Staff was like family. Knowledgeable and helpful too.

Heather, USA

The breakfast buffet was excellent. The staff very nice. I think this is an excellent example of the typical Costa Rican hotel accommodation on a resort highway in the middle of town. Considering that....nice in all respects.

Brenda, USA

Close to everything in Puerto Viejo, the nearby beaches are absolutely breathtaking, economical bike rental right across the street, nice pool, all-you-can-eat breakfast, good value for the money

Anaoveja7, Costa Rica

The breakfast was great and the hotel staff were very friendly.

Theo, United Kingdom

Free breakfast. The location was excellent!!! I would stay here again.

Kenny, USA

Very good location, nice, stylish hotel, well designed, good breakfast

Peter, Slovakia

We planned on staying two nights but kept adding time on each day and the staff were more than accomodating. Breakfast was good. We had a room with no a/c and first thought it would be too hot but we were surprised that it was okay. Being right on the pool helped too! Location ws good too, easy walk to the main restaurants (or bike ride)

Aimee, Australia

The wifi worked reasonably well. Aircon worked very well (mandatory in the crazy heat and humidity here!). Pool was nice, and the upper deck sitting room was a nice place to relax.

Chris, Australia

The location was great: very close to the beach and in the main street but not in the busiest, noisy part.

Puck, Netherlands

Great staff, nice rooms, I loved the common areas, I could sit on the corner of the second floor seating area for hours watching the world pass by, we bought some beers & did happy hour there every night. Breakfast was included with the room and was very good. The room was large, private bath was great, lots of hot water and spacious, Wi-Fi was decent. There is a flat screen TV in the room and seats just outside the room around the pool (which we never used – we headed to the second floor seating. The hotel is centrally located, easy access to all things Puerto Viejo.

눉A little updating would improve the quality, but since didn't see any of the hotels across the street or next door, I think it would be comparable....I booked 6 months ahead and felt it was a good price.
눇The breakfast buffet was excellent. The staff very nice. I think this is an excellent example of the typical Costa Rican hotel accommodation on a resort highway in the middle of town. Considering that....nice in all respects.

“Nice place, shame about the other tourists.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe Queen Room with A/C
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉The other tenants. When we checked in were were told that the pool closes at 9PM. Pretty reasonable. Our first night there, at 10PM at night, there was a group of residents still in the pool with a bluetooth speaker blaring insanely loud party tunes, and the staff just ignored it. I had to go down and ask the staff to deal with it so we could sleep. Pretty disappointing that they just completely ignored them, even though they were well aware. This seemed to be a common problem with the tourists in this town, lots of self entitled tourists being inconsiderate of others, or abusing staff who are trying to maintain some kind of set of rules (we saw baristas abused in cafes, waiters abused in bars, all by self-important tourists, a shame really).
눇The wifi worked reasonably well. Aircon worked very well (mandatory in the crazy heat and humidity here!). Pool was nice, and the upper deck sitting room was a nice place to relax.

눉No swimming as the pool was under construction. Bathroom tap sprayed all over. Stairs are awkward to get luggage up and down.
눇We were upgraded to a room with air since we didn't get the beds we wanted and the pool was closed. Good breakfast. Staff very friendly and helpful.

“Too expensive for what you get.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe Queen Room with A/C
- • Stayed 5 nights
눉The room was smaller than we thought. The pool was half-full (or half-empty) because of a leak. I find that it costs way too much for what you get. The included breakfast was alright but they sell it for $10 to others and for that price you could get a way nicer breakfast with bread from the bakery next door for example. Also when we sat down in the 'lobby' the staff would not come and ask if we wanted to drink anything.
눇The location was great: very close to the beach and in the main street but not in the busiest, noisy part.
