Pros:

Verrassend goede en rustige plek vergeleken met de stad Jacó. We kregen zelfs een grotere kamer beneden met een extra slaapkamer. Goed zwembad en prima ontbijt. Vlakbij het strand voor de zonsondergang.

Pros:

La atención de host muy buena, la piscina es una de las mejores atracciones que tiene el lugar. Además que tiene un concepto natural gracias a las áreas verdes.

Cons:

No me gustó que en el aparato dónde se calienta el agua, ya estuviera descarapelado por dentro y que en el baño no funcionara el dispensador del jabón de la bañera.

Très bien situé
Pros:

Proche de l'océan et du centre.
Piscine au top.
Personnel très gentil.

Cons:

Mal insonorisé avec l'étage du dessus.
Petit déjeuner à améliorer (les fruits servis étaient des fraises pas mures, c'est dommage dans un pays où il y a autant de fruits frais).

I like the local feel verses the chain restaurant but can be a cost to pay since finances are tighter.
Pros:

Locally owned, friendly helpful staff, great location to beach and town and bus depot. Cute pool with beautiful plants and greenery. Free coffee all day long.

Cons:

Showers could have been hotter and did see some mold. Rooms were hot until they cooled down but we arrived an hour earlier than check-in time.

Goede ligging
Pros:

Dichtbij het strand en een beetje weg van de drukte van de hoofdstraat.
Goed ontbijt, leuk zwembad die ons wel kleiner leek dan op de foto.
