Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted by the warm smiles of the staff. The spanish era ambience gave me a relaxing feeling of being in the late 1960s. The front desk staff where very well mannered and very accommodating. What I appreciate most about every staff in this resort is that they do not hesitate in giving suggestions of what I might need, if for example,i would need a crib for my child,or a high hair. It made me feel like they are really there at my service that alone, is worth our money. Sad to say, we did not get to swim at the beach much since it was low tide. I have to mention, the very sumptuous lunch and buffet breakfast we had at the resort. Yes, the food where a bit pricey, but it was worth it. The plating was exceptional ig worthy, the taste was high end. I can tell that they used high grade ingredients. So you know why it is of that price. Nothing is cheap in quality. Kudos to the team in la marina, the manager (or I think he was) was very accommodating, you could see that he was groomed well for the job, the gestures, and posture everything. Despite the resort having a spanish era theme, you get a modern accommodation with their sleek bath tub and all day hot shower just turn the knob left! Flat screen tv with no interruption. Own hair blower and a lot of sockets to charge our gadgets. I could spend the whole day just snuggling on the bed, I was so tempted to ask where they got their comforters because they where the best I have ever snuggled in. I feel like I cheated costabella, we paid around 4k but we where upgraded for free to a deluxe room and got the best service and food. It was worth more than the money. Thank you for giving us a splendid experience on our wedding anniversary costabella! Ps. The billiard needs an upgrade though haha. We love billiards.
