Overall a very great place directly on the beach. Far enough from downtown for quiet night, but still pretty close and walking distance (10-15minutes) to all activities and restaurants. Nice owners and staff

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room facing the street is very, very noisy and it has a bunk bed without a safety bar on the top bunk. My two adult boys had to share a twin bed. After suffering for a night, I asked to exchange to a room that has two double beds the next morning and we were given a better room without extra charge. If the story ended here, I would have given a good review. I was given three keys for the new room and there are no labels. So I had to try one by one. When two keys could not enter and the third key was fully inserted, I naturally thought it was the right one and started to turn. The key was broken right away. It turned out to be the safety box key that I inserted. I was not given a replacement key to use for the safety box. And the lady asked me to pay $40 to replace the key and showed me the contract I signed saying it cost $30 for losing safety box key. I did not lose the key and this is a rip off. And this hotel does not give drinking water or anything. No service at all. This hotel is to be avoided. My experience gave me an impression that people in Costa Rica are not friendly at all and all they want from tourists is money without giving any service. The lady deserves a one star review due to her rude face and her effort to rip me off.

Would not stay again
Was told at check in that there was a private party on site and we would be refunded due to the inevitable noise disruptions. Since then, the owner has refused to refund us despite offering to in the first place and has ignored our attempts at communication (she was very welcoming and helpful prior to this). The room itself was basic, which was fine, but the small towels and thin bedding did not appear to be cleaned or they were just extremely old. The mattresses were thin and they sank when you sat on them. I also bruised myself on the wooded bed frame because it stuck out in the limited space. The piping in the bathroom was all out in the open and the toilet leaked on occasion after flushing. There were very few electrical sockets in the room, in fact there was one and it was sticking out of the wall. The room was never cleaned in the three nights that we stayed in, and the owner told us at check in that her cleaning staff may steal our money if we left it out. As such, we put money in the safe (which was key locked, not PIN locked) and $30 still went missing. Finally, the "city view" that was advertised with our room was merely just a view of the street outside. That said, the hotel is on the beach front, iguanas were frequently on site and there is an unaffiliated restaurant attached to the property.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This one was a little disappointing. Our first night there were mosquitos and stains on the bed sheet and the AC was barely working. There were also tiny aunts in the washroom. The next morning we complained and thankfully they changed the room for us. The location wasn’t bad, the beach is right behind the property but about a 15-20 min walk from the main area. The restaurant downstairs was amazing but I don’t think they are connected to the hotel. There is definitely potential but overall I would’ve paid a bit more and stayed at a cleaner location

The staff were awesome. I sprained my ankle pretty badly in town and they were so helpful. One of the staff is well educated in first aid and he completely assessed my ankle and helped with icing it and immobilizing it. The check in was smooth and very laid back feeling. Room was super clean and great size. They have an outdoor shower to rinse of the sand. The dining room has amazing food. The price was really inexpensive. I would stay there again

This place was right where I wanted to be and easy access to all! Away from all the fuss but close enough to walk to them if I had chosen to. My room was perfect as I can see the ocean in the morning and walk straight out to the river to cross to get to Playa Grande.
