We had total privacy, a wonderful plunge pool and a view across the trees and valley to the Pacific, sunsets and Uvitas whale's tail, a huge sand bar that appears and disappears with the tide. The food was very good, but not excellent. It is luxurious and everyone tries really, really hard to please guests. Toucans and other birds stopped by our patio, 10 feet away. We enjoyed our stay very much.

My fiancé and I enjoyed a relaxing week at this hotel. It's very close to town and they have great recommendations for activities around the area or a little outside the town of Uvita. The staff was absolutely fantastic! Paolo went out of his way to make our experience memorable and made us feel right at home. Definitely staying here on our next visit!

Amazing beautiful room and views. Things missing that should be basic at any luxury hotel: no black out curtains so I was up at 5:50 every morning because of the bright sun (& no one wants to get up that early every day while on vacation). No luggage rack, no full length mirror, no tissues or Q-tips. No doormat in front of the room which meant we tracked mud into the room every day. No dimmers on the lights and no lamps so it’s a choice beteeen bright and complete darkness. I could go on but I think there enough.

Amazing views!!! The staff was so helpful and nice. It was a little scary navigating up to the villa but manageable. Definitely rent a 4x4 vehicle. If you are looking for a peaceful vacation, this is the place for you. Pura vida!

OMG the pictures don’t do it justice! Sooooo beautiful. The staff is SO accommodating. Very clean but remember you are in the middle of the jungle so there are bugs and insects. The food is delicious. You will absolutely need a 4x4 to get there. No complaints. Would def stay again

FIRST TIP: Make sure you have a 4x4 truck, the mountain incline decline is very steep. Outside of that my stay here was outstanding. I just got back from celebrating my birthday and the staff as well as the owner was very kind, very welcoming. They stayed up all night and giving us directions and leading us up the mountain until we got there and I truly appreciate that. And then on my birthday they made a cake and sing Happy Birthday it was very sweet. The cleaning staff does an amazing job keeping the rooms clean. Once we left and came back to our rooms it was spotless smelled amazing and they kept the pools clean as well. The chef did his thing every night and the food was very delicious. Thank you for showing me a great time while there. The views were fantastic.

Our stay at the golden pineapple was wonderful. My husband and I love to travel to new countries and hotels. This was by far the best place we have ever stayed. The drive up to the hotel does require a 4x4 vehicle. However, we did not view this as a negative. Nothing amazing comes easy! The views were spectacular and actually enticed to want to stay at the resort which says a lot as we typically prefer to leave each day. The food was great. And service was even better! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The previous negative reviews have unrealistic expectations or blame this property for things out of their control. I would definitely come back again and encourage anyone to stay here when visiting CR. So much to do nearby! Thank you Jessie for a wonderful experience.

Beautiful property. Villas are private and very well appointed. My only suggestion is to stock up on groceries so you can make your own meals if you want to. The kitchens have everything you need to do so. Amazing property and amazing staff!

The stay was fantastic, the food was fresh and delicious. The view absolutely gorgeous. The privacy of our villa was the perfect experience. The service was on point. Definitely a highlight in our trip. The only negative I can say was the drive to the villas. The roads are unpaved for about 15min. Very bumpy and steep roads. Highly dont recommend arriving there at night. Other than that, it was amazing !

This place was magical. The drive up the mountain was an adventure. Place is safe and guarded my security. The villas are beautiful and clean. It was breathtaking. The staff so nice and quick with all their services. The room was cleaned everyday and smelled so good. The restaurant was so convenient to have right next to us. We could eat at the restaurant or order our food to eat in our villa which was great on the days we were very tired from excursions. It was better than I could imagine.

Wow. Just wow. First up - Leo was our host and was awesome. Great work Leo! All the staff was great. I'm tired of booking hotels that look good in the pictures then turn out to be disappointing. Golden Pineapple goes the other way. It's breathtaking. Everything here is top notch. I won't repeat everyone else, the rooms are amazing. Outdoor showers, tub and personal pool - brilliant. You can sit outside, (naked if you want!), in your own suite surrounded by jungle mountainside watching CR birds and animals around you. I was worried about the restaurant prices being too high. They are not - in my opinion they match most other table restaurants or even lower than most other 4-5 star hotel restaurants, in my experience. And the food is excellent - a little more rich than fresh, but still quite pleasing. This hotel is on a mountain and the road to access it is too. Don't be a hero. You're not getting up here with a 2wd car. If the rentals are all out of 4wd then you're paying for the taxi. This is the only downside of being here, the taxis are now charging $25 USD per trip from the nearby town. (Feb 2024). That adds up if you want to go out a lot. But honestly, book this hotel just to stay in the beautiful room and relax!
