"Yes it was "

"The pictures shown are on purpose misleading, focusing on some fitness model. The facilities felt like they had seen better days and are now decaying, not being maintained properly. The floor of our room seemed like it had rust/was permanently dirty. The room was not so clean, and we found hair in the duvet and pillows. Not just one, but quite some here and there in our bed. The couch had stains and marks. Same for our white towels, they all had stains. For what we paid (around $170 per night), really not worth it. We stayed at 3-star hotels around Costa Rica that were much better, by no means was this a 4.5 star property. The breakfast felt also poor, just a dish to chose from a menu, and not a huge quantity. Everywhere else in Costa Rica they were offering fresh fruits as well in advance, and if we hadn’t asked for juice ourselves, they wouldn’t have offered, in contrast to all other places we have been. Finally it can feel quite noisy on the rooms of lower floor, next to street/restaurant. I was really surprised with all this after all the good reviews I had seen, making me wonder if we were unlucky with the room, or something else was happening."

"The property is beautiful "

"Great facilities, wonderful pool and lots of places to walk. Very relaxing and comfortable."

"Clean room. Lovely clean swimming pool. Reception staff was helpful and courteous. Restaurant was good, food and staff. "

"Older hotel and basic rooms. Could use a facelift. Driveway in is dangerous to get in and out of."

"Room was good. Clean. Neat. Pool very nice. Quiet. Breakfast was superb and lady was so nice. You have to drive all through a small town to get there. But resort is very peaceful and quiet."

"Communication was grudging at best, there was no one there to receive us and no information folder. In consequence, we did not have the front door code or the lock box code to get the beach club cards until hours after we arrived and I had bullied the driver that picked us up at the airport into helping me. Bob was great! The property is amazing and we enjoyed it tremendously. The area has lots of restaurants and convenient shopping. Rent a golf cart, it made our lives so easy!"

"Clean room and steps from the pool. The air conditioner is ice cold and the bed very comfy. We also liked the spacious shower. Pops ice cream is to die for and we enjoyed the short walk to mantas beach where we saw many monkeys with their babies, a sloth and her baby too along with the resident macaws! The pool is clean huge and very welcoming!! We liked the iguanas sunning beside the pool too. We would stay again, very private and abundant wildlife too"
