Went during off season. Limited guests so plenty of space. Downside was they rotated restaurants that were open.
Food options were decent. Good drinks. Staff were kind and friendly. Super positive is the all inclusive included a laundry service.
Two negatives were the distance from town, and when we showed up to kids club nobody was there.

They required the reservation to be done by email but never actually completed the reservation. We showed up with no reservation although they did find us a room. There's nothing to do here. The restaurants are not good and not all are even open. Seriously, that was some of the worst food with thr exception of breakfast. Construction makes it noisy, and they did loud landscaping outside my room before 7 am.

So glad we did the all inclusive package! Meals were very expensive and we got to eat whatever we wanted! This is a very peaceful hotel, not too busy in August. Wonderful time laying by the pool, using the mostly empty gym, looking at the immaculate landscaping, watching iguanas walk by, and listening to the waves on the beach. An excellent stay!

The experience overall was excellent, the food drink, ambiance, activities and property on point! Bit disappointed that we requested room of daughters near or on same floor with us over 1 month prior to trip and it didn’t happen as no one had added the note to our reservation even though I directly (won’t add names) asked reservations, concierge and a front desk person way before our arrival, we ended up on 2 different floors :(
On a side note, the housekeeping was outstanding, I requested to meet that staff member as prepared a thank you note/tip to hand over to Majorie whom I had never met but went the extra mile every day with housekeeping, thanks!! Also way to go housekeeping, our room was ready at check in another plus on their column!! :)
Travelzoo thanks for making this experience happen!

We spotted some spider monkeys sitting in the trees only 100 feet outside the entrance to the hotel. The side trips that are available are also fantastic. We went on a catamaran tour and saw some leopard rays, dolphins, and sea turtles. We also took a tour to see the Rio Celeste waterfall, experience a coffee and cacao plantation, and saw some sloths.

We loved our stay here and plan a future return with more family members. Currently my Room Coordinator Mrs. Rice and her family are staying at your resort. I will continue to recommend this resort to family and friends but I will also tell them to avoid buying chocolate from the gift shop. I purchased two bars to give as gifts and when opened both bars were very old and faded looking. We were afraid to eat it. I sent a picture and email twice to the email for reservations and they did not reply to my question regarding the chocolate. I was very disappointed. That was the only negative experience I had.

The resort is perfect if you want an off-the-grid, no-worries, relaxing beach getaway. The sunsets are amazing, the beach is beautiful and the all-inclusive aspect of the Member Days offer was clutch.
The buffet breakfast was excellent, with an abundance of fresh fruit, smoothies on order, an omelet station, fresh corn tortillas for breakfast tacos and yummy Costa Rican coffee. The lunch options were good -- we typically ordered from the pool bar. Definitely loved the fresh fruit, the chicken sandwich, fish tacos and BLT. The Green Monster was the best of the frozen drinks.
We also made sure to stop by the gelato place daily for a frozen treat. My favorite was the oreo gelato.
There were 5 options for dinner, we tried 3 of them. The Italian spot was solid Italian, we enjoyed the Asian fusion restaurant, with sushi and noodle dishes. The steakhouse was not included and was not our favorite. If room service is included in the offer, take advantage of it!
If you are going there to try to do a lot of the typically Costa Rican activities like ziplining, river rafting, cloud forest, jungle safaris, waterfall hikes, sloth or monkey hikes -- this hotel is a little too far removed from a lot of that. Depends how much of your vacation you want to spend driving around Costa Rica. Maybe use this as the beach part of your vacation and stay somewhere closer to Arenal/La Fortuna/Montverde/Manuel Antonio if you want to do the jungle/hot springs/volcano stuff.
A few tips ...
1. Don't miss the sunset. Plan your day around it. Because you're closer to the equator, it is earlier in the day than you think.
2. Post up at the pool early in the morning, enjoy it from 8 until about 11. Take a break from the heat of the sun and come back out around 3 or 4 pm for an afternoon swim and sunset cocktails.
3. Take the bike tour around the property. You can also use the bikes to go play golf or pickleball on property.
4. Make reservations at the restaurants when you get there. Take the 7 pm slot so you don't miss the sunsets.
5. The half-day zipline tour to Congo Trail was worth it.
Enjoy! It was a great vacation!

With the all inclusive travelzoo deal, staying at this hotel was a value. Otherwise, meals for my family of 7 (5 adults and 2 children) would have been astronomical ($560 for lunch and drinks at Azul). But, our stay there was lovely. Beautiful setting, good service, good food. It was magical!

This is a wonderful hidden gem. The staff have genuine smiles on their faces and are so friendly! The pools are beautiful and located so close to the beach. When you go out of the resort and head left on the beach, you can walk down to a cute little surfing school. There is lots of beautiful shells to find. Azul restaurant has a beautiful view of the ocean and delicious seafood, especially the Seabass fillet and the seafood pasta. The breakfast is amazing with the greatest smoothie maker on earth as well as a wonderful omelette lady. Ask for the iced latte when you’re there.The little ice cream shop is heavenly and the drinks are very tasty. We dined at three out of four of the restaurants and were very pleased as well.

And 5 days into our stay they debuted new menus with prices 20 to 50 percent higher than the day before. this was an unwelcome event and left us a little unhappy.

Overall a pleasant stay, but not without flaws.
The resort made a good impression, though it feels slightly tired in places. We booked an ocean view room, which was spacious and delivered on the promised view. Everything was clean, and the staff was friendly—though at times a bit forgetful, so a gentle reminder might be needed here and there.
The location is quite remote. It's about an hour and a half drive from Liberia Airport, with the last two miles on a very bumpy, unpaved road—which seems unacceptable given the resort’s price point.
Keep in mind that the Guanacaste region is drier than other parts of Costa Rica, with less jungle and wildlife.
Overall, not the best value for the money. At a regular rate of $1,000 per night, you’d expect service and amenities on par with a Four Seasons—but this fell short.
