Location was perfect however the quality of the premises was not good. We don’t expect a 5 star experience for this price but this hotel could certainly use upgrades. Shower and hot water was very hit and miss, some showers had near zero water pressure. Just overall a very tired property with seemingly no reinvestment into it

If there was less than one star I would have given it a Zero. Expedia should remove this place as an option to stay. It's basically a Cafe with some rooms for rent. The place does not look like the pictures and the staff was the rudest I encountered in my 10 days in Costa Rica. There was no hot water and crabs were in the shower. As guests we ordered drinks from the bar and after 40 mins we still did not get our drinks even after inquiring about them several times. We book the room for two nights but decided to leave a day early because of the conditions and the most unfriendly staff. Expedia should take this off their Web site. No Bueno Zero Stars Avoid this Place

Older, not well equipped room- no chair no hot water nowhere to set suitcases - staff was excellent with what they had to work with - pleasant therapy cat was a bonus

Great for a room on the beach, really great food, and good restaurant service when not busy. Room was okay. Coffee is really excellent in your room! Like really, really good. Bathroom had lights out, was a little rough and could use some light reno for the rate. Initially, I was concerned about the room bejng so close to the pool and restaurant but they shutdown around 9pm, so it's really great. Hearing the waves at night is really peaceful, and overall really like the place. Server, Marisol, was very sweet, and her colleague is very professional. The restaurant manager does a good job inviting people in and filling the restaurant. However, the 2 servers do get a little stretched thin when the restaurant fills at dinner. Food is delicious in Costa Rica. Here was no exception: tuna tartar was top notch, and burger was exceptional although very thick and hard to handle 😂 Overall worth the price, will return!
