10/10 Exceptional

Amazing location and incredible value for money. We stayed in the Tabacon Spa before this place and considering you could stay here for circa 6 nights for the price of the spa, this is incredible value. AC worked great, daily room clean ensure a very clean facility inside and out, and very helpful and pleasant staff. We booked the couples massage also via the hotel menu and they come to your own chalet and both people were expert and very charming, it was another highlight and again good value at circa 50% of the price you pay at the spas or back in North America. Highly recommended place for couples and families.

For the price point during peak season, our bungalow with its own jacuzzi all surrounded by amazing flora and situated at a fair distance from other nearby bungalows, with its own on-prem cute bar, located on a relatively quiet street, about 5 minutes by car from La Fortuna waterfall, was excellent.
