    The hotel on the website depicted a beautiful hotel with all these amenities, like a pool, cable tv, and air-conditioning but when we got there it was the biggest dump. There were no amenities, the place was dirty it looked like it hadn't been clean in years. No a/c, no pool, no tv and get this no toiletries or towels. We left after that first night and had to pay to stay at another hotel. The customer service was awful and I don't know how they are still in business.

  • Good Location

    The hotel is located on a black sand beach. We had an ocean view room with a small fridge, a small cable TV and AC. We use AC almost all the time, it was hot. The room is very simple. The bathroom has an electric shower head that provides some warm water. If you ask for towels, you get them. No maid service that was OK with us. I don't like anyone in my room. The manager was very helpfull. People are very friendly there but not everyone speaks English. It would help to know Spanish but you definetely can get without it. There is a restaurant on the property and another one a few minutes walk. There are also pizzeria, an Internet cafe (about $2 to use a computer for an hour), a tour place and a small grocery store nearby. Food was very good and reasonably priced, about $6 lunch and $12 dinner, a whole plate. All places including buses accept dollars but we'll give you change in colones(Costa Rica's money). $1 is about 500 colones. We felt safe there, still watch you stuff. Somebody stole my son's shoes when we visited the Manuel Antonio National park beach. The park is on a white sand beach and for a nominal fee you can get in a protected rainforest to see monkeys and other animals. We didn't see any monkey. Also the park is closed on Mondays. The tour costs $75+ but two buses to get there only $5 both way. Tours are expensive, specify all details such as pick up and return to the hotel. We had a tour provided by ATX and they charge us $10 for bringing back without even informing us before the ride.

    The surroundings are beautiful and relaxing; the people friendly and warm. The rooms, however, are very spartan; cold showers, no closet, no soap, no towels. The linens could use updating as well. Overall a good time- definitely worth the price. The restaurant next to the 'hotel' was great- friendly service, excellent food.
