“Quaint beach hotel”

This hotel has a fantastic location. It’s right across from the gorgeous black sand beach. The ocean here is calm and warm.

This hotel has a fantastic location. It’s right across from the gorgeous black sand beach. The ocean here is calm and warm. The hotel is far enough out of town you don’t hear and party noise but close enough you can walk. The pool is clean and refreshing. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are clean and spacious. This hotel is a throw back to the early days of tourism in Costa Rica. If you want to experience a quiet and rustic vacation, this is a great place. Just be aware there is no air conditioning at the hotel.

This hotel has the perfect beach front location and is ideally situated if you're looking for a quiet holiday or peace and quiet. The room was clean and the toilet, shower rooms were all ok too, sadly my bed was very uncomfortable and the pillows, well let's just say they need replacing!! The breakfast was very limited (see pictures) no toast, no juice and no milk for the coffee for the first two days!! We were told the restaurant and bar area would be open for us during the evening, however this never opened so we either visited the hotel next door for food and drinks (which were both very good, Hotel Banana Azul) or we went into the town. This is either a 25ish minute walk along the beach or along the road and track, however both are tricky in the dark!! A tuk tuk costs around 2500 colón so there's really no need to risk your life in the dark!!
