Had the best time at this beachside hotel. Very quaint with only a handful of rooms that are all steps to the ocean. The food was fabulous and the area was safe and walkable to other fabulous restaurants. Coco was our favourite beach, calm waves, beautiful sandy swimmable ocean! And best of all no one trying to sell you crap on the beach! Very walkable beach, we loved everything

The staff is very friendly, the rooms are really clean and the food was delicious. Water pressure is amazing here in the showers. The beach is right out front which is a bonus and there is a path that you can walk to town on right from the hotel.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Location was perfect however the quality of the premises was not good. We don’t expect a 5 star experience for this price but this hotel could certainly use upgrades. Shower and hot water was very hit and miss, some showers had near zero water pressure. Just overall a very tired property with seemingly no reinvestment into it

The room was basic needs. No hair dryer or conditioner for instance. One of the staff members was amazing and brought me one from her house.! The area around doesn’t look that great. However, once you enter the gate, you feel in a cozy yard the fact that is on the beach with a beach café is awesome. You have the best access.

Great for a room on the beach, really great food, and good restaurant service when not busy. Room was okay. Coffee is really excellent in your room! Like really, really good. Bathroom had lights out, was a little rough and could use some light reno for the rate. Initially, I was concerned about the room bejng so close to the pool and restaurant but they shutdown around 9pm, so it's really great. Hearing the waves at night is really peaceful, and overall really like the place. Server, Marisol, was very sweet, and her colleague is very professional. The restaurant manager does a good job inviting people in and filling the restaurant. However, the 2 servers do get a little stretched thin when the restaurant fills at dinner. Food is delicious in Costa Rica. Here was no exception: tuna tartar was top notch, and burger was exceptional although very thick and hard to handle 😂 Overall worth the price, will return!
