We stayed for 4 nights. The room was very clean and comfortable but the water pressure in our second floor room was often too low to take a shower, depending upon the time of day. Not good. More

He gave us great advice and even set us up with a zip lining tour in Arenal. We even arrived to Jaco a bit earlier than our reservations and Amapola was able... More

We spent about 6 nights at Amapola in March/11 and noticed several improvements since we were last there in 2008. Most notably, the water pressure has improved considerably and the supply of hot water is more than adequate. As well, a large generator has been installed, and this eliminated any impact from a fairly long power outage that affected the... More

Service was good, the rooms were very clean and nicely furnished with a small balcony - we all had a rooms overlooking the pool., Although the hotel is a little removed from the main strip, it is therefore...

We spent two nights at the Amapola Comfort as part of our Caravan Tour in January 2007. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and, from the exterior, the buildings look great. Unfortunately, the interior of the rooms left a lot to be desired. In our bathroom, the paint on 3 walls was peeling heavily, not just minor damage. The fixtures were... More
