The beach isn’t a beach you can lay on but you can see the sunset. It’s not quiet as it’s clientele is just noisy I think and it’s next to a few bars.

Nunca sirvió el wifi del hotel, tuve que compartir el internet desde mi celular a la computadora para poder trabajar. Lo reporté a la recepción, dijeron que ya iban a llamar un técnico pero nunca sucedió. En mi caso, que viajaba por trabajo, el internet era fundamental. Las almohadas y las sábanas tampoco son tan cómodas. Lo positivo es la ubicación, ya que si está en el centro de Quepos y a pocos metros de todo. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katryn 9 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful stay It is a lovely place.

Très spartiate, la chambre. Salle de bains tout aussi spartiate, sans eau chaude, donnant sur la cour intérieure qui sert aussi de parking pour les gros 4x4 qui empestent l'atmosphère de leurs vapeurs de diesel... pas vraiment "Pura Vida"...je ne recommande pas du tout. ##### Serge Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [La Mariposa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-La-Mariposa-Hotel.h119352.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Sicily](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Sicily-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6048323-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Si-Como-No-Resort.h1321388.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in San Francisco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels.d178305.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Belmar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Belmar.h37178213.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Buena Vista Beach Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Buena-Vista-Beach-Villas.h21374429.Hotel-Information) > > [ECOTICA Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Byblos-Resort-Casino.h1449546.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Heliconias Nature Inn & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penas-Blancas-Hotels-Heliconias-Nature-Lodge.h8386216.Hotel-Information) > > [Cloud Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Cloud-Forest-Lodge.h2050850.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Luna Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Luna-Hotel-Spa.h2305532.Hotel-Information) > > [Poas Volcano Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vara-Blanca-Hotels-Poas-Volcano-Lodge.h5259118.Hotel-Information) > > [Parador Nature Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-Parador-Resort-And-Spa.h1752985.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulemar Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Tulemar-Resort.h12685352.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Arenas-Del-Mar-Beachfront-Rainforest-Member-Of-The-Cayuga-Collection.h1484897.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Corcovado Jungle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drake-Bay-Hotels-Casa-Corcovado-Jungle-Lodge.h19460167.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [The Falls Resort at Manuel Antonio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-The-Falls-Resort-At-Manuel-Antonio.h4112811.Hotel-Information) > > [El Remanso Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-El-Remanso-Lodge.h11640675.Hotel-Information) > > [Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Shana-By-The-Beach-Manuel-Antonio.h2351763.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Dublin (DUB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/edi/dub/edinburgh-to-dublin) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Rio de Janeiro (GIG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/gig/london-to-rio-de-janeiro) ### Cars > [Car hire in Puerto de Pollensa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Puerto-De-Pollensa.d4301.Car-Hire-Guide)
