Chillest pirate themed little hotel in a cute village away from the hustle and bustle with views
Pros:

At first glance the hotel listing might seem big and kitschy. In reality, its a cute very chill-vibed hotel with a lovely view of the islands and blue water, access to local beach (not sandy or clear but actually quite swimmable, no waves, locals hang out there too!) as well as boat dock to sit on and enjoy the view. The birds such as parrots were cool to watch at dusk. Free pool table. We had a fridge and microwave, balcony with sofa inside the "cavern". Free tico breakfast was very nice and the dinner was simple but quality too (pepper sauce pork chop and fish).
We did LOVE the pirate vibe though and wish we had time to stay longer in the area. Less chaotic than Nosara

Cons:

The shower plumbing needs a service in the romantic room. Just some new seals and washers would make a world of difference.

Pros:

Es una estafa, el lugar es pésimo, sus habitaciones un asco, no dan lo que ofrecen, ponen una habitación bella y es mentira, ni siquiera existe. Booking me decepcionó porque esto es un estafa de lugar,
Iba a disfrutar con mis tíos y mi esposo el lugar y no existía la habitación que reservamos,
El duelo nos devolvió el dinero, pero luego para buscar un lugar para quedarnos, no encontrábamos, fue una pesadilla.

Cons:

Toooooooooodoooooo

M-arrrrrr-velous!!!
Pros:

The ambience of the resort was incredible. Due to complications in travel plans, we didn't arrive until 10pm. The man working stayed late for us in order to let us in past closing time (we had someone call ahead). After a full day of flights, rental car problems, construction and travel (including an unexpected ferry ride from Puntarenas at the last minute) with 2 girls, 8 and 10 years old, we were feeling exhausted and a little defeated. After all of this, arriving at La Perla felt like magic! The host put the outdoor lights on for us and the girls splashed and played in the cave-pools until almost midnight (luckily, there were no other guests at the time to disturb). They explored all of the little alcoves, finding doors to various rooms up cave-like stairways. The room was so much better than expected, spacious and clean with cool carved bunk beds and 2 double beds as well as a little kitchenette. I can't say much about the area as we had to leave early to catch a 7:30am ferry out, but the resort itself was absolutely fabulous!!! The kids LOVED it and I think it was the favourite room out of our 3 weeks in Costa Rica. It also had it's own little outdoor terrace with private swimming pool. So cool in every way!

Fun themed hotel, with great rooms and nice food
Pros:

This is a great property, with a fun pirate theme. Our room was one of the best during our stay in Costa Rica. The host was friendly and charming. It was a great location, just a few hundred metres from the ferry port. The breakfast and dinner were very good. You can see the bioluminescence in the water after dark, too.

Cons:

I can’t think of any downside, other than the beach is not great, but that’s not what we were looking for, it’s still pretty to look at.

Perfekt um nach einer langen Anreise in Nähe der Fähre zu übernachten.
Pros:

Es war sehr verlassen. Wir waren die einzigen Gäste. Die Unterkunft ist außergewöhnlich. Wir nutzten sie nach einer langen Anreise für eine Nacht als Zwischenstopp.

EXCEPTIONNEL
Pros:

Vraiment une expérience amusante, dans un site exceptionnel. Les aménagements Pirates des Caraïbes sont magnifiques. Nous sommes sortis en kayak pour voir la bioluminescence, mais ce ne fut pas une réussite, pas assez de vagues mais cela reste une très belle expérience. Merci au Monsieur qui nous a emmené. Le dîner et le petit déjeuner étaient excellents. Allez y passer une nuit. L embarcadère pour Puntarenas est à 5mn. Génial.

Cons:

Rien . Le séjour a été très agréable et les lits étaient confortables
