This property is clean, safe, and reasonably priced. There is good beach access (like many properties, you must cross a main road and access the beach via designated pathways). It is a quiet retreat in what can be a quite noisy and dusty main road.

Cozy, comfortalbe and convenient.

We truly enjoyed our 2 night stay here. The room is cozy, very clean and high enough above the street to minimize the noise from the traffic. The street is not paved in front of the hotel so your car gets a bit dusty, but that adds to the Costa Rica experience. The pool was a nice bonus and was very refreshing. The host/owner gave invaluable information as to where to go. It was also a testament to their character that when we told one of the restaurant (Chicken Joe's) where we were staying, he said we couldn't be staying with better people. It is far enough away from the busiest part of the town to make it quieter, but very convenient to everything.

A very clean and pretty hotel. It was close enough to town to me all to everything but just far enough away on the outskirts to avoid all the loud noise that people complain about. Loved the splash pool. It felt safe and secure.

Excelente estadía en Hotel Raratonga.

Excelente atención, Alessia, Stefano y Emma, personas simpatiquísimas! Siempre muy atentos y amables. Mi única queja fue la conexión a internet. Dado que la red celular (telefónica) es bastante mala en el lugar, tuve que depender totalmente de la wifi del hotel, la cuál a ratos me dió algunos problemas para conectar.

La estadía en Raratonga fue buena y placentera, sin embargo, el internet no funcionaba bien. Tambien, a nosotros nos tocó en un primer piso y se escuchaban mucho los pasos de las personas que estaban hospedadas arriba de nosotros, y llegaba a ser un poco molesto. Después de eso estuvo excelente.
