This visually arresting hotel and resort complex is consistently shortlisted among Costa Rica's finest upscale hotels. The earthy, luxury rooms with large rain showers have been designed to incorporate the beauty of the natural landscape and to great effect, especially when you’re staring down the coastline from the lofty balcony of your sumptuous digs. The top-tier accommodations feature ocean-view Jacuzzis.
The golf car service whizzes guests around the property and to a 'private' beach (only accessible to the public when the tide is out). A dreamy pool overlooks the ocean. Boons include roaming wildlife, and nature-spotters can enjoy the property's short 10-minute trail into the surrounding jungle. Expertly prepared dishes and seafood can be sampled at the large tiki-thatched Mirador restaurant, also with great views and an inviting pool. Happy hour at the bar runs 5:30pm to 7pm, with US$6 cocktails and vino.
