A fantastically beautiful and relaxing experience. Our hosts, the staff and the entire estate were all top-notch. The gorgeous architecture of the inn, the custom lap pool and surrounding pool deck made for a perfect stay. Our room, with a walk-in closet, and the en-suite bath were both huge and spotless. Almost any activity can be arranged through them, and there are at least 3-4 good restaurants within a very short walk. You can't go wrong staying here.

Overall, I have nothing to add but give this place 5 stars. The location is fantastic with a beautiful beach. The rooms are superb and very clean. The management is pleasant, attentive, and thoughtful. Karen and Steve are always there to help with any questions or concerns, and are available around the clock. The only small issue to mention is a generator that runs at times, creating a quiet but constant hum that can be a bit annoying. However, despite this minor inconvenience, this place was the most beautiful, enjoyable, and relaxing place we visited during our 21 days in Costa Rica and Panama. We would happily return.

This restaurant was the beginning of our journey. The atmosphere was amazing. They showed great compassion for a baby orphan.

We absolutely loved the location in the rainforest. The breakfast was excellent and we enjoyed falling asleep to the sounds of the animal world. Karen and Steve were wonderful hosts, ensuring that our time there was special. We had fun riding bikes around the property, and they even had one with a child seat for our 2-year-old son. Some things were closed due to COVID-19, but we still had plenty of dining options and tours to enjoy. The lack of air conditioning made us a little nervous, but the fan and open windows (with screens) kept us perfectly cool at night. It was a truly rewarding experience, especially listening to the ocean waves and wildlife outside.
