Beautiful property. The people are amazing there and very hospitable. The rooms are large and traditional costarican rooms. The beach access is steep, but the beach is beautiful. Lovely fish to see while snorkeling. Would stay again.

This property needs major work. Staff very friendly but no internet, wifi in the rooms. Air conditioner was to small for the room. Patio door the latch was broken. At one time this was a beautiful property but over time has been neglected. Apparently the owner lives in Texas and has let his properties really be neglected.

Our room what extremely hot, 81 degrees. Two towels provided for a family of four. No exaggeration there were spiders and ants everywhere, coming out of electrical sockets and wall trim. Shower knobs broken. No soap, no wash clothes, no paper towels

Everyone we talked to was extremely friendly and helpful. There was supposed to be WiFi but it only worked in the lobby.

My only complaint is that there is no internet in the rooms, there is no hot water, and the bathroom and kitchen are dirty. The people who work there are very friendly.
