Accompanied by their three children, a nanny and a personal chef, the Jolie-Pitt entourage, registered as "the Black family," have been staying at the resort 155 miles north west of the capital since last Friday, according to the report.

The hotel’s website describes the facility as "spilling down a lush mountainside to an isthmus of golden sand" and says room rates range from 470 dollars (£235) to 6,800 dollars (£3,400) a night.

The two spent Christmas Day in Costa Rica with refugee children and families from Colombia, also part of Angie’s ambassadorship for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

There are about 11,500 refugees in Costa Rica, most of whom fled Colombia because of the conflict between leftist guerrillas, soldiers and paramilitary forces.

"I am deeply affected by having had the opportunity to be with them," said Costa Rica’s former culture minister Guido Saenz, who took the couple around an art museum.

"They have a mixture of physical beauty, great talent and an altruistic attitude."

Ang wants to sit down with Jen  - Dec 13 2006
They’re unlikely ever to become best friends, but Angelina Jolie has said she would like to sit down face-to-face with Jennifer Aniston.

But the meeting would only come about if the Friends actress would agree.

Ang added that she has met Jen briefly but it was not a "proper meeting".

"We’ve, like, passed each other and said ’Hi’ briefly, shook hands," she said.

"But not a real sit-down-and-talk kind of meeting. That would be her decision, and I would welcome it."

And the 31-year-old added that when she met Brad, she didn’t think he was looking for another relationship.

"It was clear he was with his best friend, someone he loves and respects," the actress said.

She added: "Brad was a huge surprise to me... I think we were the last two people who were looking for a relationship.

"I certainly wasn’t. I was quite content to be a single mom."

Brangelina ’just friends’ before divorce - Dec 12 2006
Angelina Jolie has opened up about falling for Brad Pitt when he was still married to Jennifer Aniston.

But the actress said she and the heartthrob, who met as they filmed Mr & Mrs Smith, remained nothing more than friends until after he and Jen announced they were divorcing in early 2005.

Angie said she and Brad got on so well as they worked on the movie that she could not wait to get to the set each day.

The star, who this year had a baby with the 42-year-old actor and shares two adopted children with him, said of her connection with the actor: "Because of the film, we ended up being brought together to do all these crazy things, and I think we found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened.

"Whether it was shooting a scene or arguing about a scene or gun practice or dance class or doing stunts - anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. We just became kind of a pair.
