Property was not clean at all. Property needs a lotttt of repairs to bring it up to bare minimum standard. Room and bathroom was very small. Room had smeared black marks on walls, and they had a very strong smell due to mof balls they have in room and bathroom. They have people living there and we’re very loud at night so we could not sleep. We had to buy ice at the restaurant to have cold water. no amenities in the room. No parking so we parked road side and walked to the hotel. I would never stay at this property again.

For some reason, the address given for the hotel did not match where it was located. A kind person asked if we needed help and gave us google translated directions for where the hotel actually was, 1 km away. Once we got there, everything went well with check in and accommodations.

The rooms had good AC but the bathroom sanitizer smell overpowering. Very basic but clean. Not a luxury option but very satisfactory and great price for quality. The staff was super and very friendly and knowledgeable. Food was good and breakfast was a nice variety. A great option should we visit again. Pura Vida!

This hotel is across from the beach and free breakfast included, however bathrooms in poor shape and beds uncomfortable with only one sheet to sleep with. Hostess was kind and helped with parking. We came after dark and couldn’t find a parking spot close by. We felt like we were an inconvenience at the restaurant for breakfast but the food was good.

They clean the rooms and surrounding areas with undiluted pledge which gives the smell of harsh varnish that permeated the room for the two nights. One faucet for shower and sink with water that is hardly warmer than room temperature. Although the room was clean. The quality of said room was subpar. Poor quality for the $50usd a night. Far too expensive. A makeshift door for the bathroom for instance. Very thin sheets. Two pillows, two towels. The toilet hardly flushed and got clogged (toilet paper was never placed in toilet). Pro? It was near the water.

Cálida - Precio es Caro
Me presenté al hotel y la Srita de Recepción me cobraron $15 más caro de cómo estaba en las aplicaciones .
Por lo que eligi está aplicación para realizar mi reserva , la habitación tenía muy mal olor y la cama tenía pulgas o purrujas que me tenían toda picada .
En la tarde se me apeteció un café en el restaurante del hotel por lo que fui a comprarlo y para mí sorpresa me dijeron que no había café , asombroso que Costa Rica no tenga café donde los ticos somos conocidos por ser cafeteros .
Lo que es el desayuno es de baja calidad y solo te sirven una Taza de café .
Por lo que opté no reservar más e irme aún lugar más cómodo y con café.
Pésimo internet.
