8.4/10 Very Good! (63 reviews)
Something I don't think is clear enough, The rooms are inside a restaurant. We stayed in one of the two rooms inside the building (it looks like there were additional tents on the property). The staff were friendly and helpful, we were provided our welcome drink upon arrival and able to check in early. While the room itself is well decorated and curated, it had a mini fridge and coffee maker, AC and a hanging space for your clothes. There was also no hand towel or floor towel provided for the bathroom and shower, there were no coffee mugs provided for the coffee maker, there was poop out on the netting, the curtains fell out of the wall when we went to close them, half the holes in the shower head just didn't have water. Over all it was clean enough, however the netting (part of the desire to book) was connected to the other rooms netting, as there was a small walkway between the rooms where you could access the netting from the restaurant, making the giant wall of windows slightly less appealling as anyone could walk onto the netting and if you were out there it would not be hard to see into the room beside us and vice versa. The restaurant was pricey compared to some of the other dinner places so we only ate breakfast there which was included. Breakfast portions were smaller compared to everywhere else we had eaten but good, you only have the drink option of drop coffee and its a set menu. Parking got tricky at night as there was only room for maybe 4 or 5 cars.

Our waiter Alejandro was great, he made our stay there fantastic. He should be the manager there, he took care of us when the manager never show her face to deal our complaints.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (324 reviews)
My family stayed at Alma Del Pacífico for four nights during the “rainy season” after driving from our stay in La Fortuna. We didn’t mind the late day rain at all. We were able to get all the daily activities in before it started. The beach is as everyone has described, flat and walkable. We were able to swim with the waves, even our seven year old. Perfect for surfing, and our oldest took the opportunity with Brett’s Boards. There are more sand dollars than we have ever seen! Breakfast options were filling, and everyone was so nice! Our room faced the ocean with a small wading pool. Each villa has its own outdoor privacy wall with small garden area. Seriously perfect and exactly what we envisioned with no crowds. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

Simply amazing
"An INCREDIBLE time at Canavida. The area is stunning. The team that runs the resort is fabulous. We stayed at Casa Oropendola. The view of the Pacific was INCREDIBLE. As was the wildlife. The whale tail beach (and national park) is just down the hill and it's amazing. Playa Hermosa is also great ..."
