Relax at el Puerto

My husband and I had a nice relaxing time, especially at the pool. The traditional breakfast was delicious and large portions. Hotel is dated but a decent place, the casino is closed. Entire staff was welcoming and courteous, will stay there again if I go back to Puntarenas (el Puerto).

Stay Anywhere but not here.

Firstly, this is NOT a family hotel. We were shocked to see the condition of the room which is beyond description including AC not working, stained bed, extremely dirty and smelly bathrooms and most importantly NOT SAFE AT ALL.! The rooms did not have a proper lock. Most of the things mentioned on the hotel page are incorrect and false information. We had to just book something else in the last minute.

In the first room they gave us, the TV remote didn't work & the shade on the window didn't go down. We were hot & tired from a long trip, but we had to wait while they played around in the room, to try to fix it. Finally, they moved us to another room. There, the hot water was just a trickle. I went to the pool in the morning. It was murky. I couldn't see the bottom. I was paying top dollar for what was a budget experience, at best. Not a good value. Would have to say, never again.

Through out our stay, the water in the pool was murky and you could not see the bottom of the pool. This property says it has a casino---no casino. Also, there is no restaurant. The rooms were not clean and room security was terrible. This is one of the worst places we have ever stayed at!!!

This is more like a hostel than a real hotel, especially with the price you pay. Everything is old, not maintained. It is also loud as you are right on the street, and the windows are "open". The AC system is not efficient either. All this, while you pay high dollars for your room. Maybe if this was a $40/room, it would be ok

Unappealing

The hotel was worn down, which would’ve been ok if it was clean. The sink in the bathroom was extremely dirty and the pool did not look appealing. Our room was facing a side street and every time a car passed, it was so loud, it sounded like it was in our room. At 3AM someone started banging on a gate outside and continued for about half an hour. Needless to say, we didn’t get much sleep. The bed was comfortable at least. Possibly the blandest breakfast I’ve ever had.
