Costa Rica Eco-friendly Holidays

It was OK, but not what we expected. I didn’t realize that for every activity we had to get to our car and drive to it - very little that you could walk to from the main hotel.

The pools were beautiful and weren’t crowded. It is a beautiful setting with the beach and islands and mountains. The spa was very dated and the jacuzzi should be a hard pass. We had massages that were expensive but good. The diamonte ziplining close by was excellent. The monkeys near the monkey bar were a hit. The food at this resort is mediocre and 4 of 5 of us got a terrible food poisoning. We met others who had also been sick. Also not sure the reason you pay more at the palace when the resort next door is beautiful and newly renovated (albeit more crowded). Same food at both. Beautiful weather. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. We were a party of 5 with 2 rooms and they put us with a room separating our 2 ( I asked for side by side and they would not accommodate). We ended up with a very loud group in the middle room.

The property was very nice and elegant. Pools were great. The food were amazing. The only problem we had was transportation to the property and activities were very costly
