We enjoyed breakfast in the restaurant that shares the site and the massages in the tent on site were fabulous and so well priced. We only wish we could have stayed longer. ![Monkey in the tree in the garden](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/60ea4df1-2286-4fae-9c7a-34440106184e-1767150236429.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Beach out front of the hotel - restaurant seating to the left](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d2d59606-c8d0-489f-973f-41c8fd441598-1767150234205.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edward 8 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Right on the beach with great outdoor space and view of the beach.

I loved the staff and the location but I can’t overlook the condition of my room. I do wish the rooms were better kept, especially the bathroom. Everyone was so nice and friendly I would probably stay there again ##### Arturo Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindy 17 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I love this little hotel!

I would love to stay again sometime! ##### Lindy Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jody 12 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Rolando is an absolute gem! If I could give him higher than a 10/10 rating I would! The whole hotel is a hidden treasure. White sand beach, hammocks, firm comfortable bed, hot water and great water pressure. Patio was glorious for morning coffee or take it to one of the beach loungers. You can watch the waves roll in from your bed. The value is in the location (walk to anything- 10963867ish restaurants, shops, markets etc) CUSTOMER SERVICE ❤️ and Costa Rican authenticity- if you want marble countertops and Gold Coast finishes this place is not for you. However, if you like kind people, a great beach and comfy bed- this is luxury It is enjoyed by those that truly value pura vida living. EVERYONE we met were repeat customers, from 2-10 years returning. Yes, it’s that good. BOOK NOW!! ❤️ ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6f9dca5c-26dd-4fbf-9f51-e369e38533ed-1768179430677.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d1927dd2-7089-4f69-a86e-595be710dc78-1768179453502.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a28ee624-4fc3-4f52-987d-d4cb156e9dce-1768179452628.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jody Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dewayne 26 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Perfect cozy hotel on the beach ##### Dewayne Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Denise 27 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is right on the beach and walking distance to a lot of shops.

The room was cute and quirky. The bathroom is extremely small and cramped… not appropriate for more than one person at a time… but that was the only real downside for us. The bed was large and comfortable and the air conditioner worked great! It was a great choice for us… we stayed 5 nights and filled our days with excursions and hanging at the beach and the many bar options close by. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/25e69338-36ff-4fe0-900f-bd2c09cdf4cb-1753909004080.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/57fa3656-ef90-402b-bf96-95454dedd9b0-1753909000917.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/31d72019-e956-4318-ade8-ab03235c980a-1753909004900.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/147b8f61-eee0-46ed-8b9c-956c8746142b-1753909000324.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tina Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia 29 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful quiet accommodations and walkable to the whole town.
