We stayed at Los Altos de Eros for our honeymoon and overall had a very nice relaxing time. I'll just highlight a few impressions and suggestions that we would have liked to know, as the other reviews have already commented on the excellent service of this resort.

Rooms- we stayed in a king-size room with a "private patio." The patio is not actually private, which was disappointing to us since we had planned to make use of it. Compared to the Eros Suite, the king size room is tiny, but clean and adequate. For $100 more a night you get 3 times more space, a tub, television and a private balcony. When I saw how much more space and privacy another couple had, we felt the price we were paying for the king room was too high. There should be more of a difference. I caught a glimpse of the queen room, which looked more like a full-size bed. I can't imagine two people staying there comfortably.
This is a tropical location, so the room did have a musty smell. The king size bed is really 2-twins put together and the mattress is very firm. There is air-conditioning, which the staff turns on for you with their turn down service. There is not a lot of space for clothes, but the staff will do your laundry every day, so in hind sight I would have packed lighter.

Bathrooms- The outdoor shower was fun, but one night it was a bit cold and there were a lot of bugs and frogs sharing the shower. It would be nice to have an indoor shower option. The toiletries are decent, but are not luxurious at all- very runny.

Bugs- there are many of them, including mosquitoes.

Meals- The first few days we were very impressed with the food. However, we soon started to skip the exact same salad and salad dressing served every day. Every dessert came with vanilla ice cream, which was nice, but after a few days, you don't want to see it. We were served 1 dish twice in our 7-day stay. One day, we were served cannelloni made with Prego. It was good, but not what I expected to be eating at a luxury resort. I would say the same about the “bocas” or meals they serve when dinner is not included. For $30/person, I was expecting a lot more.

Other guests- We really lucked out the first part of our stay. There were 2 other American couples in our age range. Meals with them were fun and made bearing the mosquitoes and bats at night a lot easier. We stayed up with them a few nights comparing traveling notes, and sharing our best adventure stories. Near the end of our trip, a couple celebrating their wedding anniversary arrived. They were nice, but eager to socialize, and we just wanted to relax. The woman talked a lot about her kids, which may or may not be of interest to others. Other guests are a toss-up. I could see this place being super fun with a group of friends. It can be tough to keep to yourself here, so I would not recommend coming here if you wish to do just that.

Spa- Highly recommended is the couple's sunset massage and dinner in the spa. Around 4:00 p.m., the therapists come get you to your room and start with the massages in the couple's room. After the massages, the therapists leave and you have the spa to yourselves. The concierge staff had already brought strawberries or other fruits and champagne by the hot tub. You have about an hour and a half before dinner is brought down. The dinner served in the spa is phenomenal. We did this twice, so we got to try a watermelon and feta cheese salad and an eggplant feta stack- both amazing! The main course is a choice of seared or blacked tuna, grilled mahi mahi, beef tenderloin, or shrimp and pasta. We tried all but the shrimp- all fantastic. For dessert-I don't recommend the chocolate mousse they usually serve here, but you can request something else. The tiramisu is pretty good. A note about the massages- they are all above average, but make sure to speak up if the pressure is not right for you. We tried the deep tissue and wish we would have done this earlier in our stay. We had it 3 days before we left and we were still sore a week later. It is an intense, and painful treatment. We weren't sure about tipping, but later found out that you can add tips for the spa when you check out, so tipping the therapists is not necessary at the end of your treatment. Prices are comparable to what you’d expect to pay in New York City, which seems excessive for Costa Rica, especially when you look at cost of living in the area. We would have probably used the spa more if the prices were more reasonable.

We've heard many great things about Costa Rica and decided to make this our honeymoon destination! After leaving, we've decided to make this an annual vacation.

Los Altos - words can't describe how much we loved this place. Our honeymoon included traveling about Costa Rica with Los Altos as the first stop. Our only regret is not staying here for the duration of our honeymoon. No other resort here compares to Los Altos - we had an amazing time.

