This hotel is nothing like the photos. The room is very outdated and dirty. We had few bugs in the room. Even though we booked for 2 nights, we could only stay for 1 night. Meal options are very limited and poorly serviced. Beach facilities are not convenient, especially for families with small kids.

The property is a bit tired but nice, the food was just ok - the specialty Italian restaurant is terrible (and empty) and the pizza place is terrible. The amin food place is decent and the seafood specialty restaurant was good. The check in was disappointing = no info given. We will have someone call you - which was just room service. There is a spa down the hill, a gift shop etc - had to figure everything ourselves. Might have been a language barrier. Not much English for a tourist destination.

The staff were amazing. The facility was old but clean. Showers worked good and water was hot. Beds were comfortable. The food was average, limited variety. Good fresh fruit every day and coffee was delicious. Only had an Italian restaurant and that was not good buffet style.

The property was built in the late 60's, so it is dated, but well kept. The buffet is pretty good; however, the Italian dining restaurant needs better quality meals.

I travel there with my daughter sister and my niece the room needs to be updated. There was nothing in our minibar no room service like it says when you ask about things seems like no one knows or even wants to help. I would definitely suggest bringing your own things. You can’t even find a bottle of water everything is giving to you and plastic cups.

The walkability to the beach is very convenient, the shuttle service and the all inclusive is a nice touch. However, the facility is outdated. Our room was clearly not maintained, bathroom was moldy, full of termites and unclean. While it being a pet friendly hotel is not a bad thing, I don’t think raccoons and skunks should be left to roam about the facility uncontrolled. In general all the service people were very nice and care about doing a good job. The pool area is fun and they do try to have good entertainment at night.

We had no hot water one day and another day we had no cold water and our toilet didn't work. They didn't have a phone to call in case we needed anything. The front office is not very friendly. Getting around the hotel was hard. They would not wash the dishes. We had to ask for stuff. The food was not good at all and they didn't have a variety of food. I would not recommend this hotel. I would like to get some compensation back.

This is an older resort in an incredible setting. We loved that it caters to locals as well as international guests, and so it is a much more immersive Costa Rican experience. Food is plentiful, and also local/ we are not did the buffet, and found it good home style local food. Would return again!

Very difficult to write this email. I am not the person to complaint . However, I felt like it is necessary to say this for the sake of future travelers. I was here for 5 nights I had 3 issues out of my 5 day stay . No hot water / water leak in my room where my my personal belongings got wet . And No water at ALL! I was in excursions on a daily basis and coming tired, to just come back to my room and relax however, that was not the case !! Overall,run down , food , service response, personnel Communication amongst management needs major attention if they want people to still come back !! I could go on and on but I tried to just give it a quick respond .

This was our fifth time staying at Condovac. We feel it is the best budget all-inclusive in the area. The beach is amazing, the food is healthy and satisfying, the view from the open-air dining area is spectacular, the rooms are clean and spacious and the walk into town is safe and pleasant both during daylight hours and in the evening when it is dark. There is both a supermarket (with liquor and a pharmacy) and a very nice gift shop within walking distance of the resort. A bonus would be snorkeling right off the beach!

The romantic room with a veiw was awesome. Spacious with the a/c working great. Beautiful patio door opened to a private balcony with a beautiful ocean view. The staff tried very hard to give us different food choices at the restaurant. Fernanda was great in helping us with reservations. Service for dinner at the restaurant was always great with Ramon. Liquor choices were very limited, and they constanly ran out of prefered choices. The beach bar, that was supposed to be an upgraded bar, was out of wine at sunset.

Pros: view, pool Cons: everything else I felt deceived when I arrived. The place is run down and the ad pics they use are definitely from when the place was thriving. The all-inclusive is a waste of money. They serve the same meals at the buffet—which are not good—there is no variation. There is a ton of cross contamination going on with the use of one grill for all meals. There are other “restaurants” but if you look at my Google review you will see more information about that. My husband ended up getting very sick by day 5. We had to have a doctor come to our room, go to the pharmacy and he had to get shots and medication. We spent $250 on getting him well & missed out on our zipline tour. We stayed away from the hotel food & water they served the rest of the trip. The people who work there are not friendly—especially at the front desk. Hardly any English speakers at all. We did meet one girl and I slipped her some money the first day and she took care of us—even talking to the supervisor to get us a doctor. She checked on us the next day—no one else at the front desk cared. Also, they do not keep track of you going in and out, which is kind of scary. We tried to not let this detour our trip or get us down, until we got sick. After talking to a ton of locals—people at pharmacy and a restaurant right down the way called Ginger (so good!!)—we realized that it is very common at that resort. I promise you, you will be disappointed unless you have very low standards.

