This was a wonderful property to stay at! The room was small but extremely clean with a big TV and excellent AC. The pools were beautiful and well-maintained. The outdoor sitting area was also lovely and relaxing, with a nice bar. The staff was very helpful. The property is about an 8 min walk from the beach and next to a grocery store and several restaurants. Highly recommend staying here!

Tati and Mary were really helpful, we got to the property a little bit earlier and they checked if everything was in order and let us relax by the pool / bar area. We scanned a QR code and played an interactive game (like a scavenger hunt) where they talked about the hand-carved wooden Boruca mask and people, after we finished they gave us a refreshing fruit drink. We all love it!!!!

Emanuel went out of his way to help us in a jam! We had a reservation at an Airbnb that turned out to be a dump, it was late, he got us in a room, helped with our bags. We ended up staying for a week. I have never stayed in a cleaner hotel! All the staff was wonderful, very friendly and helpful. Pools were great and loved that there was a bar. Easy walk to the beach. Restaurants and grocery stores on the same street, walking distance. Highly recommend this hotel.

Of all the places we stayed at in Costa Rica, this one was the absolute best value for money. We made a last minute reservation here for one night on our way back from Corcovado and I honestly regret not staying for longer. The property is small but stunning. They appear to not only have a pool but also a sauna. Everything looked exactly as the images online. Our room was comfortably sized, the bathroom was modern and most importantly had a bidet (which is someone I have sorely missed in Costa Rica since you can flush toilet paper). Staff was great too. Self-check in was a breeze. I will just say that the rooms on the upperw floor don’t have elevator access and so if you have issues lifting your luggage, then I’d request a room on the ground floor.

Loved the pool and the fact that the staff went out of their way to make you feel welcome, they even went through the trouble of bringing “manzanas de agua” from the tree,clean them and served them pool side on a plate with salt on the side. No charge for this, just kindness. When I decided to stay an extra night they figured out how even without a reservation. Gracias a todos. I will return. Pura Vida!

The room was modern and clean. There are no reception staff, so you have to enter the property and your room using a code. Unfortunately I did not get the code prior to my arrival and had to try to call through the doorbell camera but there was no answer. I sent a WhatsApp message and got a response within 5-10 minutes. On the morning of checkout, I went for breakfast and my code stopped working for the exterior door when I returned. I once again had to call and message to get back onto the property. Although the room was clean, there were large clusters or tiny ants that would gather around anything that resembled food. As well, the toilet wouldn’t flush and I realized the shut off valve was closed. When I opened it, the plumbing was leaking and I ended up with flooding in the washroom. The location was convenient to walk to the beach, but not convenient to walk to most of the restaurants and amenities in town.

Nice small hotel. We had a little issue checking in but it was resolved quickly. The bar took cash the first night but not the second, not a big deal but inconvenient. Special shout out to Caroline and Mary who wonderful with recommendations on beaches and restaurants. The rest of the staff was very friendly. We will stay there again.
