You get what you pay for

Plusses: Service was excellent. Pool was very nice. Breakfast was good. Location away from busy street was nice. Plenty of hot water for showering. Minuses: Room needs serious updating. One mattress was saggy. Bed quilts shouted 1970. Two of the nights we had swarm of flying bugs (termites) visit the inside of the room. Saw them climb behind moulding. Didn’t make for a restful night’s sleep.

I had an unsatisfactory experience at the hotel and requested the staff to cancel my second night for a refund. Unfortunately, they declined, and I had to stay for both nights. Suggestions for Improvement: Install Intercom Phones: Please provide intercom phones in every room to avoid the inconvenience of walking downstairs from the second floor for assistance. Ensure Basic Amenities: Toilet paper was missing in my room, and there was no holder for it. The roll was simply placed on top of the toilet tank. Adding a toilet roll hanger is essential. Fix the AC System: The air conditioning was either too hot or too cold, and the remote control didn’t work. I had to go downstairs in the middle of the night for help, and the front desk staff assisted me. Secure Bed Backboards: The backboard of the bed was not properly attached and moved toward the wall when I leaned against it. It needs to be screwed securely to the bed frame. Not enough light in Bathroom: It is hard to shave yourself, not enough light in bathroom. There is no full size mirror in the bedroom

Money does not go far in Costa Rica. However this is the best value. Though this is not a western standard hotel, the real wood construction and real wood furniture give it a superior regal feel. The four pools of all different temperature suround by a tropical garden makes it a local resort. The water is chilled in some pools. At the highway a left turn across the bridge and first right street will bring you to the ocean (short pleasant walk). There is a raked beach, fancy restaurant, beach chair rental. Also across the bridge is the start of all the noisy restaurants, shops, bars and general activity of the town for 3km. The other direction (hwy right) is the quiet end town and bus station. The local CR breakfast was filling, however, you need to make reservation.
