What a gem! You all find the best hideaways. Looks perfect since you can choose to be alone or party the night away. Costa Rica looks like my perfect vacation!
Hi there! I actually do not believe there is a Dreams property in the nearby area. I think the closest one in Guanacaste is still over a 1 hour drive so I do not think there is any mutual access or anything!
@StNickTravels I have a couple questions 1. Are there crocodiles on the beaches 2. Do you recommend checking for snakes in the restroom of the resort 3. How safe are the jungle excursions ( as far as poisonous reptiles, spiders, bugs, Jaguars etc.) Just trying to get a heads up for myself and the group I'll be vacationing with.
It is completely safe! No crocodiles on the beaches and no need to check for snakes in your room. You will occasionally see bugs or spiders deep in the jungle but unlikely to see any reptiles and definitely no jaguars!
The rooms themselves are just one story but some rooms do have a hill or some stairs to get to them. I feel certain that the staff would accommodate you if you asked them for a room that is more central and in a flat area!
Great video! Thank you for the in-depth video :) We are deciding between this resort and the planet Hollywood across the bay! Question, I’ve noticed in a few videos I’ve watched, no one is ever in the ocean/bay. Do you know if there a reason for this? Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much! In regard to the beach, we did see people in it throughout our stay, mostly on kayaks or paddle boards. They just have a few loungers on the beach which we used but they have great views of the water from just above the beach so there were many more setup there. I think because it is a black sand beach, it maybe isn't as clear as some places, but the water was a nice temperature and very calm since it is tucked away. We found the beach to be quite unique!
@@StNickTravels thank you so much for responding!! We love going into the ocean so just wanted to make sure that it was ok to swim in!! I really appreciate the response 💗☺️ safe travels!
This was just an Ocean View but we think they gave us the best room in that category so there weren't any other rooms between us. The way the property is setup though, it seems like a majority of rooms have nice views and feel isolated (in a good way) among the environment. We visited in mid-October of 2022!
@@JourneysOFAprilRain Room 104! No noise issue at all from the theater. The theater was pretty isolated itself so I'm not sure if any room would have a problem with that.
Yes, very similar! USD are widely accepted in Costa Rica and I think that is what we/everyone used throughout the resort. Enjoy the adventure and let us know if you have any other questions!
Great video ! I’m looking to go here in July . For room selection , I see there are a few rooms listed under the preferred club . Which room did you all stay in ? Was it the bungalow suite ocean view or possibly ocean front view ?
Wonderful, I'm sure you'll love it! We booked the more basic room and were upgraded so I am not 100% sure but I would guess it was the ocean front because there were no rooms between us and the ocean! I really think any of their ocean view rooms would be great though as the property does a great job of sectioning off the rooms to create a private feeling. Enjoy your trip!
We are not really sure why we were upgraded so perhaps just lucky and it was low season. If you definitely want to be in a preferred / club room, you should be able to pay for it as an upgraded room class to guarantee it. Have a great trip!
Hi there! You are going to have such an amazing time! We were there in October which is considered the rainy season. I think we had two days where we had some rain but it usually moved in and left quick. Otherwise it was quite sunny! I think December would be lovely! We booked the standard room but I believe we received an upgrade to an ocean front because we had unobstructed views of the ocean. Let us know if you have any other questions and enjoy!

Hi. Did you have access to Dreams resort next door?
Hi there! I actually do not believe there is a Dreams property in the nearby area. I think the closest one in Guanacaste is still over a 1 hour drive so I do not think there is any mutual access or anything!
Great video… lot of good info!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Costa Rica looks so nice! Great place, thanks for the vid!
We are headed here in August for our 25th anniversary. Looks like you had a blast. Thank you for the video.
Hi, was there a lot of mosquitoes? did you have to wear bug spray?
No issues with mosquitos! We definitely didn't bring any but spray and don't remember needing it.
We're going in March 2024 with 6 other couples.. I can't wait looks like so much fun
Yes you will absolutely have an amazing time! Thanks for the support!!

Going in 3 days solo
@@lady2luuvly safe travels.. we're about 50 days out. We're currently booking our group excursions. My wife is extremely excited
I have a question about the rooms. Are they 2 or 3 stories where you have to climb stairs to get to your room. We have mobility issues.
The rooms themselves are just one story but some rooms do have a hill or some stairs to get to them. I feel certain that the staff would accommodate you if you asked them for a room that is more central and in a flat area!

Question- What room category did you have Bungalow Ocean Front or Oceanview. Also what is the month that you visited?

@@StNickTravels thank you. Do you remember what the room number was and if it was loud at night being near the theater?
@@JourneysOFAprilRain Room 104! No noise issue at all from the theater. The theater was pretty isolated itself so I'm not sure if any room would have a problem with that.
Great video!! question, so the all inclusive means you can eat at any of the locations including drinks / bar and room service?lol
Since it rains so much, are the pools heated?
I don't believe they are but with the humidity and sun it was plenty warm! We got in the pool even in the evenings.
Thanks for the vid. Is tipping similar to mexico? USD ?
Yes, very similar! USD are widely accepted in Costa Rica and I think that is what we/everyone used throughout the resort.

@@StNickTravels thank you for the info !
my wife and I did that same hike and didn't realize just how out of shape we were! more of a rock climb than a hike
Yes it's like a scramble all the way to the top! Great views though!!!
Where is your video on the hot springs?
Yes it starts at 4:50 in this video! ua-cam.com/video/gPqy_0xrEJU/v-deo.html
How do you upgrade and become part of the preferred group?
We are not really sure why we were upgraded so perhaps just lucky and it was low season. If you definitely want to be in a preferred / club room, you should be able to pay for it as an upgraded room class to guarantee it.
Have a great trip!
Great review! We are looking to December, is that when you were there? Wondering how rainy it was. Thanks.
Is this the preferred ocean front room?

did you see much wildlife near the resort, monkeys, etc?
No monkeys but we did see some coatis!! The environment is really well blended with the resort.
Lol i am in that exact same bedroom, right now!
Haha what a coincidence! Are you enjoying your stay?
