The beach is quite rocky. The pool isn’t very clean full of debris and bugs from the trees. The wifi cuts out often. The rooms are super small, very dated and the “standard room” does not come With a fridge. The restaurant is also grossly overpriced for a salad.

The property was beautifully clean. The pictures of the resort were for real…not "touched up" like a lot of places we've been. The breakfast was very good and the staff was helpful and kind. Good value!

Very nice and helpful staff Walking distance to the beach and restaurants Great pool Basic but clean rooms Had a great time!

hotel grounds are set in a tropical garden with a swimming pool/waterfall at the end of the hotel premise road;.... good breakfast every morning provided by hotel staff;.... close to bus stop to nauyaca falls, or to Quepos direction or to Uvita direction......five minute walk to main beach area at lifeguard tower....all the restaurants, tourist shops, local supermarket just minutes away.......this hotel will cost higher than the many hostels nearby, but with the comfort at either the cabanas or the 2 story type rooms I've seen on the hotel grounds, this is worth the price of admission

We stayed two nights. A lot of little things happened. Had to ask for a bulb for the lamp , no hot water first night, electricity went out several times, internet was very spotty. We had a coffeemaker and coffee the next morning, but had to buy the coffee after the first one. Housekeeping was very slow. There were maybe 5 rooms occupied. Grounds were in need of much maintenance.

We checked in at 2:00. Got in the shower and was severely electrocuted by their shower which heats water electrically. They gave us another room that had no working hot water, and afterwards as we lay on their uncomfortable bed, in a tiny room, looking for another option we realized that not only was it not worth staying, but their wifi was so poor as to make further research impossible. We then went out, found a restaurant with wifi, and left around 6:00. Worst stay of our trip.
