If you can get beyond the bad roads there and the reception desk, you will have a good time.The people at the reception desk are cold and not very helpful.The rest of the staff are great.The food was one of the best we've had at resorts.I had seen previous reviews and many had said the food was just ok.They must have changed the menu since those people were there.The grounds of the resort are very nice and the hotel it self is too.Rooms had some electrical problems......we would blow a fuse when the air was on and we used a blow dryer.The beach is beautiful.Nothing to do outside of the resort though.The town of Tamrindo has nothing to offer.You can go on the day trips, but they kill a whole day most of the time.Glad we went....it was a good experience.Do'nt eat or drink food outside of the resort.On our way home I let my guard down and 2 of my kids eat chicken sandwiches at the airport and got severly ill after we came home.Water and food were not a problem at the resort it self.Go, be careful, and you will have a good time.

The staff, grounds, and rooms of this resort are very good. The beach by the hotel was good, but a little rocky. The food... was a disaster. We took nearly all of our meals during our five night stay at the resort. There were only two dishes that we would consider ordering again. To make matters worse... the prices of the dishes are ridiculous - even for a resort in a remote area. The steak at Sabanero is good, and the drinks throughout the resort are made with fresh ingredients (though extremely watered down). In short, I will be returning to the area.. but not with this resort. If you like a nice pool and grounds, this is a great spot. However... You'll spend a lot of time traveling to/from Tamarindo (25 minutes each way) to get a decent meal.
