Deceiving Listing — Not What I Expected I booked Best Western El Sitio Hotel in Liberia, Costa Rica through Expedia, and it was extremely deceiving. The photos make it look like a nice, comfortable hotel, but in reality, it feels more like a basic motel. This isn’t a place you’d want to stay for a long period of time. It’s more for travelers passing through or hotel-hopping who just need a cheap night’s stay. The beds were rock hard and uncomfortable. The property has the look of a hotel but none of the comfort. The breakfast was okay — not great, but edible. The location is convenient with several American restaurants nearby like Taco Bell, McDonald’s, Burger King, and KFC, plus a small shopping plaza. There’s also a “mall” about five minutes away, but it doesn’t really have clothing stores or much of anything. On the positive side, the staff were incredibly friendly, kind, and the place was very clean. Overall, it’s fine for a short stay, but definitely not somewhere I’d recommend for a longer vacation.

Room was not as shown in pictures. Furniture was coming apart from humidity, room smelt extremely musty, stains on chairs, bed very hard, bathroom had mold and mildew around tiles. One good thing, i asked to change rooms, from the really bad one and was accommodated. Room was slightly better, still not great. Not worth $180 US a night. Another good thing, we were only staying one night.

Huge property with soccer field, aging tennis court, fully equipped gym, spa, play equipment for kids, walking trails, two beautiful pools. In its heyday probably one of the premier hotels in Costa Rica. Easy to find and great location for exploring Liberia. Van to airport. Very friendly staff with lot of security.
