Beautiful eco hotel nested in a breathtaking natural landscape between a river estuary and a turtle nesting reserve on a black sand beach. There is even a nice easy hike in the jungle just by the property. Perfect place for nature lovers, even with little kids. The swimming pool has some shallow areas perfect for little ones. The spa is wonderful with views on the river. I highly recommend the cocoa scrub and massage! And the staff is great both at the hotel, the restaurant and the spa! Even the driver who picked us up from the port was adorable.

Unfortunately you can’t swim in the beach because of the rough current but you can walk by the beautiful beach and feel like in the movie Cast Away in the early morning or swim in the swimming pool.

Secluded, right on a beautiful beach Comfortable bed. Good dinner. Good spa menu selection. Gorgeous grounds.

Some areas needed attention including the shower in our room and the pool, which was very rough and needing repair. No towels were available for the pool (or if they were, we were not made aware). We needed to order breakfast the night before as we left early for the airport, but the selection did not hold up well in our fridge overnight so we were without a meal. These are very minor things, didn't ruin any part of our stay, we were only there one night, we didn't get to experience the spa as it was booked, and it was raining, so I'm sure there are things we missed. But based on this stay, in comparison to others we stayed at during our trip, for the cost it did not meet our expectations, but did give us a nice chance to unwind.

The staff are very friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests. The beach is one of the nicest on the island IMO, the resort offers additional activities which are good entertainment. The river adds to the beauty of the location.

Food quality was inconsistent, some great meals, but some disappointing too. Although the beach is very nice you cannot swim in the sea, strong rip currents. In the

Great place to relax … home away from home

Food selections were not available and was on menu

The Rosalie Bay Eco Resort is amazing! My family felt so relaxed and welcome from the moment we arrived. The entire staff is so welcoming and friendly, the food is amazing using locally sourced ingredients starting with the fresh passion fruit juice served each morning or local coffee, kale and pumpkin couscous salad for lunch, local braised goat and fresh fish fingers for the kids (they couldn’t wait to eat each meal and lick their plate clean! The property is green, eco-conscious (very minimal plastic or free sundries in plastic provided), and has so much to do. The beds and pillows were so comfortable and the rooms immaculately cleaned. We stayed five nights and could have easily stayed longer! A special shout out to Judy for all her tips (Emerald Pool, Jaco steps/flats hike, Spanny and Jaco Falls, and Victoria Falls hike-we we’re content and exhausted each day!), the always friendly ladies in the Leatherback restaurant Alina and Sabrina, the front desk staff, and grounds staff. my husband lived the gym and the kids and I loved the pool which was so natural and refreshing! Oh and did I mention we saw a beautiful leatherback female turtle lay her eggs-a bucket list experience!

Nothing. Rosalie Bay is remote in the middle of the rainforest and it does help to have a car if you are wanting to go to all the hikes snd waterfalls on your own schedule but the hotel can also organize private excursions. I loved the onsite pool and river kayaking and wandering turtle beach each morning-i/we ran out of time to even check out the beautiful spa! I don’t know about those people in the reviews who say the property is dated or the food is not good-I think those are the type of people who need to be at super developed chain properties with the all-inclusive options and probably they have come to the wrong island.

I like the quiet location so was able to enjoy the wonderful native flora on site

Didn't enjoy any of my evening meals. In my experience the food was overly cooked. Buffet breakfast was better at least I was able to enjoy what was available.

Beautiful place in the middle of nowhere. The resort has an eco-vibe so that's nice. Usually don't stay at places like this but it was nice. Good breakfast was included.

You can't really swim on the beach since it has a lot of hard currents. It's also in the middle of nowhere so not much else around. A bit pricey perhaps

I loved the pool area. Is a pity it wasn't cleaned or in use. I love that room was clean and smelled of beautiful flowers, I used the gym then walked around the property very vibrant and beautiful.

I didn't like the bed, it wasn't spacious.

Surroundings, very large room and balcony, pool, spa, friendliness of staff

Restaurant was disappointing - inconsistent, slow service, many items unavailable

I love the fact that they wake you up when a turtle is on the beach. Also the pool was very nice and we could use it anytime. Food was also good. I got an massage and that was really wonderful. Would book again anytime
