Overlooking Culebra Bay’s spectacular cliffs, this all-inclusive, adults-only complex offers a private beach, 2 freeform swimming pools and a spa. Each stylish room has a balcony with partial views of the bay.

Food: The buffet food was the best on location. Lots of variety and all quite tasty. Prepared fresh! The snack bar was also quite good. It was more like a finger food buffet than a snack bar. I have a lot of seller and was able to find a good amount of options. Room/room location: We had two rooms for our group. Both were very nice and comfortable. Comfortable beds, enough towels, clean, amazing view, requested an extra pillow and received it. Our building was pretty far away from the center and we got in a lot of steps, literally up and down a lot of steps! There is a free shuttle service that we used when we were tired of walking. Explore and find the short cuts, it really helps! I was not prepared for the hilliness of the property-country! So many hills and steps, but it was ok, lots of time to enjoy the views. If you are not able to walk request a handicap room that’s closer. Beach: the beach is at the bottom of the property and is quite lovely! There’s no such thing as private beaches in CR, if you can get to it you can use it. This place is out of the way so there was very little additional traffic on the beach. Do not try to take any shells home, they will find them and take them back! Suggestions in response to complaints I read: try to speak some Spanish, it’s fun and the staff will help you more. Be as respectful and kind as you’d like anyone to be with you. Appreciate the culture and vast beauty of the place, you aren’t at home so it shouldn’t feel like home. Its a beautiful experience! Activities: we used the kayaking opportunities, had a massage on the beach, they made some transportation arrangements for us, we used the pools and pool areas once, we mostly took tours and hung out on the beach. The lobby bar had some board games and was a very classy atmosphere. There was music in the lobby some nights, we really enjoyed the saxophonist!
