The staff is very friendly, the rooms are really clean and the food was delicious. Water pressure is amazing here in the showers. The beach is right out front which is a bonus and there is a path that you can walk to town on right from the hotel.

The room was basic needs. No hair dryer or conditioner for instance. One of the staff members was amazing and brought me one from her house.! The area around doesn’t look that great. However, once you enter the gate, you feel in a cozy yard the fact that is on the beach with a beach café is awesome. You have the best access.

Great for a room on the beach, really great food, and good restaurant service when not busy. Room was okay. Coffee is really excellent in your room! Like really, really good. Bathroom had lights out, was a little rough and could use some light reno for the rate. Initially, I was concerned about the room bejng so close to the pool and restaurant but they shutdown around 9pm, so it's really great. Hearing the waves at night is really peaceful, and overall really like the place. Server, Marisol, was very sweet, and her colleague is very professional. The restaurant manager does a good job inviting people in and filling the restaurant. However, the 2 servers do get a little stretched thin when the restaurant fills at dinner. Food is delicious in Costa Rica. Here was no exception: tuna tartar was top notch, and burger was exceptional although very thick and hard to handle 😂 Overall worth the price, will return!

Small boutique hotel. The restaurant is right on the beach. The rooms are a little plain, but functional. The food, although pricey, was good quality. Amenities right down the street. Priced right for the neighborhood. The staff was very friendly

Wish we had more days there. It was a last night stay and we booked it sight unseen. A wonderful stay with super clean rooms, plenty of towels, excellent restaurant and plenty of lounge chairs for the beach. Great atmosphere . Safe walking on beach and to shops. Would love to go back. Excellent quality for the money.

The patio is amazing!! Staff were awesome. And the hotel is at the end of the beach which I was told by the locals Is so much better because it's cleaner and the run off from the town is way on the other side. Quiet, clean, great service. Recommend.

This was the perfect place for us to really enjoy the beach walking distance from our room. The staff was lovely, and the food at the restaurant was very very good. The sunset from the beach restaurant could not have been any better. The walk to the main avenue of tourist shops maybe takes 15-20 minutes, but walking along the beach makes it very pleasant.
