The only thing that is good about this hotel is the ocean proximity and view. 1) there is no breakfast included 2) the pool smells like urine 3) the front desk is only available after 11 a.m. 4) the room is old and sparsely furnished Not worth the $$$ even during high season

This was the perfect place for us to really enjoy the beach walking distance from our room. The staff was lovely, and the food at the restaurant was very very good. The sunset from the beach restaurant could not have been any better. The walk to the main avenue of tourist shops maybe takes 15-20 minutes, but walking along the beach makes it very pleasant.

Everything you need at the quiet end of the beach. Grounds are well maintained, room was comfortable with all the necessities, and staff is friendly. You have the option to dip your toes in the ocean or dip in the pool, eat great food on site, and have a great seat for the sunset.

Was advertised as a ‘good’ hotel. That is true. No more than that. More like a motel, not boutique hotel. Says daily maid service and bicycle rentals- neither of those existed. Had to ask for more toilet paper. Did not ask for maid service as we did not want it. Shampoo and shower gel available but no conditioner. No beach chairs available even though directly on the beach. Can walk to town but it is about .75 miles on the road or 0.5 on the beach. No specific area to wash sand off feet when returning. Restaurant staff friendly. Would probably stay somewhere else next time.

Room was no frills for sure, but to walk out of our room straight to the beach was worth it. Staff there were so friendly and went above and beyond, bringing chairs, food, and drink out to the beach to us! Cocktails were amazing!

The hotel only has 5 rooms and a nice pool. The bar and restaurant are owned separately. The rooms were pretty funky but clean and the beds were good. What makes this such a great place is the proximity to the beach and the fantastic restaurant. We ate there every night and it was the best food we had for the $$ in Costa Rica. We loved it so much they brought the chef out to meet us! What a talented young man!!

Very nice location. Clean and safe. No seating/chairs in room makes it difficult to sit on bed for everything. Mattress sorly uncomfortable. Back pain developed during our stay. They dropped the ball on room services the first day and ignored my request for towels to shower. Super courteous staff when engaged.

This hotel was small, only 5 rooms. We stayed for 15 nights. The room we had was really big and had everything we needed. The pool was right outside the door and the restaurant was just steps away. The food was excellent and had a superb view of the bay. The staff were all hard workers and ready to assist you with anything you needed. They all worked hard to keep this place in good shape and yes I would stay here again.

It's a nice little 5 room motel behind a very good restaurant. The first night we were put in room 1, which was not great. Second night we stayed in room 2 which was much better. Staff was really excellent and very nice. Pool and garden area are small, but lovely and well maintained. We had 3 meals at the restaurant, and they were all excellent. Beach out front is really great too. I would definitely stay here again when I return.

We enjoyed our stay here. Nice beach. Decent restaurant. No room service though and no phone in room. Also no mini fridge. Their advertisement about beach front rooms is not correct however the rooms don't face the ocean.

This property is first and foremost a RESTAURANT that happens to rent a few rooms. The bathroom was filthy upon check in. Not sure its ever actually been thoroughly cleaned. Reception is the bar. They had a paper binder to manage their reservations. It showed we were to be in room #2, but given the keys to stay in room #1. The Reception desk (bar) isn't staffed until 11 am. This is problematic if you need to check out before 11 am. You're lucky if you can find the "housekeeper" when you need to refresh your towels etc and ask for cleaning. The sheets were clean and bed comfortable, nice pool area. Definitely not more than a 1 star property and way over priced for what you get.
