Pros:

El majestuoso árbol de Ceibo es simplemente impresionante. Los bungalows ofrecen mucha privacidad, el desayuno es delicioso y el sendero directo a Playa Chiquita es un gran plus. Sin duda, un lugar perfecto para relajarse en el Caribe.

El desayuno y personal todo muy bien
Pros:

La vegetación muy linda

Cons:

Nos salieron cucarachas y cien pies en el baño y una cucaracha en una cama yo expresé que si no se fumigaba las habitaciones para evitar estos rastreros y el funcionario de mantenimiento nos indicó que no eran animales salvajes para fumigar hasta sacó las cucarachas y cien pies con la mano

Bonito, pero le falta para ser un 4 estrellas
Pros:

Ambiente 100% en contacto con la naturaleza, cabinas fair, solo tener cuidado que hay algunas con A/C y otras que no…
La piscina muy bonita, buen servicio de toallas, perfecto para escuchar animales y despertar con el sonido de los monos. A solo 10 minutos caminando a playa chiquita.

Cons:

Desayuno a la carta ( no había bufet ), no mucha variedad, regular servicio al cliente durante el desayuno. Mala actitud de la persona que nos atendió.
El servicio al cliente en general es regular, no mal pero no tan bueno.

Pros:

A pesar de vivir en Costa Rica y acostumbrado a hoteles de playa y convivir con animales silvestres, este hotel realmente me sorprendió, la distribución de las habitaciones en medio del bosque, escuchar tantos animales en la madrugada, la limpieza, la comida estupenda y el personal muy atento.

Pros:

Fin hage og ok bungalow

Cons:

Det var ikke vann på hele hotellet om morgenen. Da får man ikke brukt toalettet og det er et stort problem.
