We were there for a week in August 2011 as a family of 4. We had an apartment so we would not have to go to restaurant every day. It was cheap but for a reason. They never came to clean or get the garbage and we had to ask for clean and dry towel more than once. We stayed... More

This was our second to last hotel stop on a two week vacation across Costa Rica. What a nightmare. The entire room was covered in ants. Lighting was dark and depressing. It felt like a jail cell. The only redeeming quality was the ocean side restaurant.

We stayed in front of the place on the beachfront; Massimo told us that the beds are free so we stayed the whole day having drinks and lunch. Janeth makes the best clubsandwiches in Costa Rica! I cannot comment on the rooms but the ambiance on the beach was great!

This place really is right on the beach, yet it is quiet at night. Our room was spacious and had everything we needed: comfy beds, a fridge, a bathroom, and a front patio with chairs. We didn't once find the need to eat off site as the restaurant at the hotel was really wonderful and we quickly fell in love... More

We stayed only 1 night in this hotel during our trip to Costa Rica. We wanted a place right on the beach, and were impressed by the inexpensive rates here. The room was not air conditioned, but the heat was manageable with the fan in the room. The rooms were clean and quiet, but there were a few minor problems... More

We were very happy with our stay here. Maurizio the Italian owner was very helpful, welcoming and always assured that all of our needs and questions were met. The rooms are newly remodeled and very very lovely and clean. We ate at the restaurant almost every day for lunch and dinner and the entire time we felt very welcomed. The... More

Disregard the previous reviews of this place as it has been recently taken over by two Italians. Max speaks excellent English and is really helpful - he negotiated our taxi off to Mal Pais (well worth a visit if you get a chance). The rooms are fairly basic and there isn't anywhere to hang clothes however they are clean and... More
