The villas are very cool, we got the one with a kitchen, swam in the pool every evening, enjoyed the free breakfast every morning. Only 2 blocks to the water easy walk. The staff are very personable, had a lot of fun with them, the grounds crew is always working to keep the beautiful grounds maintained and they have a gated covered and secured parking garage.

We had an amazing stay here for our birthday. The property is so beautiful and very well kept. The poolside was perfect, breakfast was included every morning and it was very delicious and made fresh, we ate at the restaurant for dinner, the food and drinks were spot on. The villa (room) was perfect for us and loved waking up everyday to the garden view with surrounding sounds of nature. Oh and perfect location to the playa hermosa beach, just a few meters away. We will absolutely visit here again our next trip

Our family had a terrific time at this lovely property. The beautiful gardens were full of iguana and butterfly sightings and it’s just a 3 min walk to the beach. The included breakfast was quality and the rooms were simple but clean. Our kids loved the pool and we adults found paradise sipping the pina coladas delivered poolside. The private exited parking was also a plus as were the super friendly and helpful staff. Great find!

What an absolute gem of a hotel! The grounds are stunning and well taken care of. Breakfast was great and it was included in the cost of the room. The pool was clean and cool which was great on a hot day. The shower was refreshing with good pressure and the wi-fi was very reliable.

We saw howler monkeys, iguanas and lots of different birds at the property, so make sure you take the time to go for a walk around

My only complaint was that the bed was very hard and with back issues I woke up sore every day. Bring a mattress pad if that is an issue for you.

All good for the price. Nice property, garden is in good conditionnand lovely, so are the rest of the installations. Staff was very nice. I guess the breakfast could use some additional attention, as there is little food, and the quality is below average. It is complimentary though. The rooms could use a bit more furniture and decoration.

Mattresses were terrible and didn’t even have a mattress cover on the bed just a see-through sheet (I checked for bed bugs that’s how grossed out I was). Room itself needed updating, it looked old and shabby. I found more than one long black hair that was definitely not mine in various locations. We got in late and decided to just have dinner at the restaurant it was sub par. I’ve had way better food for less in Costa Rica at the local Sodas (road side restaurants all over Costa Rica). Needless to say breakfast was not impressive either and barely adequate. It also says on the description that a shuttle to and from the airport is free, not the case. We had to pay for a taxi each way which the did kindly set up and confirm so that was nice.

I selected an economy room, which was a good size but very basic. Bed, night table with lamp, refrigerator. 2 windows - one looked out into the indoor parking lot and across to another unit. 2nd window looked out into a hallway. Bathroom was functional but not in good shape. Sink/vanity wobbled as it was not secured properly. Old tap. Shower worked but hot water seemed limited. Water stains on the ceiling, shower doors that didn't slide well. Old and grubby feeling overall. Not worth $176 cad. I stayed at another property at the same price- comfortable room, comfort bathroom, a deck to sit on, windows that looked out over the pool and the gardens.

We had a great vacation in Costa Rica and chose this hotel for our last night because it's near the Liberia airport. The photos online look MUCH nicer than what our room looked like. Our room's window looked into the hotel hallway. The beds were springy and old. The bathroom wall tiles had holes in them. It was not worth what we spent. We stayed at another hotel in Arenal that was amazing for not much more money per night. The only plus is that the staff was friendly.

Would not go here solo as a female.

There are no phones in the room, nor a number to call the front desk for emergency. Had an instance where I was being harassed by another guest and afraid to leave my room to get help. Eventually contacted the front desk and they did escort me to another room away from the other guest, but there was not a chain lock of the door. The next day the morning crew knew nothing about my incident. So no one was looking out for me. The area of the hotel is next to a camping hostel, but there were people sleeping on the beach and road. Overall the location didn't seem safe for solo traveler.

Excellent stay!

The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. On our checkout day we wanted to do a tour in Playa Coco and they held our bags for a few hours. The grounds were well kept. We had a little patio with rocking chairs that was comfortable to sit on while we made plans for the day. The hotel is a block from the beach and the walk is easy. Very close to restaurants and a small market if you need anything. The included breakfast was fresh and tasty. The room itself was a little dated, but it was clean and comfortable. The AC worked well. I'd stay here again if we were in the area.

