Villas in Cantón Nandayure

"Construction was a bit annoying"

"The property is in a great location, very close to the beach ( a short walk down a pathway), excellent staff, and fabulous breakfast that was included in the price for our room. We had a two queen bed room on the second floor with high vaulted ceilings and a beautiful balcony looking out into the forest. The staff was absolutely fabulous. we definitely would love to return for another stay."

"Habitación super limpia y el hotel en general, buen desayuno"

"The property, which is in a natural preserve, needs better upkeep. The rooms are dated and our bathroom had lots of mold, which is totally unacceptable. Also, the rooms are spread all around the property through trails and you go up and down the mountain to reach them. This, in the suffocating heat and humidity, is exhausting. There is no A/C anywhere in the property except the bedrooms. The restaurant is ok, but again: no A/C, limited options. The one shining pearl in all this was the SPA. I had a relaxing massage with Fanny, which was fantastic."

"Had an amazing time! Beautiful views, delicious inventive food at the on-site restaurant, and outstanding cocktails (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). The staff are very kind & seem to all make sure to know you by name. As others said the included laundry service is a really nice feature, daily cleaned clothes for yoga and beach means less extra clothing to pack or dirty laundry to travel with. Morning yoga classes were wonderful. Their shuttle drops you at their sister property serving same food from the main site & leaves a short <10 minute walk to the beach, and short walk to some shops and restaurants. Bugs are around as this is the jungle but nothing unmanageable, and good quality bug repellent cream resulted in getting barely any bites (sallyeander no bite me). The room has a bug repellent spray also. The morning cleaning leaves the room sparkling and fresh when you return from breakfast. Saw and heard a lot of cool animals- monkeys, frogs, large and small birds, etc. Can’t say enough good things about staying here."

"Nice place. Nice people. Kitchen has mixer, blender, coffee machine, toaster but no microwave? Weird. "

"The breakfast was amazing and the staff were very nice. Very well kept and taken care of. The staff was always cleaning the property every morning and night."

"This hotel was family-friendly and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We were able to book excursions through the hotel and spa services as well. There is an aviary on site with macaws, peacocks and other birds. The is a stable on site as well. We were able to go horseback riding on the beach. There are three restaurant choices in addition to the buffet and snack bar. Reservations need to be made a day in advance in order to have dinner at the steakhouse, sushi restaurant, and Italian restaurant. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there although it is quite far from the San Jose airport. It is a two hour drive on the toll road, one hour on the ferry and another 20-30 minutes to the resort. If you don’t mind the traveling, you should book there."

"Excellent location. Beautiful grounds and pools. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Service and food were excellent. It's a fantastic value for the price. I highly recommend this resort. I will go back there."
