
La cena que es aparte muy buena pero me parece que una sola persona que sea la que haga todo es incómodo.
En general se pasó bien pero siento que hay detalles que no invitan a volver .

The only thing nice about this place was the courtesy of the staff and the amazing view. Had room where caulk was put over mold and had cracked walls. AC didn’t work and asked twice to fix. Raccoons took housing above our room so they moved us to another room that had no hot water. You only get two towels in your room and mini bar is 2 waters and 1 beer. Pool towel exchange was missing towels for large parts of the day during our stay. Buffet is four items for example rice, fried banana, sliced potatoes and pork. Breakfast was recent and basic as well. On the days the restaurant is open that is your best choice, you need to make your reservation between 2-4 and order your meal then. Bar open from 10am-10pm with ok drinks. Shuttle to get around hotel is constant. You get free shuttle from airport but pay $35 USD per person to return.

RACOONS! If you like racoons, this is the resort for you. They were living in the ceiling of our room (2400’s). The pool was the highlight, when it wasnt closed because the bacteria levels were too high. The beach was great and the views were absolutely amazing. Off site excursions were great. The restaurant next door was also very good. Some of the kitchen staff was unhelpful and rude, but the front desk was generally helpful but would not provide information about dining or events. By the way, all inclusive means free drinks and a buffet for all meals open during specific windows. There was a small on site restaurant opened every other day that was good if you could reserve one of the few available tables. The scenery does include closed childrens carnival rides, closed restaurants, and often times only one bar was open.

Overall, Costa Rica was amazing and we will definitely return! Just not to this resort…

I was disappointed because much of what they advertised (and why we paid $ to stay at this particular property) flat out didn’t exist. There is no beach volleyball, no basketball courts, no arcade, there is no pizzeria, there is not more than 1 restaurant-actually there is a buffet that has very little variety and the same thing day after day and there is another restaurant that (despite being specifically listed on our reservation) they refused to let us eat there. Our room was in very poor condition (but in all fairness-we went into another person’s room and it was much better). There is no hot tub (there is an area that we think is supposed to be but probably broken). We were able to stay positive and we made the most of our stay but we do feel lied to and a bit cheated - very disappointed in the property. Positive—-The view was great!! We liked Costa Rica. We may go back but not likely to this location. I would not recommend this property.

Pool closed everyday for fouling all the time. Hot tub is a polar plunge. Lots of Canadians looking for somewhere else to stay. In a land that has fruit vegetables and chocolate there are none available here. Maid opened safe and she has purse and passport for us to check out cause she wanted to clean the room early . Buffet is not a buffet ad should read hot meal available and drinks all included Buffet is a two star Cuba buffet. Actually maybe be a one star Cuba resort. Everything is broken carousel merry go round. Fruit stand closed. Old hotdog fries and stale buns to eat Room is on a huge hill up and down to get to pool or you can wait for full trolley that won’t stop.

The resort is not what it used or appears to be in photos. My wife, daughter and I stayed for 5 nights in March 2026 and purchased the \"all inclusive\" package. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable but there was no wi-fi in the rooms. The buffet was repetitive serving the bare minimums and on one night left over ribs only the second time around they were covered in fresh bbq sauce. The transportation offered to move folks from the rooms, beach, pool and restaurants took between 15-20 minutes as there was only one vehicle shuttling folks up the mountain. The area is beautiful, the beach wonderful but the restaurant area was in terrible shape. The Ferris wheel, bumper cars and carrousel were not operating. Find another place for your money.

Pool was full of trash and everything was broken. The \"all inclusive\" food and drink was 4-5 buffet items and 2L bottles of soda / beer (draft equipment was broken). I've never seen a resort serve beer out of 40oz bottles. Jacuzzi was cold, room was dirty, outdated and in disrepair. Dead tropical plants everywhere. This place is not taken care of... They charge the same as every place around but clearly don't invest anything in keeping the property clean / staffed / in usable condition. The view and the beach are nice, coincidentally the only things not really under their control. We left our two night stay after one night and stayed elsewhere down the beach. Hotel is refused a refund for the second night even though the place isn't busy. Avoid.

I got food poisoning from this place by the second day. The all inclusive is only a buffet that serves the same food every day and it is not good food. We ate at local restaurants which offered more variety and food tasted way better. Just because it says all inclusive you will end up spending money to eat at other places.
