Both Rolando and Audrey were helpful and nice. The room really suited our family with the king size bed on the main floor and twin beds in the loft. We enjoyed breakfast in the restaurant that shares the site and the massages in the tent on site were fabulous and so well priced. We only wish we could have stayed longer. ![Monkey in the tree in the garden](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/60ea4df1-2286-4fae-9c7a-34440106184e-1767150236429.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Beach out front of the hotel - restaurant seating to the left](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d2d59606-c8d0-489f-973f-41c8fd441598-1767150234205.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edward Nov 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Right on the beach with great outdoor space and view of the beach.

If I could give him higher than a 10/10 rating I would! The whole hotel is a hidden treasure. White sand beach, hammocks, firm comfortable bed, hot water and great water pressure. Patio was glorious for morning coffee or take it to one of the beach loungers. You can watch the waves roll in from your bed. The value is in the location (walk to anything- 10963867ish restaurants, shops, markets etc) CUSTOMER SERVICE ❤️ and Costa Rican authenticity- if you want marble countertops and Gold Coast finishes this place is not for you. However, if you like kind people, a great beach and comfy bed- this is luxury It is enjoyed by those that truly value pura vida living. EVERYONE we met were repeat customers, from 2-10 years returning. Yes, it’s that good.
