Volvería de nuevo!
Pros:

La habitación es muy amplia, la cama principal es muy muy cómoda. Todas las instalaciones estaban muy aseadas. Todo el proceso de check in y check out fue fácil y rápido y el personal fue muy atento. La ubicación está muy bien pues tiene acceso directo a la playa, una hermosa vista (no desde todas las habitaciones pero si desde el jardín) y está cerca de restaurantes, supermercados, etc.

Cons:

Los colchones de las camas secundarias no eran TAN cómodos como la principal, pero tampoco eran incómodos. Sería ideal tener una mini área de cocina, aunque sea compartida, para poder alistar pequeñas meriendas o snacks.

It was ok, we were expecting more than what we got out of the stay. Love Costa Rica but we wouldn’t stay at this hotel a
Pros:

The fact that it’s right in the beach was great. The pool was pretty cool as well.

Cons:

My finance was bit by bugs every night. To a point where she had welts on her back on this last morning, very bad. They did not have a restaurant or bar on the site as advertised which made us spend more money that wasn’t budgeted for.

Great value if on a budget. Can’t beat price for beachfront location
Pros:

Friendly professional staff. Large comfortable room. Beautiful beach front location.

Cons:

Due to being off season the 2 nearby restaurants had limited hours and the hotel had no lobby or restaurant so when it rained we just sat on our patio.

Pros:

Direct aan het strand/zee. 2 leuke restaurants voor ontbijt, lunch en diner naast het hotel.

Cons:

Babybedje had geen versteviging onder het matrasje, hierdoor ligt je kindje raar in het bedje. Rond het zwembad heel veel leguanen, als je iets te eten hebt komen ze het afpakken.
Jáco is geen een leuk plaatsje om doorheen te lopen.
