The rooms are behind a restaurant, keeping it quieter.

The water is beautiful and warm. We went swimming at night, it was great. The staff was very nice, just didn't seem very knowledgeable. Breakfast was great also. There is a shower by where there park the cars to rinse off from the ocean. ##### stephanie Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Wade 28 Dec 2024 Liked: Staff & service #### Hotel Alden Pura Vida Our room was clean and had towels.

Very basic but clean. Not a luxury option but very satisfactory and great price for quality. The staff was super and very friendly and knowledgeable. Food was good and breakfast was a nice variety. A great option should we visit again.

A kind person asked if we needed help and gave us google translated directions for where the hotel actually was, 1 km away. Once we got there, everything went well with check in and accommodations. ##### Bela Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Nicole 17 Sept 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is across from the beach and free breakfast included, however bathrooms in poor shape and beds uncomfortable with only one sheet to sleep with.

I was disrespected by owner for being an assertive woman. Constantly calling another person to solve simple issues. One time visit, no return patron. Not happy. ##### Marina Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Marie 15 May 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Property was not clean at all. Property needs a lotttt of repairs to bring it up to bare minimum standard. Room and bathroom was very small. Room had smeared black marks on walls, and they had a very strong smell due to mof balls they have in room and bathroom. They have people living there and we’re very loud at night so we could not sleep. We had to buy ice at the restaurant to have cold water. no amenities in the room. No parking so we parked road side and walked to the hotel. I would never stay at this property again. ##### Marie Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### MARICELA 19 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities They clean the rooms and surrounding areas with undiluted pledge which gives the smell of harsh varnish that permeated the room for the two nights. One faucet for shower and sink with water that is hardly warmer than room temperature. Although the room was clean. The quality of said room was subpar. Poor quality for the $50usd a night. Far too expensive. A makeshift door for the bathroom for instance. Very thin sheets. Two pillows, two towels. The toilet hardly flushed and got clogged (toilet paper was never placed in toilet). Pro? It was near the water. ##### MARICELA Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Norma 18 Mar 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Horrible No tenía higiénico, ni jabón de manos, el baño muy sucio, realmente no fue una buena experiencia ##### Norma Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CARLOS 10 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Muy amables, excelente atención ##### CARLOS Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Clency 20 Aug 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cálida - Precio es Caro Me presenté al hotel y la Srita de Recepción me cobraron $15 más caro de cómo estaba en las aplicaciones . Por lo que eligi está aplicación para realizar mi reserva , la habitación tenía muy mal olor y la cama tenía pulgas o purrujas que me tenían toda picada . En la tarde se me apeteció un café en el restaurante del hotel por lo que fui a comprarlo y para mí sorpresa me dijeron que no había café , asombroso que Costa Rica no tenga café donde los ticos somos conocidos por ser cafeteros . Lo que es el desayuno es de baja calidad y solo te sirven una Taza de café . Por lo que opté no reservar más e irme aún lugar más cómodo y con café.
