Very friendly staff and good breakfast! Rooms were just as advertised. The location was close to super markets, restaurants and a good 45 drive to Tamarindo beach. The staff was very responsive and took care of our dietary needs(vegetarian) during breakfast. The staff also quickly took care of the hot water issue we had in our room and promptly provided another room. As we barely knew spanish, we were able to use Google Translate to communicate with the staff.

It’s a comfortable and enjoyable place to stay. The pool is great, and there are hammocks beneath the coconut trees, perfect for unwinding. The air conditioning works well, though there’s no refrigerator in the room. Still looking forward to trying the continental breakfast, but expectations are high.

Room maintenance is poor, hotel did no have extra towels so we needed to wait for the used towels to be washed!, used couchings on the beds that clearly are not washed!, breakfast was single choice, not even could select type of eggs you wanted. Even parking was not marked. Overall minimum effort to maintain property and customer service.
