This was my favorite hotel of the trip. I loved everything about it! The hostess has a flair for sparing no attention to detail. The vibe is wonderful and so is the food. The room was clean and comfortable. Across the street is a beautiful secluded beach. I will stay here again!

Best option to disconnect and rest, and enjoy the beach. Take into account you will need a car to get to the property

Incredible stay at the resort. My family thoroughly enjoyed the property, the kind staff and impeccable service, the animals on property, the remote and tranquil location with beach access across from the pool.

The owner of this resort treats everyone like her family. My kids and I loved our stay as we felt taken care of and tended to. The facilities were beautiful and the private beach was exquisite. We loved the food and entire dining experience. We also loved the rescue animals roaming the property. We hope to go back and stay again!!

Perfection on every level! Garden rooms with a pristine beach a short walk away! The most comfortable beds and welcoming atmosphere! This is our favorite place to stay in Costa Rica! The highlight is the owner who creates the best food we’ve ever had in our lives. Everything she made was so delicious. We love the rescue animals that live at the resort and look forward to returning soon.

This is a nice place to go if you want something quiet and not tooany ppl. They are pet friendly which is always a plus. Overall the restaurant food and drink prices I thought were high but other than that, they staff was great. The pool is one of the best I've seen around and will definitely go back. I'll just load up on beers before getting there.

location and staff are amazing. if you are a pet lover you will like this place. There are many lovely pets around the facility. very quiet. The beach feels as though it is private so there are few people in this area, and it is an exceptionally clean beach.

Great and secluded little hotel right in front of the beach, with a huge pool and a peaceful atmosphere. Definitely will be back and recommend.

A slice of paradise off the beaten path. Beautiful grounds, manicured gardens and a few steps away from the most pristine secluded private beach that seems to go on for miles. Wish we had more time there. Serene and relaxing. A real hidden gem. Diana the owner was a pleasure and you can tell she has put in a lot of effort to make her guests feel welcome. The decor is eclectic and unique. The best part of the stay were the friendly dogs on the property that lead you to your villas and accompany you to the beach and pool. Great for both couples and families. Puts Vida!

It was a comfortable stay. The highlight was the almost private secluded beach. Being exposed to the elements the property is not in the best condition, but the host immediately took care of any problems we had. FYI there are a few dogs, a cat, and a couple of raccoons which belong to the owner, and live on the property and walk around in the dining area. The food was delicious, and cooked from scratch, so give plenty of time for it to be prepared. A bit on the pricier side. The approach road to the property is a 5km gravel road. All in all a good place to have a quiet, secluded vacation.

This place was amazing! Diana was a very kind and welcoming host! Also, the best food I've ever had! I would definitely visit this place again.

Incredible, intimate and just awesome. The beach is top notch, practically no one around. Literal paradise
3-night trip

10/10

Beautiful facility, well designed and maintained, pool and restaurant were perfect. The host Diane was exceptionally friendly and accomodating. There were friendly dogs for company and even a pet racoon! The room was very comfortable and had everything, except for a sorely needed shelf or countertop in the bar/fridge/coffee area. It was a perfect dream vacation, with a private beach, and nearby attractions in Quepos. There were however unwanted "critters". A small scorpion was hiding under our bed covers one night, and we were met by a boa constrictor at our door the next night. I expect this in Costa Rica, so it didn't affect this rating. But instead of responding with "oh that's a "beatiful little bug", or a "beautiful snake" and dismissing them, the host should have assured us that they would, in the future, be sure to check the bed for "bugs" before we enter, and the exterior for snakes.
3-night trip

2/10

This "resort" is a scam - not only is it not a resort, this place is an animal sanctuary. While I understand costa rica is full of animals/nature, it would have been appropriate for the owner of this "resort" to mention that she has stray dogs all over the premises which follow guests into their rooms. Additionally, they have a stray raccoon on the premises that as per the owner Daine "He goes into the guests rooms but hes harmless" & she laughs off the fact that this was not mentioned anywhere online nor in the confirmation emails. The raccoon opened the door to our room & was about to come inside before we screamed as loud as we could and he ran away. Now for the room, in pictures it looks like a nice villa with a kitchen and old school bathroom, however upon arrival you realize how out dated those pictures are. The kitchen had visible mold and the stench of spoiled water (mold) that made it nearly impossible to stay in the kitchen for longer than 2 minutes. The bathroom had remnants of soap (from previous guests I assume), mold, and also appeared as though it was wiped down as opposed to cleaned/prepared for new guests. Truthfully, it looked as thought it had just been used minutes prior. Water was still everywhere on the floor, the towels were not folded, and of course the smell of mold. This place is NOT a resort, has a raccoon on premises (check the other reviews, i'm not lying; he nearly went into my room) and the owner laughs off people for wanting what they paid for.

This was our second visit in the past few years. We love going here to just get away from it all. The staff and owner are always so attentive and accommodating.
2-night trip

6/10

The staff was friendly and the grounds were nice. One of the only upsides to this property is that the beach is steps away. If you’re coming with a family just beware there aren’t many restaurants in the area. The property as a whole is pretty run down.

A hidden gem right on the beach which goes for miles. Beach is nice sand, rolling pacific warm waves. Hotel has a pool, great rooms and a warm welcome from the host. If you like peace and quiet, this is a great place for you. Only down side is the food is more expensive
1-night trip

10/10

The resort offered a nice getaway being away from the busy areas with a semi private beach that wasn’t crowded and had pretty sunset views. The staff were friendly and attentive. Rooms were clean and the style and decor was resort boho chic. Perfect for a secluded Costa Rica vacation. We had a rental car so coming and going to town was easy for us.

Property has a lot of potential. The view is breathtaking and the grounds are beautiful. However I felt like I was camping. The rooms need updating and cleaning. The dogs and staff are great.

If you are looking for a place to totally unwind relax. Disconnect, this is the place you have to like dogs and don't mind the raccoon. The staff was amazing. The owner saw to our needs made us feel so special for our anniversary. The food was amazing. The room was amazing. It's off the beaten path but it was perfect.
