There were bugs in the bathroom in the sheets and throughout the room. There were only two pillows on each bed and only one minimal sheet. We ended us leaving one night early. ##### Spencer Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara 9 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice family owned business, excellent service, nice pool and air conditioned. ##### Sara Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alejandro 16 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service This is a 2 star hotel , with big rooms , its clean , needs tlc , good for 1 night ##### Alejandro Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Marlo 21 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Arrival: the parking lot is right in front of reception with only one entrance making it easy to find. The Check-in: The check-in was smooth. The lady {whom I believe is the owner} was very polite and walked us to our room and made sure we were content. The Room: The rooms are small but they have a functioning air conditioner which I was very grateful for. The place also comes with a fridge and wifi but the wifi is very hit or miss and we weren’t too far from the receptionist office. The showers functioned as should and really nothing much to say about it. do note that this place does not come with hair products, or body soap but it does come with hand soap bar which I suppose you can use for the shower too. Location: There’s a laundromat, a supermarket, and a lot of restaurants nearby which are very much walking distance but be mindful there are no sidewalks. The beach is about a 5-7 minute drive. Staff: I’ve only spoke to the receptionist. There is another lady there who seems to do the cleaning and walks around with a sour face. I greeted her one time and she looked at me dismissively. I don’t know what her deal was nor do I care to find it but she made us feel like she wasn’t happy having us and that’s where I knocked the 1 star off the rating. Breakfast: The breakfast is simple and more-or-less the same daily — scrambled eggs, rice with beans, 2 small slices of fruits, a small slice of plantain, and bread. All in all, good for short stays and nothing more unfortunately ##### Marlo Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Occidental-Tamarindo-All-Inclusive.h793778.Hotel-Information) > > [El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-El-Mangroove-Papagayo.h6052327.Hotel-Information) > > [Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Planet-Hollywood-Beach-Resort-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h21882911.Hotel-Information) > > [Esperos Mare Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Esperos-Mare-Resort.h6907400.Hotel-Information) > > [W Costa Rica - Reserva Conchal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-W-Costa-Rica-Reserva-Conchal.h24195607.Hotel-Information) > > [Helea Lifestyle Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Helea-Lifestyle-Beach-Resort.h13235646.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Cascais Miragem](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lisbon-District-Hotels-Hotel-Cascais-Miragem.h1343953.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Costa-Rica.h984916.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-The-Westin-Reserva-Conchal.h4151182.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Petit Beaumarchais Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Le-Petit-Beaumarchais-Hotel-Spa.h1273946.Hotel-Information) > > [Skuggi Hotel by Keahotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Skuggi-Hotel-By-Keahotels.h10947140.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lochgoilhead](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lochgoilhead-Hotels.d3000010669.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Royal Victoria & Bull Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dartford-Hotels-The-Royal-Victoria-Bull-Hotel.h18674286.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panama-Beach-Hotels-Occidental-Papagayo-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h659642.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Secrets-Papagayo-Adults-Only.h10650279.Hotel-Information) > > [METT Marbella Estepona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Estepona-Hotels-METT-Hotel-Beach-Resort-Marbella-Estepona.h1765310.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsis Belvedere](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corfu-Hotels-Belvedere-Hotel.h906469.Hotel-Information) > > [Sports Hotels in Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Algarve-Hotels-Adventure-Sport-Hotel.0-0-d182215-tAdventureSportHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Land's End Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penzance-Hotels-The-Lands-End-Hotel.h12432627.Hotel-Information) > > [Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Andaz-Costa-Rica-Resort-At-Peninsula-Papagayo-A-Concept-By-Hyatt.h6476638.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LHR) to Darlington (MME)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/mme/london-to-durham) ### Activities > [Things to do in Bel Ombre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Bel-Ombre.d6047078.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Gloucester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Gloucester.d7479.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Flower Market](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Flower-Market-Amsterdam-City-Centre.d6064677.Attraction) > > [University of Portsmouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/University-Of-Portsmouth-Portsmouth-City-Centre.d6092049.Attraction)
