Nice property with friendly staff and excellent pool. We were not affected on the north side of the first floor but could see how some rooms on the 2nd floor on the south side could be bothered by road noise.

Stunning coast but Average stay. Requires a hire car or you will be a captive as walking to beach or township (7km) on the busy road outside the property not recommended. The staff overall were polite / effective but the front desk in particular seemed challenged and a poor communicator in English on local advice but was a willing booking agency. Good pool / nice garden. Comfy bed but room & bathroom v tired: shower emitted constant odour. Tired entry. All suggest under-investment pre/post covid. In-room Coffee machine had 1 capsule on arrival and the few we got after many asks we then paid for on check out: no issue with that, but not clear at outset or explained by front desk when we asked (BTW Capsules were Not an issue at 2 other hotels in CR). Empty mini bar. The gardener burned off in the perimeter of hotel on 2 locations in one day, causing toxic smoke to foul the air across the hotel and pool area, so we departed the premises on both occasions. Shame on management. No instructions in room for anything including satellite TV and even that was only set up in Spanish (no English channels) and when we asked the front desk to explain it he did not know so explained it badly so TV limited to streaming. Given the cost, its Service levels were acceptable but limited due to low staff numbers: Food menu OK but not cheap and the “specials” board did not change while there and no incentive or events like happy hour to stay and drink / eat meals so went elsewhere. Underwhelmed.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Montelaguna and I absolutely hope to return. The property was very charming and well decorated with a relaxed atmosphere and all the conveniences we would want. The meals were so good that we rarely ate anywhere else -- well prepared and reasonably priced. The staff were ALWAYS pleasant and helpful. They made a great mojito. The pool was great to cool down on a hot day. The only hiccup we ran into was that it took about a day to figure out the quickest way to walk to the beach. But once we figured it out, the location was PERFECT because it was peaceful and just a little bit off the grid, but with easy access to the touristy town of Samara Beach (which was also kind of cool in its own way.) And the staff calls taxis for you at any time of day or night. So, for what I like (charm, quiet, good food, nice people, reasonable prices, proximity to a gorgeous and largely unspoiled beach), this property gets five stars in my book.

Montelaguna was a really perfect stay for us in the Samara area. It was perfectly situated between Playa Carrillo and Playa Samara so we were able to enjoy both beaches easily. The staff were always ready and kindly booked tours, accommodated special requests and were just a pleasure to deal with day to day. The housekeeping was prompt and thorough as well. We would stay here again no question.
