Everything seemed clean. Just makes you wonder. The restaurant was pricey but very good and efficient. ##### Gilles Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carl Sep 6, 2024 Don’t throw toilet paper in the toilet but in the trash can? Ridiculous, that happened in Costa Ric sin the 1980s but not in 2024\. The hotel is very outdated, and there is no parking near the rooms so you must walk in incredible amount of stairs. Not for older people or with bad lunch. The staff is incredibly helpful and the food is pretty decent. That makes up for a lot. The view at the pool, terrace, bar, and rooms is to die for. ##### Carl Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Simona Mar 18, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities I trully enjoyed the stunning views, the pool and lovely restaurant and bar area. The staff was welcoming and eager to assist. However our room was dated and the shower area was moldy and could use some attention. We had to request towels, (we had 1 for 3 ppl) someone to refill up the coffee pods etc. The drive to the property is challenging and you could literally lose a tire on the way there. It only takes a bit of effort to cover these holes. The food was decent but nothing spectacular. Overall with a few little improvements this could be a trully remarkable experience! I booked 2 standard rooms for 2 nights, my friends received an upgrade as their AC was not working and the presence of geckoes and other insects disrupted their sleep in the first night. ##### Simona Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy Mar 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice place to relax near the end of our visit The view from the pool is amazing! We spent an entire day there. The view from the room patio was also nice. We saw lots of birds every day. Get ready for the stair master to get to and from your room. Our room had a sketchy hole in the ceiling above the shower and we had quite a few bugs in our room, but no big deal when you're in paradise. The bathroom was a lil small and dated, but we hardly spent any time in there. Drinks at the pool were reasonably-priced even thigh they didn't have any prices listed... food was on the more expensive side... so we just drank more. Really enjoyed our stay here overall and it was a great place to unwind before heading back home. I would stay here again! ##### Amy Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fabian Oct 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is extremely beatiful, a wonderfull view of the ocean and a excellent restaurant. The staff is super friendly, all the amenities you can need. The pool is too deep, just for swiming, not for relaxing. Beside the little detail of the pool, 100% recomended. ##### Fabian Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Said Raffeeth Aug 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Love this place!!

Aversive muzak played nonstop in the bar/restaurant area which permeated the whole place. Not a peaceful costa rican environment. ##### Jill Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### wendy Jun 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness The view from the restaurant is breathtaking. The restaurant's food is delicious. But the room we stayed in, the toilet had issues. First, it had no cold water going into the bathroom sink, shower and toilet. The maintenance team resolved as the main line was turned off. Then the toilet was howling every time you flushed for 20 seconds. Sounded like you were at a sports arena with foghorns. They said it was trapped air in piped. The howling/screeching sound lasted the entire time we stayed (one/night). I explained and showed a video to the receptionist and she just gave me a blank stare and said that there is air in the pipes. ##### wendy Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mario Apr 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Linda vista El lugar es bonito, ya he estado en otras ocasiones ##### Mario Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Linda Feb 25, 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Ich habe das Hotel gebucht wegen des Blicks auf die Walflosse, was Quatsch war, denn die Walflosse sieht man eh nur in weiter Ferne und auch nur bei Ebbe und auch nur, wenn das Zimmer höher gelegen ist, was bei uns nicht der Fall war. Das Zimmer, die Möbel, das Bad ist total abgeranzt und es ist eine Frechheit dafür so viel Geld zu nehmen. Der Balkon ist winzig und aus der Scheibe war ein Stück heraus gebrochen. Der Pool ist ganz nett, die Frühstücksauswahl sehr begrenzt. Nie wieder! ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cinthya Jan 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hermoso lugar El lugar es precioso, el servicio muy bueno, la comida muy rica y bastante. ##### Cinthya Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Federico Jul 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Una vista espectacular Un lugar con una vista espectacular, aunque el acceso es por una calle de una sola vía y muy empinada. El área de las piscinas, bar y restaurante es la que tiene la mejor vista, la comida es deliciosa y a buen precio. El único problema es que ir a las habitaciones puede ser cansado por lo empinado del terreno, pero el total da transporte si es necesario. ##### Federico Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### miguel May 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Los baños presentaron problemas y faltan muebles y decoración en los mismos ##### miguel Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jose Luis Jan 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Super rico el lugar. ##### Jose Luis Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gerald May 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities muy bonito y su personal atiende muy bien ##### Gerald Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tatiana Apr 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Área común excelente habitaciones muy sencillas básicas ##### Tatiana Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.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) > > [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) > > [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 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) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Refugio Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Surf-House.h84012769.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) > > [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) > > [Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin](https://www.expedia.ca/Curubande-Hotels-Hotel-Hacienda-Guachipelin.h1122531.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) > > [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)
