We would not stay here again. There were people partying and yelling until 8am and paper-thin walls so no one got any sleep. The beds were rock hard and no blankets were provided. The staff was nice enough and the breakfast was ok. The pool area is very nice however walking around the property was slippery and dangerous because of the mildew on the tiles everywhere. We left two days early in search for a better place to stay.

This property has a beautiful location right on the beach!! the pool is perfect. We loved our stay very much, we recommend rooms 14, 15...those in the back facing the pool that is right next to the bar, which is on the other side of the beach. You can't beat it!

Is not a fancy hotel. however, has everything you need, clean, good air conditioning and hot water. Pool is perfect, walk easy to the beach. Restaurant and bar near the pool. The restaurant has good food but not a big selection but you always can order out to be deliver. Do not let the entrance turn you off. Is a really good small hotel.

Walk right to the beach. Super friendly and helpful staff. Free breakfast was great! They give you a beach towel when you check in, which was great because we forgot ours. Beach was amazing. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Hotel isn’t over populated, nice cozy feel. Hot water and strong AC. Would definitely return!

The property is a little dated. But well maintained. Staff was freindly and helpful. Setting was picturesque. I liked the fact it was slightly off the beaten path, but less than a $5 uber ride from the heart of the night life. Only negative I would give is I would have liked to have gad a deadbolt option on door.

Nothing postive to say about this property. From we arrived service was horrible. Check in didnt go well. Food prices at hotel was more than the 5 star hotel we ended up staying at. Their were roaches and lizards in the room. We were in Costa Rica so understood there might be crawlers in the room. Hotel was old and not well maintained. We only had one light functioning in the room. We had pizza the first night and put box outside room after. Empty box was not collected for 3 days. We ended up discarding it ourselves. I travel the world and stay at mamy hotels and have to say this was the worst hotel i ever stayed at.
