Resorts in Herradura

Dining was typical for an all inclusive. However, our experience at other all inclusives has been that there is more than one restaurant to choose from Other than buffet

The staff were super friendly and helpful, room was much bigger than expected, very clean, great pool, great service

clean hotel, very nice area and gardens

The location

Amazing location in the middle of their own little bit of jungle as you'd expect from the name. A big river runs through the property and gives plenty of scenic shots for a keen photographer. I stayed in a premium room over in the Santa Maria 'village' bit. It's separate from the main hotel, nice and quiet and very pretty, with ranch style rooms centred around a pretty garden with bandstand. It's only a two minute walk from the restaurant etc. Nice big airy room, spotlessly clean. Huge bathroom. Massive TV. Lovely towels and bedding. Good AC. I went for all inclusive at the last minute which is just as well as torrential rain hit for three days and the main roads were closed due to flooding! All the local reserves were closed (Carara is a few minutes away) so I had to stay out. Plenty of food, drinks, snacks to keep me going. And the open reception areas and cafe were great to sit and read, edit photos etc while the rain pelted down. Some lovely wildlife did appear just as I was leaving and the sun came out, and families were in the pool. Really friendly staff, especially Daniela who helped me sort a few trip problems. A lovely place and highly recommended - I was just really unlucky with the weather.
