Really worth the price
We really liked our night at the hotel. We were staying during rain season and the roof of our room started to leak. I contacted the front desk via WhatsApp and they immediately moved us to another room with no issue. It is worth the price, and it was really clean. The restaurant was really good, much more than what we were expecting. Local traditional food, not extraordinary but very tasty and pleasant. It was perfect for a short stay!

We enjoyed a night here before shifting to Dreams Las Mareyas, the site of the wedding event we attended. We hoped to have a nice comfortable night for significantly less cost and we were pleasantly surprised. Our room was neat and clean, the bed was comfortable with decent pillows and the air condition blew nice and cold. Dinner at the restaurant was good. I had an excellent steak. Beach was quiet and pleasant. We also enjoyed seeing the wild cows that roamed on the premises.

Food was incredible! Amazing! So delicious and fresh!! Staff was beyond incredible with great service. Only downfall was we didn’t have hot water — they tried to fix it, we thought it was working but when we took a shower it was cold. We were only there for 2 nights and didn’t realize the fix they did still didn’t work until almost bedtime the night before we left, no big deal. We would totally go back!!

The area of Guanacaste is beautifully wild and this is a comfortable place to enjoy it. It is fun to watch the kite surfers on the beach and the whole place feels clean, safe and family friendly. I wish the room had a couch or table and a microwave or stove. I really loved how we were in the Costa Rica wilderness yet enjoying a nice place to stay.
