The room was the pits. No air conditioning, no windows, could see through the floor boards, cramped with no table or reading light. The bathroom was way down at the other of the floor and the shower had no running water. I didn’t bother staying and left.

Always My First Choice

Attended a friends wedding and I didn't want to drive home. Needed a dog friendly hotel. This is the best in town! Comfy bed, great location and dog loves the balcony and dog watching lol Awesome breakfast included. (Which they completely accommodated my egg allergy subbing them out for fruit, no problem).

3-Day Visit

A good location, as it was opposite beach. But also a bot noisy as on the main street. There was no AC and a portable fan…which was not enough to provide comfort. The shared bathroom was always clean and tidy. The breakfast was nice. The lock on balcony did not work. The polyster bed sheet was a disappointing as was the lack of hanging and storage space.

The food and drinks were great, no complaints. But the bed was as hard as a rock, like sleeping on concrete. The staff almost seemed annoyed to have a guest stay there.

Gracias!

I loved that my dog was welcomed! King size bed was clean and comfy. The floor fan was greatly appreciated! The room wasn’t enormous, but it was clean and functional. The chair fit perfectly on the balcony and I watched the town wake up with the bay and boats in the background. Breakfast was exceptional - typical Nica, but top shelf. Avocado, queso, gillopinto, 2 eggs, homemade sourdough toast, a little dish of pico de gallo and fried plantain (a sweet side). Coffee included! Just can’t go wrong here. My next in town staycation will definitely be here! Gracias chicas y chicos!

The view is amazing and that's it! The room was really dirty, had dust on the headboard and everywhere else in the room. The showers in the washroom don't have a showerhead. There is NO AC in the room, only a dirty fan. Probably hasn't been cleaned in years. At breakfast which was included, the staff said they didn't have avocado when I could see they had served avocado to other guests. He said they ran out and when I kept asking when will you get it, it just magically appeared.

Made a reservation through Expedia. Once I got to the property they didn’t have anyone to check me in. So the bar manager told me (in a condescending tone) that there were no rooms available. When I told him that I had a reservation her looked surprised as if he didn’t know what was going on. When I was finally checked in I was given an option of an ocean view room with no AC or a room with AC but with a view to the restrooms. With the heat of course I took the AC option. The room had one towels, upon use it gave out a weird smell as if it hadn’t been washed properly. The bedding had a huge stain in the middle. So I had to sleep at the foot of the bed across. Conclusion: for the prince you may want to try other properties around the area, even if you have to walk a few blocks to the beach. I’m definitely NEVER staying here again. Oh, one more thing, I ordered a strawberry/banana smoothie while I waited for check in and it tasted as if the fruits they used were going bad. I had to throw it away. Five bucks wasted there.

Le personnel est très chaleureux ! L'emplacement est idéal et il y a également un petit café à l'intérieur de l'hébergement. Je suggère de prendre une chambre avec un balcon pour avoir une belle vue et brise venant de la plage.
