Such a beautiful place! We didn't want to leave!
Beauty every where you look. Easy access to downtown. It was fun to watch the surfers and play in the water. Everyone was friendly, the pool was sparkling clean, and the food was great!

A bit outdated hotel right on a beach. Every member of the staff is very helpful, nice and friendly. Easy 15 minutes of walking distance to Jaco. Beach is beautiful but ideal for surfers not so much to swim. Wildlife is around. Great location. Planning to comeback. P.S. I would only suggest to work on breakfast menu ( same two options all the time) and menu in general.

We had a wonderful, relaxing time. Pool right outside our room with the beach within 50 feet. Beautiful scenery and wildlife. Lunch and supper options were delicious and it was within walking distance to other meal options and shopping. We would stay again

This was a very convenient place to walk into downtown. I would have liked more amenities and labeled champions and soap but it worked as a base hotel. The staff was very friendly and available and the surfing was great!

Consider that the good reviews for this place are based on its affordability. The property is very dated and had more of a surfer community feel, while we were more looking for a nice beach front property with pool to relax in. The breakfast was not good but all staff were very friendly and accommodating.
