A better WIFI system is very much needed. The info on your website indicates dogs welcome but when we arrived they told us dogs not allowed but they made an exception.

For the price they charged (nearly 110 US dollars per night), the hotel was poorly lit, the room was in a poor shape (bathroom in particular with mold on the ceiling, a gaping drainage hole from the shower stall, dirty shower stall), and the hotel grounds were poorly kept. It was far away from any decent restaurant. The only good thing going for it is closeness to the crocodile bridge in Tarcoles.

Macaws!
Great value for the money. Right on the beach with a nice pool and restaurant/bar. Macaws flying overhead and the iguana perched on a porch light help with the ambience.
