This facility was very well built many years ago but is so so maintained. Everything is the bare minimum in terms of linens and bedding. The furniture in room and around the pool are cheap and flimsy. Staff is underwhelming. On the other hand, it has very nice beach frontage and a very large pool.

I felt safe staying here. The property could use some updating, the water pressure was very low at the sink and shower. The room was cozy, the bathroom had plenty of space. The staff was great, very friendly and accommodating.

What a great surprise! Orbitz had to relocation us because the first hotel had a problem with our reservation. The hotel was right in the jungle with access to the beach a few feet away. Very clean and comfortable property without the craziness of Limon or Puerto Viejo in Costa Rica. Very Private and safe. Also, Julian and Javier (hotel staff) were very welcoming.

Property is beautiful but ocean wasnt friendly to swim in. The pool is nice with a waterfall. Breakfast was basic and one morning weiners were offered as the only meat option. Next morning only eggs bun and juice. We left a day early due to all the rain and we stayed end of Jan beginning of feb (dry season).

Overall a great out of the way place right on the ocean, if you like crashing waves and long beaches even better. You need a car to take advantage of the rural location and the nice drive down the coast. The staff were good with some English. The down side to my room which was very clean and spacious for Costa Rica was, they have taken out the fridge, microwave and no coffee pot! The restaurant there does have good food but after breakfast you are paying.

We loved the old world charm of the hotel. The beds were comfortable. The colourful tile in the bathroom and kitchen is very Costa Rican. The staff were excellent! So kind and attentive. We had two dinners and two breakfasts and enjoyed them all. The mature plants and palms on the property were incredible and the pool was large and clean. No complaints at all. Wish we could have stayed longer.
