The sheets kept coming off and the entire bed moved when the top or bottom person shifted on rolled over. The toilet was broken and wouldn’t flush so you had to reach into the top water to lift the flap. We had the room on the outside so in the morning you had to climb out the bedroom window to access the kitchen and common area. ##### Denise Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hotel Villas de la Colina](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-Hotel-Villas-De-La-Colina.h16015959.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Ribera La Paz](https://www.expedia.ca/Piedades-Norte-Hotels-Hotel-Ribera-La-Paz.h94667109.Hotel-Information) > - [Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Oxygen-Jungle-Villas.h6042557.Hotel-Information) > - [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > - [Sueno Dorado Hot Springs Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Sueno-Dorado-Hot-Springs-Hotel.h93065344.Hotel-Information) > - [The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-The-Royal-Corin-Thermal-Water-Spa-Resort.h2486262.Hotel-Information) > - [Azul Hotel & Retreat ](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Azul-Hotels-Azul-Ocean-Club-Hotel.h6776980.Hotel-Information) > - [The Tranquilo Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Drake-Bay-Hotels-The-Tranquilo-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36517873.Hotel-Information) > - [Good Life Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Good-Life-Lodge.h31807555.Hotel-Information) > - [Cabinas Arenal Home](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Home.h106998039.Hotel-Information) > - [Refugio Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Surf-House.h84012769.Hotel-Information) > - [El Castillo Boutique Luxury Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-El-Castillo-Adults-Only.h5225047.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > - [Arenal Paraíso Resort & Thermo Mineral Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Paraiso-Resort-Thermo-Mineral-Hot-Springs.h6612797.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport ](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > - [Maquenque Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Boca-Arenal-Hotels-Maquenque-Eco-Lodge.h4147006.Hotel-Information) > - [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > - [Lands in Love Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Ramon-Hotels-Lands-In-Love-Hotel.h1372764.Hotel-Information) > - [Morada del Colibrí](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Morada-Del-Colibri.h95849383.Hotel-Information) > - [Socialtel Nosara](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Selina-Nosara.h32620956.Hotel-Information) > - [Costa Rica Glamping](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarapiqui-Hotels-Costa-Rica-Camping-Lodge.h38705633.Hotel-Information) > - [Sibu Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Rustic-Lodge.h10561215.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) > - [Ocho Artisan Bungalows - Adults only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Ocho-Artisan-Bungalows.h12685098.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury Sky Penthouses 3-6BR Condo-Hotel at Oceano Jaco](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Sky-Penthouses-3BR3BTH-At-Oceano.h12093587.Hotel-Information) > - [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > - [Rancho Pacifico](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Rancho-Pacifico.h1330912.Hotel-Information) > - [Cabinas Piedra Luna](https://www.expedia.ca/Aguas-Zarcas-Hotels-Cabinas-Piedra-Luna.h95878177.Hotel-Information) > - [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information)