Disappointed

Disappointed in my stay. The grounds were beautiful. The room, not so much. Good space. The bed and pillows were hard. Only one power outlet and that was next to the refrigerator. No outlet near the bed or in the bathroom. Lighting in the bathroom was dim. Shower temperature was cool. No adjustment. My room was never cleaned during my trip. I booked the double bed non-smoking room. I left a day early. Location was near the beach. Easy walk. Now I know the the reservation was non-refundable.

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The room was dirty and should not have been in use. Andre the front desk person placed me in the room knowing it was not cleaned.

There was water damage on the walls and water came into my room where I slipped in the middle of the night; stains on my sheets and bugs everywhere. Do not waste your money or time.

Room was a little cramped and basic but the grounds were stunning, including the pool. There were iguanas and geckos around and a variegated squirrel in the tree opposite. It was lovely and quiet. It was a short walk down the quiet road to the beach to watch the sunset over the water and we ate dinner in one of the beachfront hotel restaurants. Great start to our holiday.

Staff was excellent! But none of the amenities were available. The room was in a back corner backed up to dirty empty/cosntruction. Mouse poop was on the bed. Sand in the bed sheets. No hot water in the sink and occasionally warm water in the shower. Had to upgrade and even those rooms were rough. This may be a good place to stay for locals, but not tourists. Would not recommend

No frills hotel

Everything was clean, staff were friendly and Playa Hermosa was steps away with a plethora of restaurants to choose from. Very simple and basic place to stay, bed not very comfortable though.

PROS: great location, walk to the beach about 200 yards. Tropical setting. Attentive staff. Restaurants nearby. Convenience store one block away which you will need. Nice pool. CONS: no phone in room have to walk to front desk every time you need something, NO ice machine ON premises. Forget about getting a cocktail at breakfast. They say they have a traditional bar but not really. bartender was missing on a Wednesday night. No hot water in room/bathroom sink. No stopper on sink. No microwave, coffeemaker or hair drier in room. Maintenance workers start making noise ( hammering, saws, tool noise ) at 7am. Restaurant has only three breakfast options. Dinner/Lunch? pizza, spaghetti, ceviche and traditional dish Casado, nothing else, menu is the same for lunch and dinner.

It was a bad start as I had prearranged with the hotel to have transportation at the airport to get me to the hotel. It was confirmed they would. Didn’t happen. Saved myself $20.00 by using a taxi that was already at the airport.
The people were friendly and helpful.
If you’re expecting an included buffet breakfast, sorry to disappoint. It’s limited to 3 choices off a menu. The food is good though. The menu choices for other meals is very limited. I tried each selection and the food was well prepared. Lots of other restaurant choices near by.
If you have a feather top mattress at home, you’re going to have sleep deprivation here. I actually used mine for Pilates one morning. Very thin.
Considering someone is always cleaning there, I can’t explain the black crud on the floor around the bottom of the toilet. The room is very sparse. And if you’re a man that shaves every day or a woman that applies makeup, good luck, the lighting is very poor.
But the grounds are beautiful and immaculate. It’s obvious Raymond takes great pride in looking after them.
The location is very good. A short walk to the beach and a grocery store practically across the road. Excursions don’t have a problem picking you up right at the door.
Would I stay there again? Only if I upgraded to one of their separate huts. I had a chance to look inside one and they are impressive.
Please keep in mind I stayed there for a whole week, not just passing through.

A Fine Choice for the Budget Conscious

It is interesting to read the reviews of this hotel. You have both 2 star and 5 star ratings. The funny thing is as I found both to be accurate. The hotel has both nice grounds AND old rooms. The rooms are clean, but the A/C units are on their last leg. The location is good (5 minute walk to the beach) and bad (a little seedy, but safe). The service was friendly, but staff had limited English language skills. WELL worth a few bucks to upgrade your room. Also, there was a fantastic restaurant, Gingers, that was a 5 minute walk up the street.

At the end of the day, how you feel about this hotel depends on your expectations. It is a hotel for the budget conscious. If you come with high expectations, you will be disappointed. If you come with modest expectations, you will be pleased. I rate it overall 3 stars.

Great property with a small restaurant, a nice pool and hot tubs. The vegetation is absolutely breath taking ! Our room was the only one available at the moment, a little small and could have been more welcoming. A quick 2-3 mins walk to the beach, perfect for the time we had for this town.

The room, grounds and location were all very good. A 5 min walk to the beach, restaurants and a 15 min drive to Coco.The pool was nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the room had a large bathroom. The only suggestion I would make is that the room had no where to hang anything. A few hooks on the wall and hangers would have been nice.

