Would definitely stay again. The staff were all great, there were many restaurants within a couple minute drive, and the beach was beautiful and quiet. Sand quality is not as good as some others, but there are dozens of beaches within 5-10 minutes or so. Rooms were spacious and as clean as you can really get on a tropical beach.

Nice rooms, we only missed a refrigerator, breakfast was okay. Not the most beautiful beach in Costa Rica and we were in the windy season. And it was very, very windy. Other beaches w/o wind you can reach by car in 10 minutes. Restaurants are also close by.

Really worth the price

We really liked our night at the hotel. We were staying during rain season and the roof of our room started to leak. I contacted the front desk via WhatsApp and they immediately moved us to another room with no issue. It is worth the price, and it was really clean. The restaurant was really good, much more than what we were expecting. Local traditional food, not extraordinary but very tasty and pleasant. It was perfect for a short stay!
