Decent value for the money. Beach is excellent. Clean but very basic. A coffee machine would really help as there is no sign of life until the restaurant opens later in the day.

We stayed in suite #12 and had a great ocean view. I think the view would have been better in room #11 as it seemed they didnt have as many trees blocking the view. The room had a nice size bathroom with shower that had hot water and pressure as long as they qerent watering plants outside. The room came with a safe, fridge and giant balcony with table and two chairs plus some floor pillows. The linens were stained and ripped but clean and comfortable. Towels need to be updated or have those available to bring to the beach. LOTS of ants, if you plan on keeping food in your room make sure to bring ziploc baggies to keep the ants out. The Red Dor Restaurant downstairs adds such a cool vibe to staying on the balcony which was one of our favorite things to do after sunset. Also lots of iguanas and saw monkeys almost daily. If they updated their linens I would give this facility 4 stars but currently its more of a 3 star hotel with the location and the restaurant downstairs adding in that 3rd star. Easy to walk to downtown/beach pr grab an uber and go. This hotel is on the nice sandy, private end of the beach which is a giant bonus.

Overall a very great place directly on the beach. Far enough from downtown for quiet night, but still pretty close and walking distance (10-15minutes) to all activities and restaurants. Nice owners and staff

The room facing the street is very, very noisy and it has a bunk bed without a safety bar on the top bunk. My two adult boys had to share a twin bed. After suffering for a night, I asked to exchange to a room that has two double beds the next morning and we were given a better room without extra charge. If the story ended here, I would have given a good review. I was given three keys for the new room and there are no labels. So I had to try one by one. When two keys could not enter and the third key was fully inserted, I naturally thought it was the right one and started to turn. The key was broken right away. It turned out to be the safety box key that I inserted. I was not given a replacement key to use for the safety box. And the lady asked me to pay $40 to replace the key and showed me the contract I signed saying it cost $30 for losing safety box key. I did not lose the key and this is a rip off. And this hotel does not give drinking water or anything. No service at all. This hotel is to be avoided. My experience gave me an impression that people in Costa Rica are not friendly at all and all they want from tourists is money without giving any service. The lady deserves a one star review due to her rude face and her effort to rip me off.

Would not stay again
Was told at check in that there was a private party on site and we would be refunded due to the inevitable noise disruptions. Since then, the owner has refused to refund us despite offering to in the first place and has ignored our attempts at communication (she was very welcoming and helpful prior to this). The room itself was basic, which was fine, but the small towels and thin bedding did not appear to be cleaned or they were just extremely old. The mattresses were thin and they sank when you sat on them. I also bruised myself on the wooded bed frame because it stuck out in the limited space. The piping in the bathroom was all out in the open and the toilet leaked on occasion after flushing. There were very few electrical sockets in the room, in fact there was one and it was sticking out of the wall. The room was never cleaned in the three nights that we stayed in, and the owner told us at check in that her cleaning staff may steal our money if we left it out. As such, we put money in the safe (which was key locked, not PIN locked) and $30 still went missing. Finally, the "city view" that was advertised with our room was merely just a view of the street outside. That said, the hotel is on the beach front, iguanas were frequently on site and there is an unaffiliated restaurant attached to the property.
