Book Hotels in El Soco

"The resort is absolutely spotless. The staff is cleaning everywhere every day. Most of the staff is very friendly and responsive. Breakfast is probably the best meal of the day. The food is good but if you are expecting American style and flavor, then this is not the resort for you. This was our second stay here. Our only complaint is the LOUD SCREAMING into a microphone every single night outside your window. No matter where you are along the beach front, you are going to hear it. This is the “entertainment” provided by the resort!! For this reason and this reason alone, we probably will not return to this resort. "

"Everything was excellent, clean, the staff, the food. The exterior area was nice and clean too, just the rooms need a bit updating "

"This ‘resort’ was pretty ho hum. Nothing special. Very limited menu - and same menu for both lunch and dinner. Very disappointing Limited pool chairs. The pool deck’s side tables were all chipped and rusting. Staff were not friendly. We arrived 6:30 am (sorry - that’s just when our flight got in!!). On arrival of course there was no room available. No suggestion of “go have a coffee and breakfast on us (or at a reduced rate)”. I asked if they had a guest room available for use by guests arriving early or checking out late. No. And no suggestion of where to go to change - which we just did in the lobby washroom. We went to the restaurant and had a very light bite to eat from the buffet - each of us were charged full price of $20 pp and ate about $5 worth. We checked back every few hours to see if our room was available and every time the reception was cold. Not welcoming. I even had to pay for the 2 bottles of water I asked for. We finally got our room approx. 3 pm. When I asked if it was ocean view the woman was quite indignant - “oh no!!!! It’s city view”. Well their city view is a view of the hotel’s parking lot where service vehicles (trucks and vans) come and go. Guests arriving in the afternoon got a much more warm welcome - including complimentary rum punches. Not us!! Had we been treated as if they were happy to have us as guests my review might be better. But seriously not one person was warm or welcoming. "

"We were pleasantly surprised by our stay, it really exceeded our expectations! The food was consistently good, both at the buffets and the restaurants, and there was plenty of variety. The staff was the highlight here. The service was always friendly and attentive. Our favorite staff member was Patricia at the Tamarindo bar. She was incredibly attentive, funny, and made our stay amazing. We loved setting up on the beach every day, where there were always available seats. There’s something for everyone to do here, whether you want a quiet stay or a more lively atmosphere, this place is for you!"

"The Power went out 7 times within 2 Days. Hot means Cold and Cold means Hot when using the shower or sink. It seems as if no one knew what was going on day to day! All though it say "All In-Clusive" beware of how they treat you. They seem as if they don't want it to be inclusive, they want you to be limited in everything."

"Best part of the stay was the fried chicken @ the beach! "
