But location on a very quiet beach. Great surf in front of the hotel. It was very clean and the staff was very friendly

The rest of the beach was dark except for right around this hotel area and they had it lit up like Time square. It was so bright you couldn't hardly see to walk back to the hotel from the beach because of the blinding light. The beach and the area would be much more pleasant without the stadium lighting. Also the ice machine sounded like a jet plane getting ready to take off it was very loud and disturbing In my room

In general, all staff was friendly, respectful and super willing to help. I would recommend to have small coffee makers in rooms. All food was super tasty, Great cooking. My wife and I worked in tourism bussiness for over 10 years in Costa Rica and know how to detect diferent levels of service and quality in hotels.

The parking area is the weak spot, I found a car with an open window in the parking outside the property and there was no security guard in place watching over the vehicles. I ended up reporting the issue at the front desk. Need to improve the internet connection in rooms. My room phone never worked. It was reported, but, TV and phone worked from fiber optic, so to make the TV Work they had to disconnect the phone. Bar is kind of pricy.

My daughter and I spent a pleasant 5 nights here. We probably wouldn’t have booked at this location and hotel if we’d had more time before our trip, but at very short notice it was the only hotel available in the area with two beds per room. But it worked out very well and was excellent value for money. Friendly and efficient staff, nice comfy clean room. Right by Hermosa Beach. The shower in the room was fantastic - better than we’ve got at home. Great (free) breakfasts too. The pool was excellent and with the beach just across the road we had good views of sunsets from our balcony. The ocean at the beach is no good for weak swimmers or children due to strong undertow, but lovely smooth sand to walk on and and fine to wade in to the water if you don’t go in any further than standing depth. Several good restaurants 20 minutes walk away.

Lighting in the room was poor. Too dim to read a book at night without using cell phone or flashlight for illumination. Only two small recessed lamps in the ceiling and no table lamps. But this is just a small niggle in an otherwise very good package.

The breakfast was great, as was all the food we ordered from the restaurant. Room was very clean, bed was comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. Could keep the room as cool as you liked. Mini fridge was great!

Pictures can be deceiving. Lots of deferred maintenance. Would have been nice to have pool towels, not the old stained ones from the rooms. Lounge chairs not comfortable, could use cushions or different type.

This hotel is located across the street from the beach. In less than a minute, you are on the beach enjoying the spectacular waves and awesome sunsets. The rooms are very large and well maintained. Housekeeping did a great job of keeping everything clean. The WiFi was very easy to connect to and had decent connection speed.

The American breakfast was not the greatest. The "orange juice" tasted like Tang or a dry mix with water. The eggs had a strange taste and the toast needed to be toasted longer.

Love the location and the breakfast was exceptional for local cuisine. Perfect for surfing at the top surf beach in CR!

Rooms could have a suitcase rack. Very minimal accommodations and the beds could be queen instead of just doubles. Beds were old and could use updating as a couple will roll into the middle.

clean, comfortable, friendly loved breakfast!

I loved the pool. loungers we’re uncomfortable and so I didn’t spend as much time by the pool as I would have liked. I also looked at shade…perhaps some umbrellas would be nice.

Our room was super clean, and the beds were so comfy. Nice hot shower. Pool was great. Buffet breakfast was always fresh, and the portions generous. As it’s a little out of the way, we were extremely grateful that the food at the restaurant was so good. Beach was beautiful, and sunsets breathtaking.

Road isn’t paved for the last mile, but it’s certainly doable

Room was amazing, very clean, fresh, perfect air conditioning, bed very comfortable, access direct to the pool! Location straight at the beach, quiet, parking spaces, safety. Breakfast was very good!!

Not hotel responsibility. People with dogs barking around the pool. People were very noisy in general during the evening.

Great location right on the beach! Excellent food in the restaurant at dinner and the included breakfast too! Highly recommend the fried snapper and the dessert with ice cream, fruit and jello. It sounds strange, but refreshing and delicious! The server was the best one I’ve had during my 2 week trip around Costa Rica-and all meals were eaten out. Very nice pool area too. Plenty of ice machines. At least 2 on the first floor I was on. If you want to see Scarlet Macaws, this is the place. I watched/recorded 2 pairs of them for over an hour. Make sure you’re up by 6am and walk along the road in front of the hotel (to the right as you walk out). Quietly walking along, you’ll hear them moving in trees on the beach side, cracking open food, leaves falling, etc. Once you hear them cawing, you’ll easily know when they’re around. Such a beautiful way to start your day. I paid about 1/2 the price of what I had paid at all the other places I stayed at and this was by far my favorite. This place was a great value for the price!

My pool sliding door was a little hard to open, but wouldn’t even think of complaining. Considering I hadn’t even requested this type of room and that’s what I got, I was just fine with it.
