Completely seamless process from check-in to check-out and every time in between

This was our first time staying at a boutique hotel. We did some research beforehand, and Ola Boutique seemed like a good place to stay. We liked the idea of a small, intimate hotel geared toward experienced travelers. However, before I get into the review, let me share a little background. On our last vacation, we stayed at Hotel Artimide, so I admit that we may be a bit spoiled when it comes to accommodations and the overall vacation experience. Ola Boutique is a small hotel that appears to be relatively new to the hospitality business. Unfortunately, our experience left much to be desired. First, the so-called “free breakfast” was a joke. There were opened jars of jam and peanut butter shared among guests, with serving spoons sticking out of them for everyone to touch. The food was cold or at room temperature, including the milk provided for coffee. If you wanted anything warm, you had to pay extra. Honestly, this was not the kind of breakfast experience we expected. Now, let's move on to the rooms. The room was small, with no table or chairs, very limited electrical outlets (just two—one by the bed and another by the microwave), and no outlets in the bathroom. The lack of basic conveniences made the room feel rather impractical. The bathroom, however, was the biggest concern. The smooth, tiled floor became wet because water sprayed all over it, creating a potential slipping hazard. To make matters worse, the shower controls were broken.

This precious property is located directly on the river and you can hear the waterfalls from the bedroom windows! The sweet sounds of the coquis are like lullabies after a day exploring this treasure. Will stay again.
