Pourrait être parfait
Pros:

Hotel magnifique (+beau encore que sur les photos), piscine agréable
Bien équipé
Présence de aras sauvages (cabane à oiseau présent sur le site, on les entend bruyemment passer et on les voit voler)
Calme
Bien placé sur la côte pour vadrouiller entre Santa Teresa et paquera avec une bonne route (pas le cas en allant vers le nord vers Sámara avec 3 passages de rivière et chemin non macadamé)

Cons:

Si j'étais en stage d'école de commerce ici je proposerais des améliorations sans attendre:

-proposer un cocktail sans alcool a l'arrivee:  un hôtel avec un restau et un bar de ce prix/ standing qui ne propose pas un verre alors qu'on ne peut arriver ici qu'après un long voyage...

-améliorer le service, la communication:
J'ai demandé 3 renseignements à 3 personnes différentes (excursions, enclos à tortue, ferry) j'attends tjrs les réponses. Personnes ne sait, ils vont demander, personne ne nous recontacte jamais.
Et ma demande sur Booking n'a jamais eu de reponse non plus.
Accueil minimaliste (réception fermé à 16h...) au bar.
C'est de nous même que nous avons découvert le dernier jour:
des sanitaires supplémentaire près de la piscine  (en cas de turista c'est utiles...), une douche de plage de l'hôtel,
2 jeux de plage avec piquet (on ne saura jamais où chercher le matériel pour jouer ni les règles)
et en fait tout puisque on ne nous a jamais rien dit.
Nous n'avons jamais trouvé l'enclos à tortue (le livret d'accueil laisse entendre que c'est peut être à une autre saison, qui sait...?)

-avoir un numéro whatapp pour communiquer avec les clients déjà avant leur arrivée, comme ça été le cas dans nos 9 autres hôtels au Costa rica (tous moins chers...) ! Pour souhaiter la bienvenue,, savoir comment et quand on arrive, ... Etc. Et puis l'écrit c'est la base quand on a sans cesse besoin de tout traduire !

-orienter la communication commerciale vers la présence des macauw scarlet (aras rouge) dans les arbres ! On a payé 25 dollars/pers pour les voir dans une réserve à islida, ça n'aurait pas été nécessaire de la faire si nous avions su. Il n'y a pas un mot sur eux, ni du personnel ni dans le livret d'accueil !

Hôtel tout en bois en bord de mer
Pros:

Très bel hôtel en bord de plage.Les aras Macao sont nombreux et se donnent en spectacle. La chambre est immense et donne sur la piscine. Le personnel est très sympa.

Cons:

Le lit est tellement haut qu´il faut prendre son élan pour grimper dessus; c´est un peu vieillot.

Pros:

Lage und Zimmer sind sehr schön und sauber

Cons:

Das Frühstück lässt sehr zu Wünschen übrig.
Alte Müslidose, kein frischer Orangensaft und Zusatzwünsche wie Eier oder typ CostaRica Frühstück müssen extra bezahlt werden. Passt nicht zu Hotelkategorie.
Insgesamt fehlt etwas die Herzlichkeit

Amazing cabins!
Pros:

A very unique resort made of wooden duplex cabins. We paid a little extra for the a cabin on the second floor, and it was a good decision. The view of the beach and the scarlet macaws on the property were excellent from our balcony. The cabin is spacious and comes with a sitting area and an equipped kitchen which we used to cook ourselves a meal one evening. There is also furniture on the balcony to sit on and enjoy the afternoons. There is a blender, an oven, a stove, a coffee maker, a toaster, and fridge. There is also a small safe to fit documents. On the whole, very thoughtfully designed accommodations and very comfortable. The showers produced very nicely warm water for after the beach, and the pool was also warmer than in other places we stayed at. Good bathroom products as well! Breakfast was tiered ...a continental breakfast with some pastries, toast, granola and yogurt was available for free, but extras such as eggs and meat were charged. We were okay with this since we are not big breakfast eaters. Staff was lovely and kind. Came by to check on us and get us drinks one afternoon when we were sitting somewhat further away overlooking the beach. A couple of mini-supers close by (walking distance) and a pizza restaurant (just okay). A great place to relax and see and hear birds!

Cons:

There was something with the bedding (feathers?) that didn't work for me and gave me some allergies/sniffles. Moved to sleeping on the couch in the room and it became okay! Food options for dinner are not paritcularly varied or exciting, especially for vegetarians/vegans. Other than this everything was great.

Relaxing.
Pros:

Amazing soft sandy beach, a dream for swimmers. The rooms are very spacious, clean and well maintained. The manager Juan Carlo is a gem, he went above and beyond to help us find activities. It is a quiet resort, perfect for relaxation. But lots of potential for activities around. The spa massage was surprisingly great.

Cons:

Breakfast really needs to be upgraded. Most items had to be paid for and even then it wasn’t good. Extra amenities in the rooms would be appreciated. Yoga classes should be offered. The resort really includes no activities except the beach.

There is a lot potential at this beautiful property, just need to pay more attention to guests.
Pros:

Facilities were excellent, location perfect, the issues we have were parking lot to small due to many people come to drink at the bar and taking all the guests’ parking spaces, also due restaurant open to public there were no privacy at the pool (restaurant’s tables place around the pool. Waiters not so friendly with guests, only with people on the bar.

Perfect couples getaway off the beaten path.
Pros:

Quiet, clean property with excellent food and pool. It was a great value and just what we were looking for. The private cabin with kitchen was lovely and air conditioned.

There were enough things to do nearby but not so much that it was crowded or overwhelming.

The scarlet macaws are magnificent and nest on the property.

Great spot for early risers
Pros:

Great staff, really accomodating and nice. Food was great, breakfast was ok. Good spot right in front of the beach and right next to a supermarket. Kitchen and apartment has everything you need. Daily cleaning was good too

Cons:

Big round skylight in the middle of the ceiling flooded the room with sunlight disrupting sleep. Same thing with critters on the roof which were really loud. We were told laundry was free and included with our stay just to be charged at the end which was confusing.
