Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated close to downtown activities and the beach. Rooms were unfortunately noisy due to their location next to a busy bar, and water restrictions have impacted the care quality since December 2015.
The hotel offers cosy rooms with AC, fridge, and mini kitchenette. The rooms are clean but the decor appears tired. The price is affordable but the rooms are small, not very comfortable, and exposed to loud noise. There are no compensations or considerations for the water restrictions in place since December 2015 for hotels without wells.
The hotel is perfectly situated steps away from the beach and bustling downtown activities with spacious rooms ideal for a Tico-local and a poor college student duo traveling on a budget. The service is top-notch, with a few quirks, and the convenient location shines at night. However, some areas would benefit from a little TLC to freshen up the property's appeal.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location couldn't have been better, just steps away from the beach and right in the heart of all the downtown activities. The rooms were lovely, equipped with a mini-kitchen, large bathroom, and even TV channels in both English and Spanish. The closed-in balcony areas were a real bonus, providing plenty of space for both relaxation and practical needs. While the owners could freshen up a few things around the property, these small details didn't overshadow the fantastic experience.
The hotel's location is superb, just a block away from the beach and the main street filled with restaurants and shops. The rooms, while basic, suited my needs perfectly. The service was outstanding, with welcoming staff including their adorable dog and cat. However, the loud discobar nearby could be bothersome. Overall, a convenient and friendly stay.
Staying in these cabana-style rooms on the advice of our friend Gilbert, a local Tico, was a charming experience with great music. The location couldn't be better, just steps away from the beach and close to downtown activities, but it could use some freshening up in certain areas.
