Beautiful property. The people are amazing there and very hospitable. The rooms are large and traditional costarican rooms. The beach access is steep, but the beach is beautiful. Lovely fish to see while snorkeling. Would stay again.

This property needs major work. Staff very friendly but no internet, wifi in the rooms. Air conditioner was to small for the room. Patio door the latch was broken. At one time this was a beautiful property but over time has been neglected. Apparently the owner lives in Texas and has let his properties really be neglected.

I do not recommend this property.

Our room what extremely hot, 81 degrees. Two towels provided for a family of four. No exaggeration there were spiders and ants everywhere, coming out of electrical sockets and wall trim. Shower knobs broken. No soap, no wash clothes, no paper towels

The staff was helpful and friendly but didn’t have the key for us, we had to ask for towels and sheets which were stained and torn when we finally retrieved them ourselves in the rain. The shower was filthy and stained, I don’t think it could have appeared clean even if scrubbed. There was a gap in the wooden front door and the glass slider wouldn’t close completely, gapped between panels- also if tugged on, it would come away from the door frame- could have been broken easily to gain entry. There was giant ants crawling all over. The walls and window covers were faded and stained - the whole place seemed unclean and was uncomfortable to be in.

So disappointed! We arrived after dark. Check in was quick but the room we were given was so disgusting. Lights falling out the ceiling, fridge didn't keep items cold, the toilet didn't flush, the ac filters were so dirty and clogged, the cobwebs in the windows, dirty drawers in the kitchen, just to name a few. We survived the night and asked for a new room. The new room was mariginally better but the moldy grounds left in the coffee pot pushed me over the edge. We booked 3 nights but left after 2. This place has the potential but the owners need to invest in repairs and maintenance.

Check in was easy. Pool was nice. Staff was attentive with minimal resources. The room was substandard; beds, cooking utensils, lights and fans not working, dirty old fridge, air conditioning that could not keep up with the heat, no decking furniture ( we had to ask), bathroom had missing tiles, screen not secured and was disgusting We had payed for 5 nights and left after the second night even though it was not- refundable by the Expedia. To top it off our neighbors who were local paid 1/4 of the price which we were charge by Expedia. They actually laughed at us. We believe Expedia mislead us or they were mislead. We use Expedia regularly and did not anticipate they would lead us that way according to the posting. Stay away!!

Great location, they appear to be trying to fix the place up. But the room was far from acceptable. It appears no one has cleaned the rooms in months. Upon arrival we were missing towels for the bathroom, and it was odd that they left the key just hanging in the lock for us to just "let ourselves in". I thought my 11 y.o. daughter was exaggerating when she told me it looked like a scary movie in the bathroom. She would not shower without my wife right outside the door. And to my dismay, she was right on. The soap scum and mold in the shower was unacceptable. Then to find out it was a cold shower because she didn't have any hot water. It didn't appear to have been swept in weeks with all of the bugs and dust under the bed. These are the big items of my nit picking. The small items, beach access? Kind of. It is shared with the hotel next door that you have to cross a trench to get to. Sliding glass door to the balcony didn't lock. This place has some very serious potential, and I did see people working to fix it up. Just would have been nice to know these things before we were there.