This property is on a very steep hill. The only good way to get to the beach or from the rooms back up to the pools is by shuttle. I was at the property for 3 nights. I had no hot water the entire stay. I reported it in the morning after the 1st and 2nd nights. They provided only 1 washcloth even though there were 2 people in the room. I reported this also and finally got a second washcloth when I happened to catch the housekeeper in the area of my room. When I checked out after 3 nights, I again reported the lack of hot water. The desk clerk did not seem concerned. Overall, it was not a terrible property, but I would still rate it as below average.

The property is terraced down a steep hillside, so the views are incredible. The food is delicious and the water is potable. There is a little truck shuttle that goes around the property but I preferred to walk to the main resort from my bungalow duplex unit. The rooms are older and dated but very serviceable. The beds are basic but pretty comfortable. There is AC in the bed room and the living room. Plus a small patio out front. There a two cats that roam the main area of the resort. They are very friendly and will try to get you to feed them. I also saw iguanas, Varigated squirrels, birds, raccoons, and heard lots of frogs. The beach is decent but the water has rip current, so swimming isn’t really recommended. There are 5 pools to enjoy and plenty of cabana space in the shade. The nightly entertainment starts at 8:30. The spa is a highlight and you can schedule unlimited treatments for $285 per day. The Unique Costa Rica tour company will try to make you go to a time share presentation but just say no thank you. The transportation is easy to locate at the airport and the vehicles are clean.

Condovac is located about a half hour from the Liberia airport, on Playa Hermosa. We stayed 5 days. PROS: *We had a romantic room. It had a beautiful view we enjoyed. *Our room was clean and Giselle did a great job keeping it that way. *View from the hilltop restaurant and pools was beautiful. *The food was excellent. The buffet was similar everyday, they always had a few different items. We enjoyed Roman's service. *The staff were all very friendly. *There are shuttles to bring you down to the beach or up to the restaurant. There we plenty and did not have to wait long, unless at high traffic times like sunset. CONS: *With the romantic room we had a better grade of alcohol available. Unfortunately it was at the beach bar and usually out of stock and extremely limited. *The beach bar is not really on the beach, actually up the hill by the beach, not inviting and the drinks were not good, except the Pina colata *The show was only in Spanish *This hotel is geared toward locals *There are 3 a la cart restaurants, but making reservations and getting a menu was challenging at first. *There are not enough chairs by the pools or beach. Would we return? Probably not

This resort is family and pet friendly. If you’re looking for a party resort, this is far from it. They have festivities at night but they’re all family/kid based. The pool area is beautiful! Amazing views but as mentioned before it’s a family based resort which means, kids all around. It’s located in a safe area, walking distance to the beach. It was an all inclusive resort, food and drinks included. Breakfast was great but my friend and I were not a big fan of lunch or dinner. Pool bar would open around noon and close early around 5pm. In order to eat outside the buffet area you have to make reservations by 9am which we kept forgetting today. Wifi was super weak and we had little to no reception in our room which was 508. Shuttles took a while to pick you up from parking lot/lobby/ restaurant/ room. Be prepared to walk from your room area to the listed location mentioned above. Staff was extremely friendly and attentive.

The staff were nice but I didn’t like the fact that the food was not that good especially for dinner and lunch but breakfast was good. Also at 9pm everything is closed like people come on vacation to enjoy and it doesn’t really makes sense for everything Inside the resort to be closed at 9pm. But the view and the resort was beautiful and also there wasn’t that much activities at night and days since they close at 9pm and they also needs to be a little bit more diverse when it comes to the activities since a lot of us didn’t speak Spanish and couldn’t understand anything which made us not really wanting to participate

Try not to eat pizza. Beautiful place, little complicated when you go with someone on a wheelchair due to the altimetry of the place, very good service with the car specifically for wheelchair transportation, however, sometimes we had to wait too much time. The pizza restaurant and the pizza itself was awful.

The property location is great. However, the facilities are dated. No phone, no wifi or hot water in rooms. Moving from room to main facilities requires a hike uphill or a shuttle service which is spotty. The staff smile and tell you that the rooms are not ready even past the check in time. All inclusive food is sub par and repetitive. Free drinks are good but watered down. Ice cream parlor is more like a hole in the wall with ice cream scooped out of buckets. Pizzeria wait times are ridiculous and the pizza is overly cheesy without much flavor. The 3 restaurants on property are good, especially Colibri. However the reservation system is unnecessarily complicated. The bumper cars can give you a concussion. Kids be warned. Only two work at a time. The pools are nice. But lacking shade and seating options. Overall, I would give it a C-

The All-Inclusive resort has very limited dining options and short staffed. Unlike other resorts, you have to carry your luggage to your room which is on a steep downhill. There is only one Buffet restaurant which has less than 20 menu items. There are 2 other small restaurants with seating limited to 15-20 folks and you need to stand in line from 9 am to book a spot. And these restaurants are nothing like what you would fine in Riu palace, etc. I wouldn't recommend this to tourists. This is mainly a spot for the locals and the food and the entertainment is geared towards locals.
