Is not a fancy hotel. however, has everything you need, clean, good air conditioning and hot water. Pool is perfect, walk easy to the beach. Restaurant and bar near the pool. The restaurant has good food but not a big selection but you always can order out to be deliver. Do not let the entrance turn you off. Is a really good small hotel.

Walk right to the beach. Super friendly and helpful staff. Free breakfast was great! They give you a beach towel when you check in, which was great because we forgot ours. Beach was amazing. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Hotel isn’t over populated, nice cozy feel. Hot water and strong AC. Would definitely return!

The property is a little dated. But well maintained. Staff was freindly and helpful. Setting was picturesque. I liked the fact it was slightly off the beaten path, but less than a $5 uber ride from the heart of the night life. Only negative I would give is I would have liked to have gad a deadbolt option on door.

Nothing postive to say about this property. From we arrived service was horrible. Check in didnt go well. Food prices at hotel was more than the 5 star hotel we ended up staying at. Their were roaches and lizards in the room. We were in Costa Rica so understood there might be crawlers in the room. Hotel was old and not well maintained. We only had one light functioning in the room. We had pizza the first night and put box outside room after. Empty box was not collected for 3 days. We ended up discarding it ourselves. I travel the world and stay at mamy hotels and have to say this was the worst hotel i ever stayed at.

I enjoyed my stay overall, mainly because of the amazing location—being right by the beach was definitely a highlight! The bar staff and servers were super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. However, the front desk service wasn’t as warm or helpful, which was a bit disappointing. The accommodations could also use some updates—the room felt a bit outdated, and the towels weren’t the best quality. That said, the beach access and the vibe at the bar made up for some of the downsides. With a few improvements, this place could be a real gem!
