TERRIBLE

I reserved a room with air conditionning as the temperature was 30 degree C.
At the arrival I was told that I did not reserve a such room. I had to show the reception guy my reservation with air conditionning in order to convince him. Nevertheless he gave me a room without a/c.
Terrible service. He tried to find a mistake on the web site and put the blame to the hotel.com but there was no mistake at all.

I liked that it was right at the ocean.
I didn't like that the air conditioner didn't work properly. The bed had just one thin worn out mattress that offered no support and the springs would poke into your body. I had just one flat sheet and no blankets. When i asked for a couple blankets I received 2 more flat sheets, one of which was a twin and the other a full size, the bed was a king. So the sheets were of little use. The shower was dirty and stained. The controls were loose in the wall and did not work well. The was an open circuit breaker mounted right next to the shower head! The tv had very poor reception and the wifi wad spotted at best. The icing on the cake was having to to listen to a large loud dog barking all night long!!!

A disappointing stay with a wonderful view

The walls here are thin, you can hear the next room. There is a 9pm quiet time curfew here which is strictly enforced. We were finishing up cooking around 10pm in the common kitchen area below the owners quarters when we were splashed with some kind of liquid from his apartment upstairs. We moved our food because this was gross and disturbing. Then shortly thereafter he rudely informed us to shut it down and angrily stomped off. We apologized about not being aware of the early 9pm rule. The wifi never worked, the cable only worked on the last day, and the TV was terrible picture quality when it did work. The staff were cool, the breakfast was great, the view and location are wonderful, however with a 9pm shutdown it felt more like summer kids camp or being 12 again. We were not overly loud or rambunctious. No one was available for checkout, so we left keys with the cook. Most restaurants are open later than 9pm.....

Great little hotel!

Stayed three nights in ground floor room. Bed was comfy, but wifi signal only strong if sitting in chairs outside your door or in breakfast room. Hotel is a waterfront (not beachfront) property, otherwise well situated in Cahuita. Short walk to Playa Blanca and Cahuita National Park, restaurants and nightlife. Hosts were great, breakfast was very good and the resident sloth was very entertaining. Pool and pool shower are COLD, beware! Also the refrigerator in the communal \"hostel kitchen\" was useful for storing our lunch fixings. Parking is quite tight; our fingers were crossed the whole time that no one would put a ding in the rental car.

Place was good enough for a budget stay in Cahuita. Overall wasnt a fan of the town itself. This place is good for short term stay. Shower didn't have a settings control. Room was clean and bed was comfy. Would recommend the air conditioning one. Breakfast was also good.

MAUVAIS RAPPORT QUALITE PRIX

Séjour du 18 au 24 février 2024 -
Côté positif :
- Vue sur l'océan en prenant le petit déjeuner
- 20mn à pied de la playa negra
-10 mn à pied de l'entrée du parc de cahuita
- Climatiseur + ventilateur plafond
-
Côté négatif :
- l'accueil - personne n'était présent à notre arrivée (15h00) - dans la semaine certaines personnes ont attendu plus d'une demi heure avant qu'on les prenne en charge.
- Petit déjeuner vraiment petit ne correspondant pas au prix que nous avions payé pour la chambre.
- Plus petite chambre de notre séjour;
- petit lit de 130cm, avec matelas de 10cm sur une planche de bois - et un drap bien trop petit pour ce petit lit.
- Il faut bien payer le fait d'être en bord de mer à savoir devant l'hôtel il y a un petit port de pêche, et les pêcheurs travaillant de nuit ils arrivent à 2h45 le matin et finissent le tintamare d'mbarquement vers 3h45 cela dépendait des jours. Dommage pour le repos...

No es lo que esperaba.

La cabina que nos dieron no es la que reservé y pagué. Las fotos no se correspondían. Lo comenté y me dijeron que esas cabinas ya no estaban disponibles. La que nos tocó no nos gustó mucho. Elegimos este sitio por las fotos de internet, si no hubiésemos ido a otro sitio porque por ese precio la cabina que nos dieron me pareció cara. El desayuno estupendo y las chicas que limpiaban encantadoras y serviciales. El horario de recepción no se cumplía. 3 veces intentamos hablar con ellos y nunca estaban en la recepción dentro del horario estipulado. Parking dentro de las instalaciones. Pequeña piscina muy de agradecer con el calor.

El hotel se encuentra cerca de la entrada del Parque Nacional de Cahuita, por lo que se puede ir caminando hasta la entrada.
