Apoyo Resort & Conference Center

Entire house to ourselves (secluded) Perfectly quiet Hammock Great views Free shuttle within property Great A/C in room Kitchen appliances & refrigerator Delicious breakfast Large bathtub

Mosquitos in the house (needed mosquito nets & bug spray) Expensive taxis & drinks No choice in getting your own taxi No other restaurants close by except @ resort No A/C in living room & kitchen area Cold water in shower Food isn’t great (better to buy food at market to cook instead) Terrible restaurant workers & bar staff @ salida del sol (racial bias towards customers)

Apoyo Resort is gorgeous. The natural beauty of the Laguna always blows me away. We stayed in a private villa and saw monkeys, squirrels, and hundreds of birds from our deck. Our villa was beautiful, decorated with a lot of local art, fully equipped kitchen with all the necessary amenities to cook. They have transportation up the mountain for you because the hill is very steep. The water in the lake is wonderful. It's nice to take a dip there or in one of the resort's pools. The lakeside restaurant and the Salida del Sol restaurant have delicious food.

This is my third visit to this property. The biggest complaint is the organization of the restaurants. There is a pizza restaurant I have not been able to try because it has been closed every time I there it is closed. And the front desk staff don't seem to be certain about the restaurant's status when you ask. The restaurant at the lake edge closes at 6, which seems strange. The other one stays open til 10 I think. Both are delicious, but sometimes may serve something slightly different from what you order. Breakfast is free at the Salida del Sol, we think. We didn't have to pay the first day, and got a predetermined plate of food. The second day, we were given menus and ordered pancakes and an omelette. Delicious! But they had prices on the menu, so we asked for the bill and he went away for a while and came back and told us we didn't have to pay. Strange. You may also hear bats in your ceiling. Don't be too worried, they are eating all the mosquitoes to help your experience be better in that way.
