Canas Dulces hotels from HK$311

"I was really disappointed with my stay at this so-call 5 star all-inclusive resort. One of the main reasons I booked was the variety of dining options-they advertise five restaurants, but in reality, only one was open each day/night. That completely defeats the purpose of having multiple restaurants and made the experience feel very limited and repetitive, The swim-up bar, which should have been a highlight, was practically unusable. There were so many bees swarming the area that it felt unsafe to even approach, let alone sit and enjoy a drink. It was frustrating because this is something that should be managed at a resort of this caliber. On top of that, the customer service was extremely poor. Staff seemed uninterested, unhelpful, and at time outright dismissive. Overall, this was far from the luxury experience I expected. Between the limited dining, unsafe pool conditions, and lackluster service, I will never return or recommend this resort to anyone looking for a true 5-star experience!"

"The breakfast menu was good. I liked that cooks were available at multiple stations to prepare omelettes, fresh juices, or desserts. There was enough food at the main breakfast area. I see less waste than at other resorts I've been to."

"Our departure time was before the breakfast service started, so we missed out on that. But they did offer a bag of snacks to get us going. The room was immaculate, but compact. It was a little tight for my husband, daughter and I. But it was very well laid out and an efficient use of the space and furniture. The shuttle service and proximity to the airport make this place make sense for a short term stay."

"Much to love, with some exceptions. The hotel and grounds are very beautiful and very well maintained, with gorgeous views of the ocean, surrounding mountains, and lush foliage. The room was lovely and very clean. One of the best aspects of this resort is the staff! They were consistently warm, friendly, and eager to accommodate any request! It's easy to feel very spoiled by their attentive and engaging presence! Thank you Monica for creating this culture among your wait staff!! You're wonderful! When the main buffet restaurant opens its doors for dinner, the staff are lined up on two sides and applaud the guests as they enter!! Loved it! The food in the main restaurant was extremely diverse, plentiful, and mostly delicious. We did not enjoy the one specialty restaurant we tried - Japanese. We had great massages, enjoyed some shopping, both in the hotel stores and the beach market. Would have enjoyed more entertainment options. There was a fantastic violinist and sax player though, which we enjoyed. While we loved the pools, the beach has dark sand and is not inviting. The waterpark is cute for kids, but limited for adults. We did one waterslide which was quite an unpleasant experience - very hot and claustrophobic inside. I would give this hotel a 4.5 rating if I could. We had a great time, despite the few exceptions mentioned."

"Beautiful and breathtaking property. A mix of jungle and beaches."

"This was one of our favorite places we have ever been. The communication from before arrival, all throughout was so good and made it easy to decide what to do. The Mantu (friend in native dialect) or Butler guides the day and makes it easy to curate your experience on the go. Must do: Sunset drinks at Ambar one night, spa pool (you can access anytime) for sunset, nature tour, snorkeling (the will lend you a snorkel for right off the beach) Every hour they bring round a little bite or juice while your laying by the pool or beach. Also, I didnt realize you could get reservations and they would take you to the other hotels. We loved the steakhouse and Italian at the four seasons and we liked the asian concept at Andaz. The restaurant by the beach at ritz for lunch is amazing too. My only feedback: add beach totes to borrow in the room, clear the room service trays during stay and coffee shop was too expensive - it was oddly more expensive than anything on the property - except the massages - $650 including tip for a 90 min - it was a STELLAR massage but thats extreme imo. if it was 400 something I probably would have gotten a second one. We loved loved loved coming here and cannot wait to come back."

"Le déjeuner inclut est de type buffet et le resto à la carte Jaguar était très ordinaire. Le site est magnifique et les employés très accommodants "

"We were looking for a clean place to stay while venturing out to explore the Guanacaste region including several national parks and many beaches, so this met our needs. The room was clean, air conditioned and had a kitchenette which was a pleasant surprise. If we were looking an all-inclusive resort type of stay, it would have been a colossal failure. The food was cafeteria style, limited and not very good. The one bar that was open didn't have much to offer. The pools were nice, but otherwise there wasn't much to do. There wasn't any entertainment or activities. If you are like us and are looking for a clean place to sleep that is cost efficient this is your place. If you want a resort experience, this is not the place for you."

"The food at the restaurants was not very good for such a well kept property"
