El Achiote Vacation Packages

All the cons: The concierge mentioned that the shuttle that takes you from point A to point B within the hotel grounds makes its rounds every 15 minutes, which is not true. My boyfriend and I waited almost twenty minutes for it and still no sign of the driver. We ended up walking up the hills just to get breakfast. Don’t get me wrong it was a good workout but when it’s in the middle of the day where it’s hot and humid and in flip flops, that was not ideal. Also the food selections at the one restaurant by the pool was subpar. We ended up eating our lunches and dinners outside of the hotel at the few restaurants nearby. You can’t go wrong with breakfast so we just had their fruit and eggs offered there. The options for drinks at the bars were not great. They only had one beer and bland cocktails. As far as the room, it was also not all that pleasant. The AC wouldn’t turn off so it was freezing cold anytime you’re in the room. The bed was as hard as a rock. There was a coffee machine and two mugs but no coffee available. The bathroom had a shower with mold growing on the bottom. There was no shower door which caused the water to spill out every time we took a shower, which left the whole bathroom floor wet. Who wants to walk on a wet floor? Lastly, there were only two towel cards offered per room. When you’re going to the pool or the beach everyday, you’re gonna need more towels! So we ended up reusing sandy towels for multiple days. Overall, would not recommend staying there.

Staff was amazing and the room was excellent.

Fantastic room, best pool suite ever.

This place gets everything right! The grounds, the rooms, the food, the staff and even the tours. We loved it and didn’t want to leave.

Restaurants are always packed . Not for reservations but impossible to eat.

If you want ultimate rainforest luxury and top level service you should stay here. Not to be missed. Raft in and out via the Pacuare river and be completely enveloped by the forest and river in the middle of nowhere while having high level meals breakfast, lunch and dinner, incredible adventure programs like zip lining through the canopy and repelling down little waterfall. Seriously. 1000% The food was top tier. The service was thoughtful and personal. The staff is amazing. And they have great wifi. In the middle of nowhere. Deep jungle. The rafting is world class. I had a Linda vista villa and it was an absurd amount of space and privacy with a personal plunge pool. Come back from dinner and your lights are on, fan going and curtains drawn. Seriously, stay here. I'm coming back again someday.

It was the most peaceful and serene place in this side of the costa rican pacific, the staff was amazing, the food was super healthy and delicious , the entire place is just magical. The beach is super clean and literally yours only. I would come back every time I’m in Costa Rica.
