Incredibly luxurious resort in the middle of the rain forest. I can't think of a bad thing to say about it, from attentive and wonderfully trained staff to a kitchen continuously serving interesting cuisine incorporating local produce. The rooms are capacious, well maintained and up to date. The infinity pool is right at the edge of your sun chair, a delightful way to cool off from the blazing sun, and it is indeed blazing. You are surrounded by animals and foliage - monkeys, Toucans, birds of all kinds - reflecting Costa Rica's broad biodiversity. I do think one needs to be aware of the hotel's setting: By car from San Jose, it is a good 4-4.5 hour drive from the airport. It is reached by a long, winding and quite rough 1.5 mile dirt and rock path, turning off from the main highway. culminating in a couple of what appear to be 50% grade switchbacks. Trying to reach it by conventional AWD vehicles is unrealistic. If you aren't comfortable navigating a leased 4X4, rely on the hotel's shuttle service to bring you there, but be aware, it's a long 4.5 hours drive in the shuttle. (There are options to fly San Jose to the local airport, but you'll still need a cab or shuttle for the final 1-1.5 hours to the hotel, and at little if any cost savings.) Conversely, traveling off site to a zip line, a local restaurant or the national park entails a cab ride, which can run from $40 USD upwards each way just to reach the destination. All in all, beautiful, relaxing and professionally maintained at a high level, but quite isolated for an extended stay. (Ideal for a 2-3 night stopover en route to Panama or Corcovado.) That worked well for us - we weren't looking to sight see - but first determine if it works for you
