Hotel La Dolce Vita has comfortable, clean efficiency apartments on the Pacific beach. The area is relaxed, not crowded. I noticed the hotel can hook you up with almost any type of Costa Rican tour, however the beach crowd was largely surfers and boogie borders. It is an excellent surfing spot, but also great place to unwind, read, write, walk. Wifi was great. The apartment has everything you need, well thought out. The AC was very cold. The staff were regular, good local people. A great Costa Rican hotel and you can't beat the price, I know I live down here half the year.
