"Our stay was comfortable and the staff were very friendly. I will note that the pictures depict a lavish boutique resort, however, it was more run down and could use some updating. The grounds were beautiful but the pool was often dirty and needs to be repaired. The food was excellent but very expensive. We stayed in a bungalow that was very small but comfortable for 2 adults and one child. Overall it was a nice stay. "

Seis Playas Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"Rooms were clean but small and basic. No amenities other then wifi. Breakfast was buffet style over the weekend but basic; scrambled eggs, rice and beans, sausage and french toast. Bottled water was 4.00 and there is nothing within walking distance. 100$ to and from airport and uber is illegal. Should have done more research on my trip before booking. Also, left birkenstocks under the bed on accident and maid sayd she doesn't see them. Not happy."

Hotel Pasatiempo

10/10 Excellent

"The property, the staff, and everything about our stay, here was excellent. The location to the beach and all of the things in downtown or within 10 minutes or less. It really added to our trip to Costa Rica and we think the hotel very much for helping in every way. My wife and I had a very good time here."

In the Shade Hotel - Coworking - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"The location couldn’t be better. The staff here is amazing and all guests (like everyone in the area) were kind and friendly. The location is surprisingly quiet given how close it is to the Main Street. The breakfast is tasty too! I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again."
