We stayed here for a night prior to flying back home. It was just what we needed - pool, restaurant, breakfast. It’s a smaller hotel, and really cute - it doesn’t have that generic hotel feel to it.
My only complaint is that the beds were as hard as a board, but we were all exhausted so it didn’t matter. It could’ve been an issue if staying multiple nights though.
They also offer a free shuttle to the airport and since we were leaving before breakfast, they packed us a little snack to take to go.

Always our favorite stay as a family. The staff is very accommodating, friendly and welcoming!
The pool is a huge plus, a nice little area for smaller kids, plus the hot tub for when it’s chilly out!
The food is also always so delicious, and the free breakfast is a can’t miss!

Just what we needed to wrap up our trip and be conveniently close to the airport. The front desk and restaurant staff were outstanding—friendly, attentive, and professional. The pool and hot tub were a great bonus, and the airport shuttle made everything easy. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Justo lo que necesitábamos para terminar nuestro viaje y estar convenientemente cerca del aeropuerto. El personal de recepción y del restaurante fue excelente: amable, atento y profesional. La piscina y el jacuzzi fueron un gran extra, y el transporte al aeropuerto hizo todo muy fácil. Las habitaciones son amplias y cómodas. Sin duda nos hospedaríamos aquí nuevamente.

The staff the first day of my stay were very good and attentive. Unfortunately, the evening staff and staff the next day were not attentive to customers and provided poor service. In the restaurant, the first day service was good and friendly. The service declined by the evening and next day. The service was very slow and the food was mediocre at best. The first day the pool area was quiet and relaxing. The second day was the opposite. a couple of groups of guests, who appeared to be friends with the owners, arrived and took over the pool area. They were loud and disruptive. They played their music loud and talked over the music. The decor of the hotel seemed tired.

We chose this hotel because of its proximity to the airport as on arrival we got in late and on departure we left early. The shuttle to the airport is free, and they had a very decent takeaway breakfast ready for us when we departed for the airport at 6:00am. The “pack and play” was all set up for our infant granddaughter. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is quite good. We enjoyed delicious tuna tartare and fish and shrimp ceviche. The burger was good too.

When Expedia messed up my reservation (confirmed to me they had booked the two rooms I wanted but actually booked only one! Won’t use Expedia again!), the lovely staff at Adventure Inn came through and rescued the situation. They upgraded us to a larger room and put us on their wait list for a second room - and when we got there (tired after a long plane ride and with a very tired 8-month old), there was a second room for us. At their suggestion, we had preordered some dinner (as their restaurant closes at 9:30), and we enjoyed it in one of their pleasant communal seating areas. Being so close to the airport, this was the perfect place for us to spend our first night in Costa Rica, before setting out the next day on the long drive to Manuel Antonia.

Cute and quaint hotel with a lovely staff who accommodated my needs without hesitation. Very clean and the pool area is nice. The breakfast was nice. Wish they had a vegan option on the breakfast menu which included avocado since meat or Ed’s were not an option (otherwise it’s just carbs - gallo pinto and plantain). Fruit were great. Wish they also offered plant cased milk for coffee. I ended up buying soy milk but no fridge (without a fee). I had to navigate to get a gluten free and vegan plate. The rooms are clean and lovely but the smell of chlorine was very strong and bother me. I kept the windows open and fan on to try and dissipate it. Would have liked tea in the rooms as an option (I did ask). They accommodated my departure time which was awesome. The gym should have a cooler and larger space. It is very very hot as the sun shines in without curtains. And the equipment is jammed packed inside what is also a storage room (there were cots stored there). I ended up going to use the gym elsewhere but that was an important feature for me when booking. The lovely reading room I didn’t use but felt it was quaint. Mostly quiet which was awesome except for adjacent rooms that kept their door open to visit with each other. I ended up asking them to close their doors and told the front office. I’d stay there again as I enjoyed walking to a few eating places and felt it was safe and convenient. And again the staff was very friendly. And the fruit was luscious.
