    Beautifully landscaped hotel close to Flamingo Beach. Enjoyed and appreciated the breakfast that included fresh fruit plate, toast and scrambled eggs with rice and beans. We utilized the table and chairs on the patio outside our door several times during our stay. Beds are comfortable and appreciated the hot shower.

    The reception is not 24/7 and unfortunately, we forgot to say that we will be leaving early in the morning, so we had to wake the lady up. When your neighbours are sitting on the terrace, every word can be heard inside

    There is a huge parking lot in front of the hotel, which is fenced off, so your car is protected. The accommodation area is large, the receptionist is really very nice. The room was very nice, spacious, and had all the equipment we needed.

    Nothing! All was great!

    Beautiful property, close to the beach with very spacious rooms. Can easily fit a family of four. Bathroom is also very spacious. Towels and soap provided. We were greated warmly and breakfast was delicious. Fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, gallo pinto and toast. Swimming pool was lovely and warm. Supermarket next door with everything you may need and a 5 minute walk to the beach. 5 minute car drive to Playa Flamingo. Would stay again.

    About the hotel is nothing bad to say at all. But i would recommend to go to the place with a car. If you don’t have a car, it’s not that relaxing to go from one place to another and reach the spots.

    The room was clean, beautiful and we had a lot of space.

    not applicable. we thoroughly enjoyed.

    the included breakfasts were delicious. the staff was extremely helpful. it’s about a 20 minute walk to Flaming beach. flamingo beach was our favorite beach in CR. gorgeous white sands and not too crowded. we enjoyed walking to the beach. we were hot by the time we arrived. there is a yummy coffee place just a few minutes walk away, as well as a cafe and bank. there is a market right next to the property.

    No soap, shampoo or any amenities were provided. Only a single sheet on the bed is included. No blanket of any kind. We have literally traveled the world and stayed in many places but that was a first for us.

    The pool, grounds and personnel were lovely.

    Maybe a cushion for lounge chairs- we would have hung out by the lovely pool and gardens more...

    Very comfy bed. Good shower. Really super nice people- very warm welcome upon arrival. Not a fancy place, just very comfortable and safe...

    Very fine hotel with a very kind host, they lived as a family in the same spot which was nice and we felt very welcome. The location was close to supermarked and a bit far from everything else so you might need a car. All in all a good stay and friendly host.

    One photo advertising the accommodation wasn't actually the accommodation (cabins, rather than the luxurious hotel in the photo), expensive for the location
