Also Samara beach is not bad - but this is NOT a must visit destination ##### dan Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jayson Nov 23, 2024 Liked: Amenities Nice basic room. Good ac. Friendly helpful staff. Good breakfast. Many rooms share a bathroom. They could use another to decrease traffic. ##### Jayson Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Apr 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very friendly and helpful staff.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Apologetic for construction to repair apparent storm damage. Will definitely be coming back to stay again for a longer stretch. Very close to beach and downtown. ##### Neil Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Courtney May 1, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Rustic perfection What a bargain. Super friendly staff, nice pool, and close to the beach. Breakfast tipico was great. We felt safe and welcome. Our room was…. Rustic. But it got the job done. ##### Courtney Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruby Wanda Dec 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The hotel has basic accommodations, but the staff was excellent especially Keidy and Juan. Lots of excursions to choose from which can be booked from the hotel. The breakfast was tasty and helped start the day right. Just a five minute walk from the beach and close to many restaurants. Restaurants are pricey, but there are lots of choices. A pizza will run you $20 USD. Will definitely be back. ##### Ruby Wanda Stayed 10 nights in Nov 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Andrew Feb 12, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Just ok for the price Location and price were good but everything else needs improvement. We booked based on positive reviews but didn’t enjoy many things. The room was tiny, with shared bathroom. No soap in bathroom. Dirty pool. Smelly common areas. Basic breakfast. Slow internet. Congo monkeys were a surprise. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2628143A21AD4446D2AC7F417023A019B2BEE6EF1739378999608.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0ACB0654285837E2771441F5C80C230DAE8275591739378998677.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda Feb 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Great Value. Friendly people. All employees great. Two choices of breakfast. Pool seemed to be cloudy so didnt swim in it. Close to beach. Beds need to be replaced as one of our beds was just springs. Good water pressure and hot water It is old and needs some updates but for value, it is a good deal. TV was not in room. Seemed to be missing. If you are in a bottom unit and there are units above, it is noisy with people thumping on the ground. Wooden structure mostly. Everyone very friendly. Would stay again. Just on no one above. ##### Linda Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Leyenda Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Carrillo-Hotels-Hotel-Leyenda.h8449845.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) > > [Socialtel Nosara](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Selina-Nosara.h32620956.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Redonda 1 minute walk from the beach!
