Pros:

Reichhaltiges Frühstück.
Ein Spaziergang durch die Hotelanlage, über die Strasse, und schon ist man am Strand. Am Strand hat es schlne Strandbeizli.

Cons:

Unsere Unterkunft war super! Aber es gibt Bereiche, die renovationsbedürftig sind.
Es wird nicht darauf geachtet, dass geduscht wird, bevor man in den Pool steigt!?

Fijn luxe verblijf
Pros:

Prachtig luxe verblijf. Lief personeel.

Cons:

Strand viel tegen helaas door de hoge waterstand / erosie. Helaas is er bijna geen strand meer, Hier hadden we de accomodatie wel om geboekt.

Hezké ubytování u pláže
Pros:

Hezký areál plný zvířat, bazén teplý, ceny super. Snídaně bohaté.

Cons:

Všude opravdu velké množství velkých pavouků - venku. Nikde se o tom nepíše, tak jen ať lidé nejsou překvapeni.

Pros:

Swim up bar. Buffet breakfast with egg bar. Proximity to beach.

Cons:

Found out the hard way that directly across from hotel, Playa Cocles has rip currents. I barely made it out.

Jungle oasis with plenty of amenities
Pros:

Beautiful oasis, with some jungle aspects. We had a sloth around the pool yesterday. Howler monkeys to wake us up. Birds above. Leaf cutting ants in the night.
Bed was comfy and clean. Facilities in the main area were great. Lovely location, on sea front, local restaurants, slightly quieter end of town. We hired bikes which made getting about easy.

Cons:

Our downstairs kitchen and private outside space were not places we wanted to spend time. Damp and dark.
The sea is good for surfing, not so much for swimming. But there are plenty of other beaches further along. So beautiful.

GÉNIAL
Pros:

Les bungalows au milieu de la forêt, à distance les uns des autres, sans aucun vis à vis. La proximité avec la nature et les animaux visibles dans l’ensemble de l’hôtel, et de nombreux singes se faisaient entendre la nuit, dépaysement total dès notre arrivée au Costa Rica.
Petit déjeuners variés
À proximité de la plage et de nombreux restaurants à pieds.
A proximité des parcs cahuita et manzanillo (en voiture)
Bref, tout était parfait

Cons:

Rien
