"The property was nestled in the Costa Rican jungle directly adjacent to the beach."
"This hotel is situated right in the rainforest, bordering the Caribbean Sea and next to almond trees."
"With the new management the experience is very much improved, our room was beautiful with updated bathrooms, electrical system and decor."
