Excellent location by a beautiful beach with people enjoying the weekend. But it is peaceful and empty during the week, especially heading west for 10 minutes, where you walk along a thin strip of coastline between the ocean and the jungle, seeing rock outcroppings, birds, and surf while hearing all sorts of sounds from nature.

Best location in town of Esterillos Oeste for beach access, beach chairs, and awesome surfing from beginners to intermediate longboarding. Fantastic breakfasts every day with fresh fruits, variety and awesome Costa Rican 🇨🇷 coffee ☕️. Cool and fresh pool and all the needed room amenities: including Wifi, beds, TV, kitchenette w/ frig... and nice dresser, etc. Joe Kernan, Park City Utah 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

Nice, friendly owners. Only 7 units and the people who stay here seem to all like staying at unique out of the way places. Esterillos Oeste is an out of the way place but there are many expats living here. Nice breakfast brought to you each morning. No running hot water available but it's usually so warm outside, isn't much of an issue. I would stay here again.

The room needs to be upgraded. Many stains or burns on the counter. Old cabinets and floor had stains or dirt on it. I didn’t use the shower. The pool was nice and the location on the ocean was nice.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécier l’accueil et la bonne humeur de tous personnels. Même sur la ils veillaient à installer nos chaises longues et les changer de place ou placer le parasol pour nous protéger du soleil. Super bon déjeuner apporter à notre appartement tout les matins, œufs apprêtés de façon différente avec rôti et confiture, différent fruit. Café et jus d’orange. Personnel et les autres touristes toujours souriant ! Très apprécié notre séjour !

Les déjeunés sont bons complets et diversifiés. Le personnel est attentionné quand ils sont sollicités. Les équipements sont un peu désuets et certains (chaises) brisés. Endroit agréable sur le bord de la plage. En général très tranquille mais malheureusement bruyant le vendredi et samedi soir a cause d'un karaoké tout près.

Guter Aufenthalt/Preisleistungsverhältnis

Einfach eingerichtetes, sauberes, zweckmässiges Apartement direkt am Strand. Die Gastgeber sind freundlich und man sieht, dass die Hotelanlage welche doch schon älter ist unterhalten wird. Küche ist uralt, welche wir aber nicht benutzt haben. Einfaches gutes Frühstück welches persönlich serviert wird.
