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 > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tranquilo Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Drake-Bay-Hotels-The-Tranquilo-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36517873.Hotel-Information) > > [El Castillo Boutique Luxury Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-El-Castillo-Adults-Only.h5225047.Hotel-Information) > > [Maquenque Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Boca-Arenal-Hotels-Maquenque-Eco-Lodge.h4147006.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel Nosara](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Selina-Nosara.h32620956.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocho Artisan Bungalows - Adults only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Ocho-Artisan-Bungalows.h12685098.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabinas Piedra Luna](https://www.expedia.ca/Aguas-Zarcas-Hotels-Cabinas-Piedra-Luna.h95878177.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villas de la Colina](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-Hotel-Villas-De-La-Colina.h16015959.Hotel-Information) > > [Sueno Dorado Hot Springs Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Sueno-Dorado-Hot-Springs-Hotel.h93065344.Hotel-Information) > > [Good Life Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Good-Life-Lodge.h31807555.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > > [Costa Rica Glamping](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarapiqui-Hotels-Costa-Rica-Camping-Lodge.h38705633.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) > > [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ribera La Paz](https://www.expedia.ca/Piedades-Norte-Hotels-Hotel-Ribera-La-Paz.h94667109.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) > > [Cabinas Arenal Home](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Home.h106998039.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) > > [Lands in Love Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Ramon-Hotels-Lands-In-Love-Hotel.h1372764.Hotel-Information) > > [Sibu Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Rustic-Lodge.h10561215.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Oxygen-Jungle-Villas.h6042557.Hotel-Information) > > [Azul Hotel & Retreat ](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Azul-Hotels-Azul-Ocean-Club-Hotel.h6776980.Hotel-Information) > > [Refugio Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Surf-House.h84012769.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport ](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Morada del Colibrí](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Morada-Del-Colibri.h95849383.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) > > [Rancho Pacifico](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Rancho-Pacifico.h1330912.Hotel-Information)
