"We traveled as a party of 6 and had a wonderful week. Because we booked through Expedia, the resort seemed to place special significance on our reservation — we received Expedia wristbands & door hangers, which made us feel oddly VIP (maybe damage control given mixed reviews, but we felt well cared for). Don’t believe the haters — they truly aim to please. Do the pre-check-in if possible. The app didn’t work for me, and the in-person process is long when you just want to start vacationing. Had a hiccup at check in. Noella came over as we sorted it out and turned things around. She gave us her direct number, checked in frequently, comped us a cabana, and got us into every restaurant as desired. She is truly an angel and made sure a small glitch didn't turn into a big deal. Restaurant food was excellent; buffet was hit or miss but had surprises — especially made-to-order items. Pro tip: bacon is only available by asking the omelet cooks. Dinner at the restaurants is the way to go, every meal our group ordered was delicious. At the time of writing, this is the only resort in the bay, so the beach is not crowded. Kayaks and paddleboards require reservations and they have only 2 of each total. Beach vendors were friendly, conversational, and respectful — never pushy. Lovely people. Love the Tico spirit. Shout out to Emu for having those tequila shots always at the ready! Great resort for day drinkers: fun daytime party vibe, quieter nights. DJs were meh. Pura Vida! "

"Great facility. Has so many pools. "

"I loved my stay at the cc beach front the staff was amazing , attentive , friendly , & made my stay feel like VIP treatment … the food was good & they have iguana all over & swim up pool bars & beautiful sunsets . I particular liked Danny boy & the guy who helps set up the tour guides , and there was this really pretty lady in the kitchen that always greets with a warm smile & a younger lady in the kitchen who was so friendly she reminded info my little sister . The staff was grade A .The only thing I wished is they had phones in the room so you can call the front desk instead of always walking . Oh the master suites are exceptional inside & out . "

"Clean rooms, great staff. Selection of alcohol not So great. Cocktail paper cups not a good experience. "

"Stayed here for 2 nights and I can say it’s the best budget all inclusive hotel in Costa Rica! Location and food was great but there’s not a lot of food options to choose from. They have friendly staff but not the ones in the restaurant. They are just busy talking to each other and doesn’t even want to have an interaction with guests. View was nice! Looks like a painting from afar! Also, don’t forget to hang the DND sign on your door as the hotel staff just go in to your room without knocking and refilling bath towels. "

"Amazing "
