Mooi aangename accomodatie. Nog niet klaar met Sierpe. Komen zeker terug.
Pros:

De ligging langs de rivier. Direct in de natuur. Vogels ara’s, corcodillen. Gebruik van de keuken. Koelkast e.d. Wandelafstand naar het centrum van Sierpe. En een súper vriendelijke Host!! Zij had begrip voor ons besluit.

Cons:

Wij hadden 3 nachten geboekt. Het was snikheet. Ruim boven de 30 graden. De kamer had beschikking over 2 fan’s. Dat was niet voldoende voor afkoeling in de nacht. Na 2 nachten hebben we aan de host verteld dat we zouden vertrekken. Ze had begrip voor ons besluit om te vertrekken.

Pros:

Die Aussicht auf die Flusslandschaft und das der Bus am Hotel direkt vorbeikommt und hält.

Cons:

Das Hostal ist schon ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen, stickige schlechte Luft in dem Zimmer, Ausstattung ziemlich spartanisch. Zimmer sehr hellhörig, Ohropax empfohlen, wenn es Nachbarn gibt.

Voor ons doel (vogels kijken op de rivier) een goede uitvalsbasis. Weinig luxe. Kamers wel schoon.
Pros:

Prachtige grote buitenruimte, met uitzicht op de rivier. Erg aardige eigenaresse. Prima uitvalsbasis voor tocht in Sierpe.

Cons:

De accomodatie is nogal verouderd. Voorzieningen in de keuken zijn beperkt. Kamers zijn warm en bij meer gasten erg gehorig.

Sunset lovers heaven
Pros:

Amazing riverside stay for one night on the way to Drake Bay. Beautiful sunset spot and bird watching. Basic but all you need here. The owners let us leave our car here whilst we visit Drake Bay by boat.

Pros:

L'emplacement génial, au bord du 'Estero Azul'... Cet hôtel est pratique pour découvrir les mangroves alentours ! Il est fonctionnel. L'hôte vous accueille avec le sourire !

Cons:

Il faudrait éteindre la lumière sur le terrasse la nuit venue, ça peut être gênant pour dormir.
Je préfère laisser les WC propres derrière moi, ainsi je recommanderais de rajouter un balai à toilettes :)

Pros:

Location was peaceful by the river and the host is super nice. Our room had a river view. It is just a 10 minute walk on foot to the village and 2 mins by car so it is a good location. It is super peaceful.

Cons:

The accommodation is tired and basic. it is a bit expensive for what it is. We felt sorry for the starving and sick cat in the hotel.

Einfache Zimmer und tolle Terrasse
Pros:

Die Terrasse und die Aussicht sind super! Adriana ist nett und hilfsbereit. Eine super Gastgeberin! Wir sind mehrmals zu Fuss ins Zentrum gelaufen, geht tiptop.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war sehr, sehr eifach. Ein Stuhl oder Regal hat uns gefehlt. Wir hatten auch Mühe mit der Hitze trotz der 3 Ventilatoren. Die gemütliche Ecke auf der Terrasse ist zu klein, sobald mehr als 1 Gruppe da ist, ebenso der Esstisch.

Nice place, bus stops in front.
Pros:

Nice room, spacious, near river

Cons:

I arrived with terrible weather and no car. The rain kept pouring and there’s nothing there. So I couldn’t eat dinner and there was no way I could have breakfast next morning. My bus left at 06:00 am and I hadn’t eaten. Didn’t see the owner anymore

Very good.
Pros:

The location is along the small river, about 800 m from the village of Siepre. This makes it perfect for those wishing to visit the Finca 6 archeological park, which is only about 5-10 minute (relaxed and slow) drive.
I loved that the property is the home of the owner, and she makes available the outdoor kitchen, so I could make myself meals if desired.

Cons:

It's right on the main road...and although it is a small village, the noise of the ubiquitous motorcycles just never goes away.

I ended up staying for three nights instead of only 1 as planned. Gracias a todos!
Pros:

Beautiful on the river, perfect starting point for tours to Corcovado National Park (recommending tours with „La perla del sur“) and very caring hosts.

Cons:

Basic facilities but satisfactory and very clean

Very friendly and helpful owner, not expensive, nice riverside, close to finca 6 and Sierpe village.
Pros:

The owner washed our clothes for free.

Cons:

No airco, while it was very hot at night. The fans saved us from melting, but still.

Great value and wonderful view
Pros:

Perfect spot to overnight on the way to Drake and also to explore Sierpe and surroundings. The staff were really kind and helpful. I arrived super late by bus from San Jose and they went to pick me up in Palmar Norte under the rain and brought me to the accommodation. It was a life saver as I was carrying lots of luggage and finding a taxi under the rain at 10pm was not in my plans. The room is simple but very comfortable with everything that you need, and you wake up to the views of the Sierpe river at your doorstep.

Cons:

It was exactly what I needed
