My family loved the salt water pool! The night sky was amazing as well. Haven't seen that many shooting star so clear in the night for a while. If not for our schedule we would have stayed longer. I am a minimalist so I have no complaints. Basics are covered, I am happy. We went there for a time to feel isolated and away from it all, and we got what we came for. You will encounter wildlife (hey it's Costa Rica!). Be prepared. It's part of the charm of this beautiful tropical paradise.
