I would highly recommend staying at Guanacaste Lodge! It is a simple, older property that you can see is very well maintained. The room and property are extremely clean and comfortable. The hostess is very sweet and helpful and the breakfast is super! There is no shade at the pool or lounge chairs in midday so be prepared for extremely hot! There are covered tables for picnic. Super close to Playa Flamingo and very good food. Ate at the Tiki and Pleamar, both very good food & service and very close to the lodge.

It was a pleasant experience. The room was comfortable. It had air conditioning. The pool was clean. The breakfast was traditional. There was in the evening a type of ants climbing on the walls inside our room, The management didn’t care. They didn’t bother us while we were sleeping. It wasn’t a high-end place, but it was nice. It wasn’t close to any towns, but it was OK.

The staff was courteous and kind. The room was ready when we arrived - which we appreciated. However, we didn’t have much soap, no shampoo. The showers didn’t work properly. The beds were comfortable. The property was well maintained. The pool was nice. Breakfast was good: eggs, rice, yogourt, toasts and fruit. Coffee was hot. Tang juice was offered.

Guanacaste is a fantastic spot to stay if you’re looking for spotlessly clean rooms, impeccably accommodating and friendly staff, and a great pool to cool off in. The place and rooms are a bit dated but very obviously taken care of and maintained by the family that live there. Room air con worked great and kept us cool for sleeping. The breakfast is simple but very tasty and homemade. The only downside is it wasn’t as close to the beach as we initially thought, but we discovered lots of nice beaches and restaurants (el tiki and amigos y tacos were particularly awesome), due to having to trek around town! Would highly recommend if you are looking for a reasonably priced and very comfortable stay. Muchos gracias!

This is a nice little lodge within the Flamingo/Potrero area. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the included breakfast was adequate. Definitely I would recommend this if you´re looking for a good place to stay without breaking the bank.
