“Cool spot but kinda outta the center but not by much”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 29, 2011 via mobile

I enjoyed my stay here. The pool was cool amd there was a ton of wild life around the hotel. We saw sloths, monkeys, frogs and all kinds of birds. It was also right in the entrance to the park.

“Disappointing end of a wonderful holiday in Costa Rica”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 25, 2011

After spending a wonderful 2 weeks in Costa Rica we ended our trip with 2 nights at this hotel and were disappointed. Everyone else before was so friendly and ready to help while staff here didn't appear to care much for their guests. In addition, the rooms lacked taste in decoration and were not practical (especially bathrooms: no place to hang a towel, etc.)

“Great Holiday :)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 17, 2011

Recommended by our cab driver, we lucked out with this hotel. Great location a block from the beach, had everything we needed. Room was small but we choose this one, clean, cozy. Alan the hotel manager and owners son was Wonderful, he gave us anything and everything we asked or needed. The hotel pool, restaurant, breakfast all top notch. Would come back here again in a Heartbeat. In the heart of it all, a must try.

“definitely not worth it, especially the restaurant”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed April 25, 2011

The rooms are ok but small, it would be maybe ok, if you’re at the first floor, or at the back of the reception. But other rooms are actually on the parking, like in the motel. No intimacy at all. Service definitely not good. From them all (met at least 6 personnel members - just one waiter was nice). Quite poor breakfast and the restarant really is not worth trying. Much much nicer and more fresh food in the area for the same or lawer price. Not to recommend. A plus of this hotel is the location. It is very close to the park and the beach.
