Very friendly staff and good breakfast! Rooms were just as advertised. The location was close to super markets, restaurants and a good 45 drive to Tamarindo beach.

The staff was very responsive and took care of our dietary needs(vegetarian) during breakfast. The staff also quickly took care of the hot water issue we had in our room and promptly provided another room.

As we barely knew spanish, we were able to use Google Translate to communicate with the staff.

It’s a comfortable and enjoyable place to stay. The pool is great, and there are hammocks beneath the coconut trees, perfect for unwinding. The air conditioning works well, though there’s no refrigerator in the room. Still looking forward to trying the continental breakfast, but expectations are high.

Room maintenance is poor, hotel did no have extra towels so we needed to wait for the used towels to be washed!, used couchings on the beds that clearly are not washed!, breakfast was single choice, not even could select type of eggs you wanted. Even parking was not marked. Overall minimum effort to maintain property and customer service.

Hotel d’escale pour nous. Situe entre deux grandes surfaces. Piscine un peu vieillissante. Type un peu motel américain avec des escales pour les routiers.
En bord de route.
Petit déjeuner et restaurant le soir à l’hôtel partenaire à côté . Très bon. Attention on parle un peu moins anglais dans la region( notamment le soir au restaurant. Conditions de voyage: hors saison

Propiedad descuidada, vieja y sucia.
Es más una \"cabina\" que un hotel pero mantiene buen precio. sobre todo para pasar la noche.
Ropa de cama y paños muy viejos, la cortina del baño es de plástico y tiene moho. El servicios sanitario de la habitación no funcionaba ( y ellos lo sanían pues le tenían cerrada la llave de paso de agua) .
Desayuno incluido OK

Sobrevalorado! El parqueo con poca iluminación, es un hotel muy viejo, estaba lleno de mosquitos, el lavatorio se salía todo el agua y se inundaba el baño, habían pelos en la ducha y un jabón usado. Las camas súper duras, el aire acondicionado no enfriaba. Contactamos a la recepción para reportar el daño y nunca llegaron a resolver la avería. Realmente no recomiendo este lugar pésima experiencia y sobrevalorado.
