Ylang Ylang Beach Resort

Location & Setting: Situated in a lush jungle with direct beach access, surrounded by wildlife and offering serene, private accommodations with ocean views.

We're just home from the most amazing stay at Ylang Ylang. My wife and I were in desperate need of a vacation after a very hard year, and Ylang Ylang could not have been more perfect. The grounds and facilities are amazing, but what truly made it exceptional was the staff. To a person, everyone who works at Ylang Ylang was genuinely friendly, kind and helpful. We spent half of our stay in a beach side bungalow, and the other in the tree top cabin. Both were unique and special in their own way, and we'd recommend either without hesitation for an amazing stay. The food was excellent as well. Everything was fresh and beautifully prepared, and there was plenty of variety to choose from. We also purchased the adventure package through Ylang Ylang, which included a massage at the onsite spa; a day trip to Tortuga Island for snorkeling and lunch; and another morning of ziplining in the nearby forest. The latter two were provided by third parties. The massages and the trip to Tortuga Island were fantastic. The ziplining was less enthralling due to being added to an enormous group and needing to wait 15-20 minutes at every station (there are 8 total). In hindsight we would've opted for the horseback riding, which was also an option, instead. Overall we'd highly recommend staying at Ylang Ylang, and we will certainly be going back ourselves ASAP.

We stayed in room LJ5 I believe which is a 3-bed loft. A little tight for a family of 5 but it worked fine while we were there. The view was incredible and the room was comfortable. The breakfast staff was truly amazing and was the best start to every day at the resort. Try the Cas juice! Its local only to Costa Rica and its incredible. Our daughter especially loved Mimi the cat :) We will definitely be staying at Ylang Ylang again! Thank you for an incredible stay!
