"Unfortunately, our stay was very disappointing. The floors were visibly dirty and disgusting, the bed sheets had noticeable stains, and there was no hot water during our stay. The staff were also difficult to find at check-in, as they were by the pool rather than at the entrance. We understand that Costa Rica is a Spanish-speaking country and have no issue with that, but for a hotel located near the airport, we expected at least some basic English communication to assist with check-in and hotel...

"The property accidentally overbooked. The owner personally came out to apologize and also gave me a ride after calling the closest hotel that I assume is an affiliate and getting me another room. At the same time, he was very nice and telling me to come back and have their breakfast, which was much better than the other hotels. If youā€™re looking for a place with good breakfast to start your trip or to hold you through your entire trip this is the place."
