The hotel is good overall terms. Staff is kind, limited options for food, we ate at the hotel restaurant which was really good. The main parking is limited, but they have another 2nd parking about 200 meters from hotel. We didn’t like that room was too small, the bathroom was too tiny at least on the room we took.

Cayuga review

This hotel is the only one to stay in if you have to go to Puntarenas. The town is rundown and dirty with nothing to offer. However this hotel was a life saver! Nice pool and modern with on site restaurant and bar. Small rooms though but manageable.

It is a very clean and new facility for Costa Rica. The staff was very well versed in English. They had private parking that was secure for your car and the restaurant was excellent and affordable.

My husband and i stayed for 4 nights. The hotel staff especially the gentleman at the front desk was fantastic. We set up our tours and taxi's, it went flawless!! I have limited mobility so he made it so easy. Gave us great places to eat, helped us to find great aces to eat. Highly recommend.

Great stay, great staff, great price!

We chose this hotel for the location close to the ferry pier, the pool & the price! We were not disappointed! It was easy to get to, location was extremely convenient. There is a gas station at the corner & a mini-market next door. There is a parking garage that has access to the hotel, so need to drag your bags down the sidewalk. We loved the pool, cleanliness, and the staff was exceptional!

This was a nice little property. However, I did not like the location. I spent a month traveling through Costa Rica alone. This was the only place that I didn't feel comfortable exploring.

Costa Rica Beach trip.

The hotel staff was amazing, and thank goodness, there was someone at the desk who spoke english. Better to stay here if you can speak spanish, but we did OK. Not many amenities in the room. The beach is only a few blocks away, but the water was very dirty while we were there. Pool was great, and there is always part of the pool that is in the shade no matter what time of the day. Nice hotel.

The property is located in a busy commercial part of town .There’s a lot of traffic on the street in front of the hotel. Our room faced the street and was quite noisy. I do not recommend the suite with a Jacuzzi instead op for a room facing the pool. There was no room service the second day, however a free breakfast was included.

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had a terrible night here. No blankets in the room but had to leave ac on or we roasted. Then some other guests decided to have a party in the courtyard from 11:30 to 3:30 am. Tried to call front desk (which is attached to the courtyard so they should have been able to hear them anyways) but no answer. Was told by morning front desk staff that there should have been someone there. Then first thing in the morning someone decided to swim at 6:30. Pool is closed from 8:45 pm to 8:45 am. Breakfast took about 50 minutes to make. I could overlook the cobwebs in the room corners full of bugs if not for all of that. Too bad because it is a beautiful hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We stayed for one night before a cruise. The good news is that the hotel is a quick five minute walk to Puntarenas port. The bad news is that we barely slept due to freezing AC, very low end linens and horrible pillows. There’s no elevator so we had to drag our luggage up two flights. No closet in the room, no blow dryer. On a positive note, the included breakfast, though limited to fruit, plantains, eggs, rice and toast, was surprisingly good and lunch—very fresh grilled shrimp over a salad of greens, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers—was excellent.
