Unbeatable Location + Stunning Rooftop = Perfect Stay 🌊✨
Pros:

Unbeatable location — literally steps to the beach with everything walkable, plus a supermarket right downstairs. The new rooftop pool is absolutely stunning with incredible sunset views, and the suites are top-tier. Huge shoutout to Paris and his team who went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable!

Cons:

Honestly, nothing — everything exceeded our expectations. If anything, we just wish we could have stayed longer!

Nothing

Cómodo
Pros:

Las camas super cómodas y la ubicación al frente de la playa

Cons:

No hay espacios comunes donde estar, la cocina muy chica y no hay donde estar además de la habitación/cama
El baño siempre estaba sucio con mucha arena, le hace falta más limpieza durante el día.

Pros:

L’emplacement, le restaurant, l’accueil nous a même aider à trouver du stationnement. Nous étions 2 dans la suite familiale et c’était très spacieux et propre, le café prêt le matin!

En face de la plage et en plein milieu de la rue principale avec les restos et boutiques!

Cons:

L’établissement était en rénovation et ils nous avaient averti qu’ils débuteraient après 8hrs mais à 6-6:30 le bruit de la construction commençaient. La suite n’a pas de fenêtre qu’on peut voir à l’extérieur mais nous quittions la chambre tôt le matin et revenions le soir .

Make sure the construction is completed before staying there unless you are an early riser
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

Construction was going on right above our room. They didn’t tell us until the day before we arrived. The work was supposed to start at 9:00 am but both mornings they were working by 6:30 am. It was disappointing because the rest of the stay was great.

Pros:

Bedden waren erg lekker en de airco was 24/7 aan in de kamer dat was top! De surf les met Luca was ook uitstekend:) Daarnaast was Oscar buitengewoon behulpzaam met het de tips om naar La Fortuna te komen!

Cons:

De gemeenschappelijke Ruimte kon beter. Zou fijn zijn als je ergens binnen ook nog fijn kon zitten
