Close to the beach!
Good breakfast.
Andre did an excellent job of getting a good taxi ride for us to the airport for 4AM.
Staff had great excursion knowledge only downside was they don’t take credit card for excursions-bring USA cash for those.

The pool is not large but although the hotel was quite busy pool access was good. The grounds are kept beautiful and the staff are all very nice. One street back from the beach so no sea view, but could hear the waves and easily reach the beach.
The villa we had was great even if the furnishings are a bit old.

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.

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 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. I asked for an upgraded room because the standard room was horrible. 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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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).

I booked this property specifically because it says it has a $40 airport shuttle available.

It does not. They were accommodating and arranged a taxi without any issues, but the cost was $60 as opposed to the $40 I expected to spend.

Besides that, the grounds are absolutely spectacular. The pool is nice and quiet. The location is steps away from the beach.

I did not stay in one of the villas, which looked really cute. I was in room 17 at the back of the property which I wouldn't recommend. It's basically a box with a not particularly comfortable bed and doesn't have the nice outdoor seating areas as the other accommodations.

PROS: Location is good, just a couple of minutes to the beach. Balcony was nice and the room was a good size with cold AC. Property has a lot of character and charm with the exposed wood ceilings and unique villa units. Towels were clean and soft and the room was pretty clean on check-in. Landscaping is being well maintained. There was a newer mini-fridge in the room. Free breakfast was decent although somewhat difficult to order.

CONS: Staff were very friendly and tried their best to help, but this was the only place in Costa Rica we had a major language barrier. Presumably because of this, we got no directions to our room or parking, or WiFi info. Bed Linens were not soft (too much plastic in them) and hot water for the shower didn't work (there is also no hot water at the sinks, which is common). Parking is on-site but requires you to drive back to the main highway, down a bit, and then back down a gravel road. It's a tiny lot with tandem spots so there's a risk you get blocked in or can't open your car door. Our toilet didn't flush but this was fixed on the 2nd day. Note that you can't put toilet paper in the toilets (the only location in CR we encountered this). The hotel restaurant/bar doesn't seem to have reached the critical mass of customers required to offer standard service or drink availability (we couldn't get a vodka soda and the only server left the property after dropping off our canned beers).

For the price, probably wouldn't stay here again.

We stayed in this hotel for couple of nights during the Christmas holiday. Our flight got canceled so our extended 2-day stay in Costa Rica was unplanned. I booked the hotel through Expedia. The Front Desk person was very nice and she was able to check us in even we were an hour early from their check in time. The surroundings and grounds are well kept. Pool is clean and nice. They have iguanas that roams in the acacia trees, which were amusing to watch. There's also plenty of birds and butterflies everywhere. The rooms were very dated, needing major upgrade, but they are clean. The location was great, it's a short walk to the beach! The restaurant in this hotel serves delicious food! We had breakfast (which came with the room) and we also had dinner (great pizza and Angus burger). We will definitely stay in this hotel again. Everyone is super nice, friendly, and the vibe was great!

A great place a few steps from the beach and a comfortable and inexpensive place to stay before our flight from Liberia the next day.

The staff was incredibly friendly but the rooms are VERY dated, we did not have hot water and the bed was extremely hard.

It was just ok.

Bed was almost painful. Breakfast was only 7-9 and because I was there at 6:45 she didn’t even offer me a cup of coffee, very culturally unusual. The whole experience was just ok. Recommended my friend go elsewhere next week.
