If you want to feel like you are actually in Costa Rica, but have modern accommodations, this is the place. Our studio room with kitchen was a little dated but comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. The best part was the surrounding gardens where we were visited by monkeys and birds of all types. The pool area was small but very nice. They claim to have a grill area but it requires wood or charcoal so not convenient. It is an easy 1 block to the beach, 1/4 mile to groceries and several bars/Restaurants. Would gladly return.
