We loved our stay. The staff was lovely, welcoming and always welcoming. The pool was perfect a perfect spot to lounge and relax. The breakfast was tasty and the servers were very nice. Our room was very spacious and had plenty of room for my husband and I and our teenaged daughter. We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony at the end of the night. The hotel is in a great location in town and close to restaurants and a super market. I would highly recommend this hotel to others.

We stayed here for four nights and were very satisfied. The location is great. Restaurants, the main street, and the beach are all within easy walking distance. We were able to enjoy the sunset right from the beach. Breakfast was delicious. The staff and the manager were all very friendly, courteous, and attentive. The only downside is the rather uncomfortable bed. Overall, we can definitely recommend the hotel and would come back anytime.

The room was spotless. The staff were very kind and interested in making our experience the best it could be. The breakfast was delicious and we could see monkeys in the trees while having our morning coffee. The view from the room was a bit obscured but we were so close to the beach it didn't matter. Great to have deals at local restaurants as well. We had a great stay!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We arrived last minute spontaneous road trip first place that popes up was this one. Upon arrival no elevator to the third floor . The shower was no water pressure felt like someone was peeing on me in the shower. The bed was the most comfortable part of my stay. The hotel provided complimentary breakfast. Which I was excited about. Upon arrival the table was full of flies all over the food drinks . After we checked out . We had a 4 hour drive back to our destination I became sick with bad stomach pains had to stop every hour to use the bathroom. Don’t want to go into details but use your imagination. Will absolutely never use this hotel or recommend anyone stay at this place/hotel. Very disappointed dissatisfied

Lovely friendly hotel. Staff supremely helpful and friendly. Beautiful pool and bar area. Good breakfast choices. Fruit, granola, yoghurt. Plus choices of English cooked breakfast or typical Costa Rican breakfast of beans and rice. Great location for the beach. Cannot recommend this place more highly.

My experience at this hotel was simply outstanding. From the very beginning, the staff’s service was spectacular friendly, professional, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The hotel itself is truly beautiful, carefully maintained, and offers a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you feel instantly relaxed. The included breakfast is another highlight: the variety is excellent, with plenty of delicious options to choose from every morning. The location couldn’t be better, perfectly situated to enjoy everything the area has to offer. Without a doubt, it’s the best hotel in the area. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to come back.
