We ignored the bad revues and took a chance on the Sunset Inn...bad idea. Luckily we did not prepay the entire month of our dream vacation to Costa Rica. When we first arrived we noticed that the window in our bathroom was missing. Not broken or under repair....just gone. Federico assured us that it would be fixed by tomorrow the next day for sure. When we left a week later it still wasn't fixed. In a community where 24 hour security guards are the norm this seemed like a huge problem. We never did leave any valuables in our unit. His site advertizes bikes and surf boards for customer use. All the bikes had flat tires and were finally fixed a week later on the day we left. Unfortunately my wife had booked this place primarily because she wanted to bike every day.
One of the tenants who is long term works at the local resort called the Barcelo. He has a dog named Mostra. Mostra will bark at the drop of a hat and not just once, but incessantly. There is another dog who does not belong to anyone, but is let into the property every night. Together these two idiots manage to keep the entire neighbourhood awake for hours on end. They have the roam of the property too which just makes matters worse. Then there is the internet which can be off for hours if not days. The bedroom windows with bars, but no screens.... The deck with too few cross members causing unsuspecting guests to break through risking life and limb...and those are the good points. This might be a good place for the surfer crowd who doesn't need much sleep and doesn't care much about security, but I don't think most of us qualify for this discription so STAY CLEAR! Oh yea and the pool is dirty too

Stayed in Sunset one month ago with my wife, and we loved it, if you looking for a quiet , and cozy place this is the place to be,
You can save money buying some grocery in the next door store to cook in the fully equipped kitchen. Beach is 2 min walk , at night theres no noise so you can sleep peacefully
Recommend for couples

Great place to stay. Federico treats you like family and the location is great. Excellent place to stay for a surf trip as you're close to Playa Negra, Playa Grande, Avellanas (sp?) etc.

Internet was very reliable which was nice since I had to do some work while down there. Would definitely recommend.

nobody even works at the place. nobody was there to check us in. internet was bad when it worked. place needs serious work. beds are horrible. doors dont really lock. do not stay here. no lights in stairs. Fell down them one night. the deck is falling apart along with everything else. smells bad and mold in room. when it rains all the water comes in. tons of other options around than this place. DO NOT STAY HERE.
