Pros:

Schöne Anlage und großes Zimmer. Durch Gewitter gab es einen Stromausfall - hier wurde schnell reagiert, das alles wieder läuft. Lage gut - Strand direkt um die Ecke.

Cons:

Bad war nicht so einladend. Ich hätte mir mehr Ablageflächen und einen Föhn gewünscht.

Mejor evitarlo
Pros:

El hotel tiene parking propio. La habitación (sin contar el baño) tiene buen tamaño. La zona de piscina es agradable.

Cons:

Nos deprimimos nada más entrar. Necesita una renovación urgente. Las instalaciones exteriores no están mal, pero los interiores son pésimos. El baño (con razón no sale en las fotos) es claustrofóbico, antiguo y la ducha estaba rota. El portarollos era de los grandes estilo gasolinera, los grifos manchados de cal y óxido, las toallas con marcas de humedad... El mobiliario es antiguo, y las sábanas son de estilo "casa de abuela".

Pros:

Schöne Unterkunft, Lage ruhig und nah am Strand, geräumige Zimmer mit sehr gut ausgestatteter Küche, Klimaanlage, sauberer und angenehmer Pool.

Cons:

Direkte Umgebung nicht sehr schön (Hochhäuser, Strand von Jacó im Verhältnis zu anderen costa-ricanischen Stränden deutlich unterlegen).

Pros:

La cercanía a la playa y el Hotel estaba muy céntrico.

Cons:

La piscina estaba muy clorada, el baño estaba sucio y tenía arena y sentí que el apartamento no me gustó. Tenía una de las camas en lo que sería la sala y me pareció feo
