Great resort experience. I felt like I was a Don in the Zorro Movie. Rooms were clean and staff was attentive. Food was excellent. Horseback riding was awesome. We took a 2 hour ride through the Costa Rica rain forest and I loved it.

Das Zimmer hat schrecklich muffig / ungelüftet gerochen – ebenso wie das Haupthaus. Auch Lüften brachte nichts. Die Preise für Speisen und Getränke im Restaurant haben wir als unangemessen / sportlich empfunden. Ein kleines Tässchen Cappuccino kostet beim eigentlich inkludierten Frühstück 5 US Dollar.

Die Anlage war sehr groß und weitläufig. Wir hatten unser Zimmer, obwohl nicht ausgebucht, am äußersten Ende der Anlage. Deswegen brauchten wir überall hin einen Shuttle mit dem Golfcar. Dieser konnte schnell und unkompliziert per WhatsApp gebucht werden. Als wir im Zimmer ankamen, war die AC auf 16 Grad eingestellt. Es brauchte Stunden, bis die Fenster nicht mehr angelaufen waren. Es roch deswegen die ganze Zeit extrem nach Schimmel. Das Zimmer an sich war sehr groß und mit einem wunderschönen Blick. Das Abendessen war auch in Ordnung. Das Personal war jederzeit super freundlich und hilfsbereit.
