There was no working restaurant nor bar. Breakfast was yogurt and granola, opening at 8 AM. It is close to the beach.

The hotel is terribly noisy. We had a room with No a/c, the ceiling fan was not strong enough to make a difference, the room was very hot. Hard and noisy bed. We were suppose to stay 3 nights, we stayed 1 and moved to an other place. Greg, one of the staff member was great and understanding, he reimbursed us what he could. ##### Nancy Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Robert 15 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Let me start by saying that the gentlemen that were there for reception and maintenance were outstanding, professional, helpful and expedient in fixing things that are wrong. This is not a 5 star hotel but it is clean and in an excellent location. We had some trouble with our first room because the ceiling had leaks. The next morning we talked to Brian at reception and he immediately found us another room. You have to realize though that the rainfall at that time was the most they had had in decades. They were up on the roof that afternoon repairing it. The new room we had was perfect. Any time we had a question Brian or Guillermo were right on top of it answering it or helping us. I would highly recommend this hotel. We had A/C, private shower and toilet and the hotel is within a 10 minute walk to numerous restaurants. So you know though there is only cold water showers. Not bad after a hot day though! ##### Robert Stayed 10 nights in Nov 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Denis 13 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The facility is a little weathered, but the staff is outstanding. ##### Denis Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rodney 2 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities As always, I had a great time there. ##### Rodney Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Jason 25 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice Stay Front desk was very helpful, letting us know the best spots to go for our needs ##### Jason Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### DECLAN 12 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The events at the bar area were great, live music and maple on another night! ##### DECLAN Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emmanuel 15 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Grate location ##### Emmanuel Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 28 Dec 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Not bad location but dont stay here if you want to get rest. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Marc S. 19 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities It's near the beach, but not on it and a short walk to downtown. With a little work it could be a nice place. Something that seems low rent is when there is no cover on the light fixture, only a bare light bulb on the ceiling. No hot water or A/C, but the room was well designed for flow through ventilation and the fan was adequate for cooling. The toilet leaked around the base which was a bit nasty when you think about it. Small rooms which is fine for one person, but would be crowded for two. All that said, I would have stayed a second night, but got a really good deal at another, much nicer hotel. ##### Marc S. Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Kevin 4 Mar 2025 Disliked: Amenities The staff were friendly and helpful. The WIFI worked without interruptions. The shower gave cold water only and you could not sit straight on the toilet. The bathroom was too small. ##### Kevin Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### John 25 Mar 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The bathroom is extremely small and there is no hot water (by design). The rooms have an open cinder block along the ceiling that easily lets in bugs and noise. Also, the hotel is next to a night club that blast music through the once quiet neighborhood until 2am. People tend to meet at the hotel courtyard after the club closes. ##### John Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Cynthia 14 Apr 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities No AC, Fans old AND dirty, drinks at bar pricey ##### Cynthia Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Cory 22 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Bathroom was tiny. Very tiny. No hot water which is to be expected here. Hotel was very loud with other guests and security was lacking. Good for a quick bed on your travels. ##### Cory Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Tranquilo Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drake-Bay-Hotels-The-Tranquilo-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36517873.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Amavi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Amavi.h103597450.Hotel-Information) > - [La Quinta Sarapiqui Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarapiqui-Hotels-La-Quinta-Sarapiqui-Lodge.h18261717.Hotel-Information) > - [Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Oxygen-Jungle-Villas.h6042557.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > - [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > - [Toad Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arenal-Hotels-Toad-Hall-Hotel.h11685037.Hotel-Information) > - [Natural Drake Bay Hotel Boutique](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drake-Bay-Hotels-Natural-Drake-Bay-Boutique-Hotel.h100431716.Hotel-Information) > - [Costa Paraiso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Costa-Paraiso.h38744058.Hotel-Information) > - [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > - [Arenal Waterfall Lodge Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-GreenLagoon-Arenal-Waterfall-Villas.h1823811.Hotel-Information) > - [La Cusinga Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-La-Cusinga-Lodge.h9711849.Hotel-Information) > - [Lapa Rios Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Lapa-Rios-Lodge.h1447895.Hotel-Information) > - [Ecolirios Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Guacimo-Hotels-Ecolirios-Boutique-Hotel-And-Spa.h32864539.Hotel-Information) > - [Costa Rica Surf Camp by SUPERbrand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Costa-Rica-Surf-Camp-By-SUPERbrand.h17702230.Hotel-Information) > - [Tiki Villas Rainforest Lodge & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Tiki-Villas-Rainforest-Lodge-Spa.h8126251.Hotel-Information) > - [Macaw Lodge ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carara-Hotels-Macaw-Lodge-An-Authentic-Ecolodge.h6778240.Hotel-Information) > - [Santa Juana Lodge and Nature Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Santa-Juana-Lodge-And-Nature-Reserve.h10501821.Hotel-Information) > - [Iguana Lodge Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Iguana-Lodge-Spa-Beach-Resort.h6882446.Hotel-Information) > - [Chayote Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naranjo-Hotels-Chayote-Lodge.h9716642.Hotel-Information) > - [El Remanso Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-El-Remanso-Lodge.h11640675.Hotel-Information) > - [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > - [Casa Luna Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Luna-Hotel-Spa.h2305532.Hotel-Information) > - [Hideaway Rio Celeste](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Katira-Hotels-Hotel-Rio-Celeste-Hideaway.h3858533.Hotel-Information) > - [Cabañas del Rio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Cabanas-Del-Rio.h22951676.Hotel-Information) > - [Cristal Ballena Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Cristal-Ballena-Boutique-Hotel-Spa.h1386896.Hotel-Information) > - [Maquenque Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boca-Arenal-Hotels-Maquenque-Eco-Lodge.h4147006.Hotel-Information) > - [Vista Ballena](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Vista-Ballena.h10617842.Hotel-Information) > - [Villas Rio Mar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Villas-Rio-Mar.h66109.Hotel-Information) ---