I would come back!!!

My husband and I came for his 40th bday celebration. Our aim was to try and find the nicest, most affordable hotel and this was it!! I have to be honest our room was very basic (we didn't do the nicer suites) but very clean. The staff was so wonderful, all of them so very sweet and helpful. The included breakfast every morning is absolutely worth it, it was so delicious!!! I loved the small pool they had; I even did pilates there for a couple of days!! It's less than a 5 min walk to Playa Hermosa, which is such a beautiful relaxing beach!

The location of this property is perfect...just a short walk to the beach. The villa was perfect, the kitchenette included a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, slow cooker, electric griddle and blender. The staff are incredibly friendly. The breakfast options were somewhat limited, but all tasted great. The grounds were in great shape. There is a small store across the street and a larger market that was a ten minute walk away. The hot water was spotty, but who wants a piping hot shower when it's 35 degrees celsius? Will be back for sure!!

The property is great and close to the beach. Housekeeping and Maintenance were great. Andre at the front desk was polite, but not responsive to our satisfaction.

We arrived two days early and Andre gave us a great walkup rate for the room for nights not booked.

We had booked a budget room, and it was what you would expect for that price category. But, the hot water in our room did not work, and the ceiling fan did not work.

We immediately spoke with Andre at the front desk about the problems and asked to move, but he said there were no open rooms to move us to in our category, but we could pay an extra $50/night to move to an upgraded cabana.

While that was a great price for an upgraded room, we just wanted hot water and a fan for the room we had booked, or to be moved. He told us they would fix the hot water, but the fan was broken. So, nothing for day #1.

We approached Andre on day #2 to let him know we still didn't have hot water. He immediately sent Mario to check it out. Mario knew what the problem was, but couldn't fix it until the next day. We asked Andre again to move rooms, but no.

On day #3 we FINALLY had hot water, and of course the ceiling fan still didn't work.

So, bottomline, the property is great...our room was not. If they had moved us to ANY room, this would be a 5-star review.

There were plenty of open rooms during our stay as evident by the front doors being wide open, and an offer to pay more for an upgrade.

We won't stay here again. YMMV.

The property itself is beautiful, close to the beach with lush greenery and a serene vibe. Be aware though that the ‘economy’ rooms are verrrrrry sparse. I can’t say anything about the other rooms but I would highly recommend avoiding the economy option even if it saves a few bucks.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! We are three young girls. We had items stole from our suitcase and had a naked man try and break into our room in the middle of the night. The naked man then passed out outside our room. We got a hotel staff, they told him to be quiet and then left him there! They let him sleep naked outside our room all night. When we complained in the morning the staff said it was ok because he didn’t actually get into the room. Completely unacceptable. Do not stay here!

We stayed in one of the villas, and we very comfortable. The property is a short walk (a couple of minutes) from the beach at Playa Hermosa, which has amole sand, shade, and good snorkeling at the north end of the beach.

The property is a bit older, but doesn't feel touristy. Don't expect a 5 star experience, but you will be comfortable. The bed was comfortable for my wife and I. But realize there is no concierge, shuttle service, or bell hop service. But the staff are very friendly, as are the locals. So, if you're looking for a more authentic Costa Rican stay, this fits that well.

The grounds are beautiful, and the pool is nice and warm.

The morning breakfast was very good. You get a choice of an American breakfast, and Costa Rican breakfast, or a made to order omelet. All the coffee you can drink, and fresh fruit too!

The property was fantastic. Well kept, lots of iguana to watch, pool was clean with lots of shade for the hot afternoons.
I would have hoped for a better bed in the room tho. I could feel the springs! I think a fan would have been nice too as the ac was required, but was too cold at night. We didn’t stay in the cabinas so our room was a nice walk through the beautiful grounds. (Long way to get a cold refreshment while by the pool). A community fridge near the pool would have been top notch ;). The location was great, close to beach, food and entertainment. Would stay again.

The hotel did not honor our reservation request for a king bed claiming that there was no availability. There were very few people at the hotel so we did not understand this problem. Room on the second floor smelled moldy so glad that we ended up with a ground floor room.

Property is really pretty! Doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you get into the grounds, it's lovely. Beds are comfortable enough for a short-term stay. Close to the beach. Breakfast was included. Food in the area is touristy so don't expect much, but we enjoyed walking to Ginger and their food was great for dinner! I only wish the place had chairs for the beach for rent that you could use!
