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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Incredible, intimate and just awesome. The beach is top notch, practically no one around. Literal paradise
Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024

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.

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.

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

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.

Very good one night stay. Room was comfortable and convenient to restaurant and pool. Pool was relaxing but only very shallow or too deep to stand. I didn’t like that shower floor was hard to stand on with round large stones. Good was good at restaurant but expensive.

Very quant small boutique accommodation in a secluded area of Quopes about 30 minute drive away. Right on a beautiful beach which black sand. More of a location for decompresion than chocked full of activities. Miles of beach to walk on, especially good at low tide where a 100 yards of the beach is exposed. Owner is fabulous, help me set up day trips. Have to drive down a dirt road 3 miles to get to the resort. Again, isolated area.
