The property was amazing, so many fun areas to take photos and sit. There was even a garden with all sorts of herbs and veggies to see growing. The tub on the patio was my favorite part, second to the food and spa services. The staff were amazing, I was able to practice my Spanish with them and they were very patient and kind. They even helped with photos, a true all inclusive experience. I had a wonderful stay there and would absolutely stay again. Pura vida!

The check in is strictly 2 pm. No earlier than that. The farm is so cute with friendly animals that are well taken care of. The restaurant is delicious, gourmet food at reasonable prices. The staff is very nice and accommodating all throughout the hotel. The room is comfortable, rustic and the fire place is a most at night time because it gets chilly. During the day the weather is warm. Is a great place to relax.

Beautiful location. The room was very clean and nice. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. I would describe the property as luxury camping. It is located in the mountains so during our entire stay, it was very windy. The wind was loud. That is the only negative thing and no fault of the hotel.
