Good Stay - Food Great

Our stay was fine we were not expecting a five star hotel….our room was clean and the service was good! Bed was a little uncomfortable as for the air conditioning was not located in a great spot so it did not cool us off….the breakfast was wonderful and staff very friendly! The owner Peter has a great interesting story. I would recommend if you are looking for a room and you are on a budget!

Beautiful beachfront view, mediocre service

Pros: - Beautiful beachfront property - Restaurant and Bar on site with good cocktails (but weak!) - Located between two surf locations (5 minute walk to each) Cons: - Be prepared to pay in cash! On arrival, the owner, Peter, will claim his credit card machine is broken and will ask you to pay for the hotel and extras in cash. However, know that it has been broken for years (talked to locals and read reviews to confirm). He likely has no intention of fixing it as credit card fees are insane in the area. To be fair, expect most businesses in the area to only accept cash. This may not be a big deal for some but the deception and lie are what bothered me most. The issue is that the atm is a 20 min walk (one way) and the atm will only allow you to pull 100,000 colones (approx $168) at a time (forcing you to pay multiple atm fees). His advertising/booking sites should merely advertise cash only and this could be resolved/save guests the headache. - The safe was broken, as were the drains in the rooms - The rooms are close to the loud road and have no ocean view - Trash littering the property from Saturday's party will be left to bake (stink) in the sun until Monday Tip: This can be either good or bad depending on the vibe you want but be prepared for loud parties. RI throws a party every Saturday and Tuesday, expect it to go late into the morning (and for Peter to be hungover and not available the following morning). It's definitely not the vibe for children.
