So the price great and I guess you get what you pay for. The hotel was so dang cute. The staff was nice and everything. However, the electricity went out 2 times while we were there and the water pressure was really low. But I felt safe and it was overall a good stay. I would stay again if I wanted something cheap.

The staff were very helpful. Rooms were modest, bed was comfortable. If you are ok with some noise, the balcony rooms on the ouside are yours, for a more quiet stay, have a room facing the courtyard. Recommendations from the staff for food were incredible. Area was very central, all amenities including the beach was a 5min walk away. Can't wait to return to Bosque Caribe.

Asked to be upgraded to a room with a private bathroom. Was told it was $60 extra a night. I checked agora and Expedia minutes before requesting the upgrade, both sites said $6 total for the upgrade. Had a much better stay at the Aloft. I could hear senior frogs music booming at the checkin dacikity, can’t imagine what it was like to stay there.
