My check-in experience wasn’t the best, my room was not ready and I had to wait almost 2 hours with my kids after we’ve been traveling all day for the room to be ready. We were escorted to the pool area to wait there. We were not even offered water while we waited, I had to keep asking people if they knew when my room would be ready because I wasn’t getting any updates related to my room. My my room was OK and it had an amazing view, I do not like area rugs in rooms. The area rug that was under our beds was dirty and stained. I could tell nobody had vacuumed it. there were hairs in the sink that were not ours housekeeping came around every day, but did the bare minimum I asked for the floor we clean one day after our day because there was sand everywhere from us going to the beach and they would just keep fixing our bed and emptying the trash, but not cleaning the floors. Besides that staff was amazing, everyone was really nice. Julio went out of his way to make us feel welcome and comfortable since day one and throughout our stay the food was very, very good. The only thing I didn’t like was when I went to have dinner or tried to have dinner at Tico Tica, they asked me if I had a reservation, which I did not have yet there were multiple tables empty and they wanted me to wait an hour. That was a downer. I also had a massage done and it was amazing. Overall, I don’t know if I wouldn’t necessarily stay in this hotel again. It was just an ok experience.

Beautiful property and room! The pools are plentiful and never felt crowded—we saw a monkey! Treat yourself to an evening sunset by the lobby bar—breathtaking! The beach is ona beautiful cove. My kids enjoyed the rocky areas for “tidepooling” for hermit crabs, fish, etc. There is a nice reef right off the beach where daily snorkeling activities are available. We saw a puffer fish, some colorful tropical fish and a spotted ray. Note the beach is public, but the locals are friendly and not loud. There are no loungers down close to the ocean (a little higher up on the sand close to the property, but not many people sat there). It was a tad of an annoyance to see 9 jet skis in the cove almost everyday. They are for rental. My family did enjoy them one day, however, 2 or three would suffice. 9 surely took away from the tropical island feel and I looked forward to each evening when they disappeared. The room was luxurious and had everything you needed. We did purchase a 2 queens room with a small plunge pool—in hindsight sight we did not use it much and we noticed these pools were only on the first floors (preventing a better view). It did seem like there were only a few larger suites with a corner pool on the upper floors of buildings). The dining was pretty good. The breakfast spread at TicoTica was great and unexpected. We enjoyed Peacock Alley to watch the World Cup USA game—a great vibe. Kids enjoyed the pool with the slide and the teen room was cool. Pura Vida!

Alejandro and Yucsan are the reason I would return to this Waldorf property. Extremely helpful and clearly passionate about their jobs. I’m self employed so I know first hand how difficult it is to find staff of this caliber. Wonderful experience thanks to truly wonderful people.

We have just finished a week's vacation at the hotel. It should be noted that the property is very beautiful, with an amazing view of the sea, but there are a few minuses that are important to note. The hotel is built of several parts on different levels and it is very inconvenient to walk from the rooms to the pool and restaurants. Yes, there is a golf cart shuttle service, but you have to call to reserve. We were there during a period when the weather was very hot, very humid, in the restaurant that functions as a dining room, the air conditioning is almost not noticeable, so it is unpleasant to eat there, the kitchen is not run efficiently, the dishes are delayed much longer than normal. Although the hotel is very, very expensive, the spa is not included in the price, using the sauna costs a hundred dollars per person per day, simply outrageous. There are no umbrellas in the pools and it is difficult to avoid the strong sun.

Great location! But apart from the location, the experience of the hotel doesn’t match the premium price it charges. We don’t recommend it and won’t go back.
