Hostess was kind and helped with parking. We came after dark and couldn’t find a parking spot close by. We felt like we were an inconvenience at the restaurant for breakfast but the food was good. ##### Nicole Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Marina Apr 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service No parking as described during reservation process. I was disrespected by owner for being an assertive woman. Constantly calling another person to solve simple issues. One time visit, no return patron. Not happy. ##### Marina Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dylan Mar 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities A nice location by the beach. The rooms are behind a restaurant, keeping it quieter. The accommodations are older with rooms that show some wear, but that’s a minor cosmetic concern. it’s a fine place to stay! ##### Dylan Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Norma Mar 18, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Horrible No tenía higiénico, ni jabón de manos, el baño muy sucio, realmente no fue una buena experiencia ##### Norma Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### stephanie Jan 31, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities I loved the location, the beach, the street vendors. The water is beautiful and warm. We went swimming at night, it was great. The staff was very nice, just didn't seem very knowledgeable. Breakfast was great also. There is a shower by where there park the cars to rinse off from the ocean. ##### stephanie Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### JC Jan 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### In a pinch Room is very small and basic, does have air conditioning, however only bedsheets and the bottom one came off.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. ##### JC Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Wade Dec 28, 2024 Liked: Staff & service #### Hotel Alden Pura Vida Our room was clean and had towels.

Por lo que eligi está aplicación para realizar mi reserva , la habitación tenía muy mal olor y la cama tenía pulgas o purrujas que me tenían toda picada . En la tarde se me apeteció un café en el restaurante del hotel por lo que fui a comprarlo y para mí sorpresa me dijeron que no había café , asombroso que Costa Rica no tenga café donde los ticos somos conocidos por ser cafeteros . Lo que es el desayuno es de baja calidad y solo te sirven una Taza de café . Por lo que opté no reservar más e irme aún lugar más cómodo y con café. Pésimo internet. ##### Clency Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Esmeralda Ocaña Aug 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities El personal amable y tiene excelente ubicación ##### Esmeralda Ocaña Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Fer Jul 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Amazing staff and service! ##### Fer Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Marie May 15, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Property was not clean at all. Property needs a lotttt of repairs to bring it up to bare minimum standard. Room and bathroom was very small. Room had smeared black marks on walls, and they had a very strong smell due to mof balls they have in room and bathroom. They have people living there and we’re very loud at night so we could not sleep. We had to buy ice at the restaurant to have cold water. no amenities in the room. No parking so we parked road side and walked to the hotel. I would never stay at this property again. ##### Marie Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Javier Apr 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort El parqueo uno detras del otro es imposible, eso no es parqueo, uno no se puede parquear sin que haya que mover a todos los del hotel ##### Javier Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Bela Apr 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities For some reason, the address given for the hotel did not match where it was located. A kind person asked if we needed help and gave us google translated directions for where the hotel actually was, 1 km away. Once we got there, everything went well with check in and accommodations. ##### Bela Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Windle Mar 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The rooms had good AC but the bathroom sanitizer smell overpowering. Very basic but clean. Not a luxury option but very satisfactory and great price for quality. The staff was super and very friendly and knowledgeable. Food was good and breakfast was a nice variety. A great option should we visit again. Pura Vida! ##### Windle ### 2/10 Terrible #### Carmen Elena Apr 18, 2023 Disliked: Staff & service No lo recomiendo.

One faucet for shower and sink with water that is hardly warmer than room temperature. Although the room was clean. The quality of said room was subpar. Poor quality for the $50usd a night. Far too expensive. A makeshift door for the bathroom for instance. Very thin sheets. Two pillows, two towels. The toilet hardly flushed and got clogged (toilet paper was never placed in toilet). Pro? It was near the water. ##### MARICELA Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marco Mar 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Marco Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samantha Dec 13, 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Samantha Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Villa Caletas](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Caletas.h908078.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Guanacaste-Resort-And-Spa.h2190860.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Belmar](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Belmar.h37178213.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Trapp Family Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Trapp-Family-Lodge.h4799289.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel Jaco](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Socialtel-Jaco.h18103596.Hotel-Information) > > [The Coast Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-The-Coast-Beachfront-Hotel.h18530265.Hotel-Information) > > [Botanika Osa Peninsula Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Botanika-Osa-Peninsula.h69305784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Del-Rio.h27603041.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Lapa Rios Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Lapa-Rios-Lodge.h1447895.Hotel-Information) > > [Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Oxygen-Jungle-Villas.h6042557.Hotel-Information) > > [Océano Boutique Hotel & Bistró](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Oceano-Boutique-Hotel-Gallery.h8832353.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Jaco Beach All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Best-Western-Jaco-Beach-All-Inclusive-Resort.h54703.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Osa Beach Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Blue-Osa-Yoga-Retreat-Spa.h11717583.Hotel-Information) > > [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Break Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Beach-Break-Resort.h2243571.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Crocs Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Crocs-Resort-Casino.h8741357.Hotel-Information)
