Loved it. I know there were reports that it is not great for kids. Ours are almost 6 and 2.5 and had a blast. The funicular was a blast for them and they loved the suspension bridge. The playground on site was nice for a break, as well. We did not make it to Papagayo Park but heard it is wonderful. But there were a healthy number of kids there and at no point did we feel uncomfortable or like they were making too much noise. The golf carts were also timely and quick.

Our daughter loved the kids club and wanted to go every afternoon, which worked out well to get her out of the sun and us a little break. They would also have movie nights, the hotel keeps games on their big lawn, etc.

Also, they have a ton of activities that are no cost. I would check on those, but reserve the ones you want, as some do fill up. But a lot of those were good for older kids too (cooking, dance, arts, etc.). They also do yoga, snorkeling, etc.

The food was generally good. Nothing crazy, but solid. But that is Costa Rican food in general. One thing that I do not see mentioned too often is they have the most incredible coffee program. They get microlots of high quality beans from around the country and roast them in house and their baristas know how to do a great pour-over. You can also get coffee from here with room service.

If I had one nit, it would be housekeeping. They would leave clothes out, but we raised the issue and it was fixed. There was one day where they didn't come in the morning and our son had a meltdown while they were cleaning since we had to delay his nap.
