For such an economical price i did not expect a nice breakfast included. Or a pool. Or a kitchen in our units. The staff are very courteous and keep the facilities clean. This place is definitely a good bargain.

Loved this place so much we booked to stay longer. Fantastic location just 5 mins walk from the national park beach which is stunning. The grounds of the hotel are lovely with two pools to cool down in after a hot day in the beach. Staff are exceptionally helpful snd kind. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel and a Mexican restaurant just along the road. We had the superior double room with a large kitchen and terrace so nice that we went to Maxi Palí supermarket at the end of the road and bought food to cook in the lovely kitchen. Now sitting in a hotel further up the coast and wishing we hadn’t left paradise

We have stayed here a few times with our dog and it is a convenient halfway point between Hermosa and Pavones. Very secure and safe, great restaurant onsite, and big, clean rooms with everything you need for a short or extended stay.

Le service pour l’hôtel est ok. Très peu de contact avec eux et on nous évitait quasiment. Aucune étoile à donner pour un wow pour le service à la clientèle sur place. Le service au restaurant pour les déjeuners était plus convivial et rapide. La dame était souriante et très sympathique. La chambre qui était avec une cuisine avait deux portes barrées au fond d’un corridor pour probablement des gens qui habitent l’hôtel. Je ne me sentais pas totalement en chambre privée à cause de cela. De plus on les entendait suffisamment pour comprendre ce qu’ils disaient et des enfants criaient. Un autre point un peu négatif était la qualité du lit et matelas qui était médiocre alors que tout le reste de la chambre était vraiment très beau et fonctionnel. C’était comme s’ils avaient mis de la qualité partout sauf dans le lit et les oreillers ultra minces un peu comme sur utilisées. Nous étions deux et avions qu’une minie oreiller chaque. Les bons points étaient le stationnement à même l’hôtel et fermé par des barrières la nuit, deux belles piscines propres et l’aire climatisée permettant une belle fraîcheur dans la chambre.

The hotel is right next to the beach, walking distance and great location. Across the street is a great restaurant! The staff is so friendly. Breakfast there starts at 6:30am and is made to order. The beds are comfortable and you have a fridge and freezer and can control your own AC temperature. They give you two towels each which is very nice. They have a pool and showers. There is a cute orange and white hotel cat. I wish they had a lamp and towel hangers in the room.

Swimming pools are above ground and highly chlorinated, no where to sit and socialize around pool(s) area. There was no Internet nor cable television which is not the hotel's fault BUT they should have offered a discount or have a solution ready.

We stayed in the Deluxe Apartment and overall it was very good. The bathroom was amazing, the beds were comfortable, everything was clean, the staff was nice, and it was quiet. However, we were pretty uncomfortable the next morning to find that the closet that was locked off to us was open to the adjacent apartment, and they could easily look right through the spaces beside the sliding closet doors into our room. If they fix that, I’d gladly stay there again but otherwise we would not be interested in going back.

Endroit intéressant, chambre spacieuse. Personnel sympathique. Possibilité d’un meilleur éclairage, luminosité s’apparentant à une salle d’opération d’un hôpital; un simple gradateur pourrait suffire. Minimaliste quant aux accessoires, même pas un simple verre en plastique et tout au plus quelques savons disponibles.

Room and bathroom were very spacious, staff were very accommodating, and 5-7 min walk to beach so fabulous location. Only reason why score is lower is party was going on one of nights and feel they could’ve let us know that music was going to be blaring no matter where you were in the hotel! Also, service outside of breakfast is very slow and forgot to put our lunch order thru so waited over an hour - although they did comp it which was decent of them.

I stayed at this hotel at the end of January. Overall I was very pleased with the hotel. The reception staff didn’t speak much English but were doing their best to be helpful. My room was clean and cozy. The hotel is located within walking distance from the Uvita beach. There are a few restaurants close to it. I would definitely come back again.

Consistently praised for being a short walk to Uvita Beach and Marino Ballena Park, with restaurants and a supermarket nearby. Slightly outside the main town but convenient for beach access.

Loved this place so much we booked to stay longer. Fantastic location just 5 mins walk from the national park beach which is stunning. The grounds of the hotel are lovely with two pools to cool down in after a hot day in the beach. Staff are exceptionally helpful snd kind. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel and a Mexican restaurant just along the road. We had the superior double room with a large kitchen and terrace so nice that we went to Maxi Palí supermarket at the end of the road and bought food to cook in the lovely kitchen. Now sitting in a hotel further up the coast and wishing we hadn’t left paradise

We have stayed here a few times with our dog and it is a convenient halfway point between Hermosa and Pavones. Very secure and safe, great restaurant onsite, and big, clean rooms with everything you need for a short or extended stay.

The hotel is right next to the beach, walking distance and great location. Across the street is a great restaurant! The staff is so friendly. Breakfast there starts at 6:30am and is made to order. The beds are comfortable and you have a fridge and freezer and can control your own AC temperature. They give you two towels each which is very nice. They have a pool and showers. There is a cute orange and white hotel cat. I wish they had a lamp and towel hangers in the room.

Room and bathroom were very spacious, staff were very accommodating, and 5-7 min walk to beach so fabulous location. Only reason why score is lower is party was going on one of nights and feel they could’ve let us know that music was going to be blaring no matter where you were in the hotel! Also, service outside of breakfast is very slow and forgot to put our lunch order thru so waited over an hour - although they did comp it which was decent of them.

I stayed at this hotel at the end of January. Overall I was very pleased with the hotel. The reception staff didn’t speak much English but were doing their best to be helpful. My room was clean and cozy. The hotel is located within walking distance from the Uvita beach. There are a few restaurants close to it. I would definitely come back again.

For such an economical price i did not expect a nice breakfast included. Or a pool. Or a kitchen in our units. The staff are very courteous and keep the facilities clean. This place is definitely a good bargain.

Le service pour l’hôtel est ok. Très peu de contact avec eux et on nous évitait quasiment. Aucune étoile à donner pour un wow pour le service à la clientèle sur place. Le service au restaurant pour les déjeuners était plus convivial et rapide. La dame était souriante et très sympathique. La chambre qui était avec une cuisine avait deux portes barrées au fond d’un corridor pour probablement des gens qui habitent l’hôtel. Je ne me sentais pas totalement en chambre privée à cause de cela. De plus on les entendait suffisamment pour comprendre ce qu’ils disaient et des enfants criaient. Un autre point un peu négatif était la qualité du lit et matelas qui était médiocre alors que tout le reste de la chambre était vraiment très beau et fonctionnel. C’était comme s’ils avaient mis de la qualité partout sauf dans le lit et les oreillers ultra minces un peu comme sur utilisées. Nous étions deux et avions qu’une minie oreiller chaque. Les bons points étaient le stationnement à même l’hôtel et fermé par des barrières la nuit, deux belles piscines propres et l’aire climatisée permettant une belle fraîcheur dans la chambre.
