A Great place to end your Holiday in Costa Rica
Pros:

We stayed at this Hotel for our last 3 nights of our holiday to this wonderful country. There is a free shuttle to Carrillo Beach. The public bus picks up right outside the hotel takes you into Samara Town for 500 colones each, with it's many restaurants and bars and a fantastic bakery near the bus stop.
Douglas on reception was very informative and helpful and the service in the restaurant from Eddy and Henry was first class. The food in the restaurant is very, very good and the portions are very large too.
Rooms we had were excellent and very clean. The pool is great as is the pool bar.

Overall, a great place to stay to wind down at the end of your Holiday.

Excellent stay, we enjoyed every minute there and appreciated much the staff and the facilities.
Pros:

The hotel facilities including the restaurant, the pool, the green zones and the staff were amazing. I also liked the distance from the Carrillo beach. The service at the beach where you have restrooms, a shower and the chairs were extremely helpful and unexpected; that was a nice touch to the whole experience.

Cons:

just a minimum detail; we couldn't use the coffee maker in the room; when we tried to use it, there where small bugs we could not see if they where cockroach, so, we decided not to pass the coffee complementary at the room.

Le petit déjeuner et très bien fourni et de bonne qualité.
Il est très proche de la plage de Carillo sur laquelle l'hôtel propose des chaises longues.

Nous avons dû changer de chambre pour la seconde car nous étions pas du tout dans les chambres supérieures que nous avions réservées.
Le prix des repas le soir est exorbitant.
