There is plenty of wildlife around (Howler Monkeys, pizotes, raccoons, skunks, exotic birds); and it’s an easy walk to the beach. Plenty of eating options, and there’s a convenience store a 6 minute walk away. Good place to crash while enjoying the beach life.

The 6 person suite was outdated and didn’t quite match the expectations from the online pics. It also had bits of sand on the chairs and sofa upon arrival which was still doable by our group as we just put towels over when we sat. The thing that was difficult to deal with was the amount of larger brown ants crawling on the floor and walls we discovered when we finally got in after a long day and were ready to just sleep. We ended up killing as many as we could and pulled the beds away from the wall, only to discover from the dirtiness under that the bed clearly hadn’t been moved in a while to get a decent clean in. The window was open upon our initial arrival, so maybe this is how the ants got in and hopefully it’s not an ongoing problem. We only spent a night here, but it’s not a place we’d do again even though it’s so close to the beach.

The management was so helpful and willing to be flexible and accommodating. My husband needed medical treatment and the hotel staff made the calls needed to get us help. We also got a bigger room at the end of our stay. The pool was really nice.

Clean and modest hotel - close to the beach

This a modest hotel. I rented an apartment. It had 2 bedrooms,Tvs and well equiped kitchen. It has a fridge too. The beds are not good.. they are old and heavy. the doors do not close because of the beds.. you need to move the beds to be able to close the doors ! dining table, chairs, are old.. the apartment needs an upgrade- we paid $254 for one nitght. Breakfast is modest too. Fruts are cheep in CR. I do not know why the small portions and not so good looking. Pleae improve breakfast. The best is the nice pool
