Pros:

Las instalaciones comunes nos encantaron, con un estilo rústico pero muy bien diseñado y cuidado. Las playa es hermosa y el mar muy tranquilo. La experiencia que te ofrece Los Vivos es maravillosa.

Cons:

Algunas filtraciones en el piso de la cabaña permiten el ingreso de insectos al interior. Deberían cuidar la hermeticidad o sellado de la habitacion. No obstante, el alojamiento superó nuestras expectativas.

A trap in Dreamland
Pros:

The location is amazing. The beach is absolutely fantastic with warm waters.

The hotel is located on an isolated part of Costa Rica which is nice for those who want to get away from noisy places.

The restaurant offers a nice food menu and the local staff was nice.

Cons:

When we arrived at the hotel, the owners were having a party with lots of loud music, awful barbecue smokes everywhere. We understand this was for a birthday party, although their indecent attitudes (smoking, drinking, shouting) was really not pleasant to see for people like us that just wanted to discover Costa Rica and get in touch with authentic experiences. None of this aligned with what we were looking for, which is a pity cause the area is beautiful.

The isolation of the hotel makes it mandatory to stay in the resort for everything. The hotel is only accessible by boat and you need to pay to get back to the other side where our car is parked. That means we we were stuck at the hotel, even for the food, and the restaurant was dramatically expensive (about 175$ for 3 plain meals and very few drinks)

The room had no decoration at all, very simple. For the price we paid, we had hoped to get something a bit more pleasant. There was no fridge nor water in the rooms. We even had to pay for the drinkable waters, and we only knew at the end of our stay that a free water fountain was available. We were not aware of this.

We wanted to get rid of this place from the start.

Deux jours à Los Vivos dans le cadre de deux semaines au Costa Rica
Pros:

L’isolement de l’établissement qui permet une déconnexion totale. La chambre était également très bien. L’établissement a des partenariats avec plusieurs organisateurs d’excursions qui permettent une multitude d’excursions.

Cons:

Les prix étaient fort élevés. Exemple, le cocktail à 10.000 colons. De cette façon, l’établissement prend un peu les hôtes en otage car le seul moyen d’accéder à l’hôtel se fait par bateau (qui est payant en dehors du check-in et du check-out). Il ne faut non plus négliger la manutention des bagages pour arriver à l’hôtel surtout si on réalise un trip de plusieurs semaines. En effet, il faut laisser sa voiture sur le parking d’un camping à proximité de l’embarcadère.

ein unglaublich schöner Ort mit sehr herzlichem und gut ausgebildetem Personal und behebbaren Schwac
Pros:

Der Ort die Lage und das. Personal wie auch das Essen ausnehmend gut. Bett sehr in Ordnung., „ ein Naturschauplatz der Seinesgleichen sucht…!!!

Cons:

Das Zimmer sehr karg ausgestattet , keine Ablagemöglichkeiten, bzw Tisch und Stühle. Schlechte Dämmung der Decke, sehr laute Tritte vom darüberliegenden Zimmer , ohne Oropax schlafen nicht möglich..!!! Am frühen Nachmittag mit Partybooten überflutet mit unglaublich schlechter Musik und unzumutbar laut. Diese Gruppen feiern am Strand, okkupieren die Hotelsttrandeinrichtungen und hinerlassen dann und wann Unrat..
Das Personal hat sichtlich Stress diese Aktionen einer geordneten und für die Hotelgäste passende Ordnung zu bringen…

Un vrai paradis oublié , pour en profiter 2 nuits minimum
Pros:

La déconnexion totale . On voit à peine les hébergements en arrivant tellement tout est bien intégré dans la nature . La courtoisie et la bienveillance du personnel. Restaurant délicieux. Transats au bord de la plage avec petit cocktail, super sympa. Diverses activités proposées.

Cons:

Pour arriver à l’hôtel il faut prendre un petit bateau à moteur, il faudrait trouver un capitaine plus accueillant et souriant.

Gran experiencia
Pros:

El desayuno y la ubicación - excelente

Cons:

A veces les dan prioridad en el comedor a las personas que visitan por el día y las personas huespedes tratan de ubicarlas en lugares menos adecuados.

Cons:

La plage est ultra touristique la journée, environ 300 personnes sur la plage. Cela casse l’ambiance paradisiaque et reculée proposée par l’hôtel.
Les portes ne ferment pas à clé et il n’y a pas de coffre fort.

No lo recomiendo
Cons:

Mi hijo encontró un escorpión en su almohada.
Para entrar y salir del hotel hay que pagar 6 dólares por persona, así que estás condenado a quedarte en el hotel que es muy pequeño.
Como no puedes salir del hotel estás obligado a comer y cenar allí y los precios de la comida y la bebida son desorbitados.
La playa está llena de gente con música. No paran de entrar y salir barcos descargando gente.
El agua es turbia por lo que no puede hacerse esnórquel.
El precio para lo que ofrece es desorbitado. Mejor ir a pasar el día, o un rato e irse a otro sitio a dormir.

Mejor ir solo a pasar el día a la playa
Cons:

No merece la pena quedarse a dormir en el hotel. Si quieres conocer la playa, lo mejor es coger un barco en el camping Don Trino y que te lleven a la playa por 3 dolares.
De todas formas, ten en cuanta que la playa está repleta de gente con música, mesas, sillas, venta de comida. Vamos lo contrario al paraíso que te venden las fotos.
El hotel es carísimo. Calidad precio hay mil opciones mejores por la zona.
