Beautiful but dangerous.
Pros:

Location was great, breakfast was adequate, in fact they would make you anything you wanted.

Cons:

My opinion may be affected by seeing the body of a drowned man being pulled out of the water right after we got there. But the shower used a tankless hot water heater built into the showerhead. This was okay, except that the wiring was exposed. A day or so later I noticed a light switch inside the shower. There is a separate shower behind the pool to rinse off your feet with a hose. There was also exposed wiring up in a corner. The water from the hose could perhaps get up there. Later we had dinner with a Costa Rican friend who is an electrician. I showed him the photos and he said "Very dangerous!"

Pros:

Un hotel surprenant et qui correspond a son nom. Ici le calme est de mise : plage deserte et coucher de soleil au calme.

L’hotel est vetuste mais c’est un detail a coté du lieu exceptionnel ou il se situe. Le personnel est adorable, mention speciale a Francesco de la manutention qui aide tout le monde. Un petit paradis perdu entre la plage et l etang ou les singes et les ecureuils viennent nous rendre visite le matin.

Cons:

Il manque pas mal d ustensile plur cuisiner et ceux qui sont là sont vieux

Nevrátili by sme sa
Pros:

Palo Seco je naša obľúbená oblasť. Dlhá cesta popri pláži a unikátna atmosféra. More bolo čisté a priezračné napriek neďalekej rieke a každý deň sme si užili oheň na pláži pri západe slnka. O záhradu je krásne postarané a raňajky boli veľmi dobré, aj keď treba dlho čakať. Matrace v izbách boli veľmi tvrdé, čo nám vyhovovalo.

Cons:

Náš dom bol najďalej od pláže, čo by až tak nevadilo, ale pocitovo bol súčasťou parkoviska a nie záhrady. Dom by potreboval hĺbkové čistenie. Izby boli v poriadku na prespatie, ale okná si nepamätali umývanie a celkovo sme z domu nemali pocit, že by na ňom majiteľovi záležalo. Postele mali hrubé prikrývky, ktoré však nemali obliečky, a tak sme z toho mali zvláštny pocit. Uteráky mali veľa škvŕn. V kuchyni nás čakala pleseň v kávovare, jediný hrniec, čo tam bol, bol hrdzavý. Ryžovar bol taktiež v zlom stave a všetko sme si pred používaním museli umyť. Skrinky boli zatuchnuté a radšej sme ich potom ani neotvárali. Nečakali sme niečo extra za pomerne nízku sumu za ubytovanie na Kostarike, ale chýbala tomu láska a pozornosť.

After a really long drive it was so disapointing
Pros:

There wasn't alot to like sin e we didn't make it past our horible room

Cons:

The room was disgusting. Bed bugs and cockroaches everywhere. The toilet seat was broken, the towels were wet and smelled bad. The manager was nice after noticing the condition of the room however it was his job to inspect the room before we arrived so I didn't believe he didn't know the room looked like that. No one else was working there so I'm sure he was the one who cleaned also. Don't sell this hotel until they upgrade something.

Bel emplacement mais déçu par l'hôtel
Pros:

Hotel super bien placé au bord de la mer avec une vue exceptionnelle. La gentillesse du personnel

Cons:

Hotel vieillot, et moyennement entretenu. Il ne correspond plus tout à fait aux photos... Le petit déjeuner était prévu à 8h sauf que rien n'était prêt à 8h, il fallait attendre une demi heure de plus pour avoir le petit déjeuner.

Perfekt für einen Zwischenstopp von 2 bis 4 Tage, wenn man keine Ansprüche hat.
Pros:

Lage am einsamen kilometerlangen Strand.

Cons:

Wir hatten leider Pech mit dem Zimmer. Es waren Tiere im Badezimmer.
Nach Reklamation wurde mit Insektenspray gesprüht aber am nächsten Tag waren wieder welche da.

Pros:

Sehr ruhige Lage zwischen Strand und Lagune.

Cons:

Das von uns gebuchte Zimmer war nicht frei.
Das ohnehin erst ab 8 angebotene Frühstück war eher enttäuschend und kam erst kurz vor 9.

Pros:

Super Lage, an einem sehr ruhigen Strand one viele Touristen. Zum Surfen ideal, auch für Anfänger. Die Anlage ist weitläufig und es gibt nur wenige Zimmer, sodass es sehr ruhig ist. Personal ist sehr freundlich und man bekommt meist alles was man braucht, wenn man danach fragt (siehe Kritikpunkte unten).

Cons:

Die Anlage ist extrem veraltet und vieles ist in sehr schlechtem Zustand. Der Name "Resort" ist völlig übertrieben. Es ist eher eine Ferienwohnung die man auf einem Hotelgelände bucht. Keine tägliche Zimmerreinigung, man muss jedes Mal das Personal fragen. Frühstück entspricht nicht den Bildern (sehr mau, oft das Gleiche) und wurde immer zu spät serviert. Restaurant auf der Anlage nur an manchen Tagen geöffnet. Viele streunenden Hunde auf der Anlage.
