Our experience

PRO
Complete change of scenery. With exotic flowers, lush vegetation, vibrant birds, and the distant calls of howler monkeys, this is the ultimate tropical experience!
• The resort strikes the perfect balance between family-friendly and adult-only options, giving you and your guests the chance to celebrate your special day with the kids while also enjoying some much-needed alone time.
• For your more adventurous guests, the hotel offers daily bike tours to El Jobo town, delivering an authentic Costa Rican experience. Additional jungle activities (at an extra cost) include zip-lining, white-water rafting, and canopy tours!

CONS
• It can take up to one hour and a half to get to the resort from Daniel Obuder Quiros International Airport. Something to keep in mind!
• The beach is very short – not ideal if you are looking for long romantic walks on the beach. Also, the sand being dark it may stain the wedding dress at the bottom!
• Lack of privacy in the venues option.

Rooms & Sections

→ Most of the rooms and privileged suites offer breathtaking jungle and ocean views that are sure to leave your guests in awe.

→ Keep in mind that the layout features an open floor plan design, with a curtain that can be pulled between the bathroom and bedroom areas. It not provide complete privacy if you’re traveling with a friend or someone you’re not closely acquainted with.

Beach

The beach features dark sand and deep waters, creating a setting straight out of a James Bond movie on a tropical island. It’s a magical spot to say “I do,” with stunning sunsets that will provide the perfect backdrop for your wedding photos.