This place is absolutely beautiful. The grounds are very well maintained (even with the very dry conditions during the dry season in Costa Rica). The resort feels like a luxurious, private home. Everything from the furniture to the decorative accents were stunning, comfortable and created a very relaxing environment. The rooms were extremely clean and I fell in love with the outdoor shower. The treated, filtered water was definitely a plus given the water conditions in the country. Loved the morning walk and yoga.

Service- Unbelievable. We were treated like royalty. Each time we left the room, one of the staff was there to ensure it was clean and tidy. The staff was wonderful and so accommodating. We LOVE Ari and Luth. They made us feel like family! After having a terrible experience at another resort in Costa Rica, we were welcomed "home" with open arms!

Food – some of the freshest and tastiest seafood we’ve ever had. The desserts – amazing!!!

We loved it here and we’re planning to return next year. We will never stay at any other resort in Costa Rica besides Los Altos. What an amazing experience.

Great day spa experience at Los Altos. Five of us ladies booked the day package and LOVED it. We were picked up at our condo in Playa Langosta -- about a 20-25 min drive from Tamarindo/Playa Langosta. Four hours of fantastic treatments from your own "personal attendant" plus an excellent lunch, drinks, wine for $200 each including transportation. What a wonderful day for such a reasonable price. You'd pay $500+ for similar services in the USA. Beautiful location, wonderful people, great service, fantastic treatments. It was bliss. The flyer for this place has been in our home in Playa Langosta for 3 years and this is the first time I've tried it -- believe me, we'd have been there many times a year had we known how wonderful it would be!

We stayed for 7 nights in June for our 10th wedding anniversary. We choose Los Altos de Eros because of the reviews from this site. One fear I had is that because of all the fantastic reviews, my expectations were set too high. After 7 wonderful nights I can say that our expectations were exceeded. This is truly a one of a kind place with a magical combination of setting, amenities, service and group dynamic.

Accommodations: We were able to secure the Eros Suite, which I highly recommend spending the extra money on. The other rooms are very nice but they are small and don’t provide much space to relax privately in your room. In addition, the private balcony offers amazing views and allows you to keep the sliding glass door wide open day and night.

Food: All meals were amazing with healthy ingredients, lots of seafood, and delightful desserts. We stayed for the “bocas” on most non dinner nights. They were not as fancy as the full dinners but always very good and always with outstanding desserts. We also had the romantic massage dinner which was outstanding and I highly recommend you book this early as they only can accommodate one couple per night.

Drinks: Beer, wine, smoothies and sodas are available at no additional charge throughout your stay. There is no selection of beers or wines, but the options they offered were fine. If you are a true wine connoisseur, you may want to bring your own. Otherwise, I’m sure you will be happy with their selection. A full selection of liquor is available at an additional charge.

Service: This is the one area that truly makes Los Altos de Eros stand out. The amazing staff is always happy, friendly and there to help in any way they can. If you ask for it, they will bend over backward to make it happen. One review commented on wanting the option to eat privately in your room or balcony. Although we never asked for this, I can’t imagine that they would not have accommodated this request if we had asked.

Group Dynamic: This is the one area that is a bit of a gamble. You will spend time with the other guest and if you don’t like, or don’t want, to be with others then this is probably not the place for you. During our stay all the other couples were either there for their honeymoon or their anniversary. The honeymooners naturally are on the younger side so expect many of the guests to be in their twenties or early thirties. We had a good mix of anniversary and honeymooners. Everyone had booked their stay based on Trip Advisor so this was almost like a built in screening process – we all had the same expectations.

Excursions: The resort is so fantastic why leave? We went to the beach a few times which is very relaxing. Miles of beach to walk, warm water and a great place to grab drink sna a hammock – Lolas. We also went on the Blue Dolphin catamaran. The day we went on the boat it was very rough with several people getting sick. We also ran out of gas on the way back and had several very drunk college kids get a bit obnoxious. I can’t say I recommend this, but maybe we just had an unusual experience.

I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea. Enjoy, we sure did!
