Pros:

I love the owners and how attentive the woman was who checked me in. She was so kind and sweet. She made sure everything was fine and when I had a concern she was on it. You can't beat the location. You are a quick stroll to the beach and restaurants.

Cons:

Well this is a budget stay, so I didn't have much expectations. For instance the towels are hard and not soft at all, I couldn't use them. Thankfully, I brought my own. Also, there were ants but it's Costa Rica, bugs are a part of the package. Also, the pool is more like a hot tub size and could use more cleaning.

This was the perfect find—we had the most wonderful time at Hotel Tabasco and would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Pros:

The location was incredible! A block to the beach, restaurants all around. The breakfast was phenomenal, and the patio and pool area was a favorite spot to relax. The hosts had ice for filling a water bottle, and it was close to the grocery store.

Cons:

Nothing—everything was amazing.

We loved our stay here. Definitely recommend!
Pros:

The owners were amazing and very attentive. Location was perfect. Close to beach and restaurants.

Cons:

The only downside was the loud music at surrounding clubs. It did shut off at 10 pm but if you’re an early to bed type person pack earplugs.

Pros:

Хорошее расположение отеля, очень приветливые хозяева, пекут сами хлеб, вечером такой аромат во дворе! Мы ходили на пляж, нам предложили даже полотенца чистые. Завтрак очень сытный и вкусный. У нашей комнаты на втором этаже была терраса, это очень удобно, она в тени. И даже кофе машина в номере! Рекомендуем!

It was a great place to be for our 1st visit.
Pros:

Breakfast was very good. The owners were very nice. It was helpful being able to borrow chairs and a cooler for a beach day, which is a short walk.
Husband saw monkeys right outside. It was also close to anything you would need with a short walk.

Cons:
