The hotel was conveniently located close to a beautiful, private beach. The staff was friendly but dining staff was very very slow. Wifi is very weak here. Nice rooms but without air conditioning. Make sure to bring earplugs for the road noise and birds.

Amazing stay. I traveled with 2 other young women (ages 21,21,20) and we felt incredibly safe the entire time. We ended up staying in the banana house, which is actually a seperate villa across a little road from the main part of the hotel, however it was gated, and this gate could be locked. The apartment itself was also gorgeous. The property is one of the few at this price range with a connecting beach, being on playa negra. It is around a 5 minute ride (15 minute walk) from puerto viejo city center. There is a market at the hotel that sells groceries and cheaper lunch meals. Furthermore down the street there is a soda (which is a “hometown” restaurant in costa rica) which offers cheaper food as puerto viejo and costa rica is a bit expensive. Included breakfast is AMAZING. You have multiple options plus included coffee and a daily juice. We will be back!! Not to mention the staff is amazing, particularly Diana was very helpful. This place is truly a gem and I would recommend it 10x over.

I’ve debated whether to review this property but decided it might help others. I booked it because it is right on the beach and those places are scarce in CR. And that was great. Steps to a beach with chairs and loungers and service from the hotel for drinks and food. The restaurant was good and the people were generally nice. I got a massage and it was great. But the room was awful. I was in red frog. It was dank and dark and smelled musty, towels sometimes smelled mildewy. I chose an air conditioned room on purpose thinking it would mean a well-sealed room without mosquitos - and AC. But there were gaps under doors so mosquitos could get in. There was a hole in a window pane that they covered after i asked them to - they hadn’t noticed it. There was a mosquito net but it was open down one side so sorta useless. The bathroom was not included in the a/c. The room was right next to road with very noisy truck traffic. There was apparently a sewer issue because there was sometimes a terrible smell. I spent the first evening looking for other places to stay but sucked it up because I was so happy about the beach and would spend little time in the room anyway. Just be aware that the place isn’t as nice as the photos imply - it’s like a musty lake cabin.

Not Adult Only

The hotel was definitely not what I expected. The room was very small with a king bed and a twin close by. This made it very difficult to navigate the room. I booked for 3 people. There is no closet space in the room which means our bags also had to be on the floor next to the beds. Due to the rain, the room was very moist and that made our towels smell like mildew. I asked to switch the towels and the house keeper only switched out one. Lastly, the staff in the breakfast area was really friendly and the food was pretty good. Oh and I forgot to mention, this hotel is not adult only. There were children on the resort, eating in the breakfast area, etc. They were well behaved, but one of the reasons why I chose this hotel was because it was advertised as Adult only.
