Renovations, Strong Smell, Excessive Humidity, and an Unavailable Beachfront Pool
Pros:

During our stay, the hotel was undergoing renovations. In addition to the noise and the extremely strong smell of paint and solvents, the beachfront pool was unavailable. Furthermore, the rooms 60s and 70s are extremely humid. Their windows face the interior of the hotel, while the tall vegetation blocks out natural light and prevents adequate airflow.
Our clothes smelled musty because they would not dry, even after leaving them on the terrace or indoors for several days. The humidity was so severe that condensation made the floor wet and caused the paint to peel

Belle nature mais pas à la hauteur d’un 4 étoiles
Pros:

L’emplacement était bien proche du centre de Puerto viejo avec plein de restaurants autour. Nous étions dans la villa Frida et la nature était magnifique autour. Diego était aux petits soins pour nous il était top.

Cons:

La villa est loin de l’hôtel à 5 minutes en voiture impossible d’y aller à pied. La villa n’est pas étanche les menuiseries sont très vieilles et ne fermaient pas jusqu’au sol donc il y avait des crabes qui rentraient régulièrement dans la maison, ça nous faisait très peur. La maison est très humide et condensait beaucoup et la piscine méritait un petit rafraîchissement. Elle ne mérite pas un 4 étoiles par rapport à d’autres locations qu’on pourrait avoir.

Great breakfast
Pros:

Traveling in this part of the world, you sometimes need a vacation from your vacation, a place where everything works and you can take care of whatever lingering discomfort or business that obtains, reliably and without strife. WiFi is excellent all over the faculty, air conditioning is wonderful, beds comfortable and staff is bilingual. The location is a bit too far to walk to town, although there are a couple of great restaurants nearby. The breakfast buffet is nicely extravagant, so you could let it serve for both breakfast and lunch.

Somewhat Disappointing
Pros:

The hotel overall was nice. I initially chose this hotel because I like to support the local economy. The restaurant sits on the beach and the staff is very cordial and accommodating. The breakfast buffet is also good. I only gave the hotel 2-stars for these reasons:
1. We were put in the wrong room (one king bed) upon arrival. We arrived at 1:20am due to road closure because of storms and re-routing. It took us 5.5 hours to get there from San Jose' airport, so we were exhausted. We were moved to another room with two Queen beds which had a fresh paint smell but because we were so tired, we let it go. We initially thought the paint smell would dissipate, it never did.
2. The room had no ventilation, it was humid and floors were sticky. The air conditioning helped, but it didn't address the issues. Because of the humidity inside the room and outside, our clothes stayed damp and the bathroom was damp the entire stay.
3. There were no plugs on the table between the two beds, only on the outside of the bed.
4. We tolerated all of this, but the biggest challenge was we put in a room on the 1st level with a child above us. The child was up running off and on from 7a.m. - 10p.m. We hesitated to complain because we didn't want to be moved to the second floor due to heavy luggage. However by Day 4, we'd had enough. When we complained, their solution was to move us again to another room. I asked, are you aware we've already been moved before. The manager said this would be the best solution for everyone without even talking to the other guests. So I said, your solution is to inconvenience us again, although we're not the cause of the problem. This was unacceptable. We opted to just remain where we were since we had two more nights, but we weren't happy.
5. There was construction going on outside of the room the entire time we were there. This woke us up every morning.
Unfortunately while the hotel itself is nice, I would not stay there again.

Gigi's disappointing cocktails
Pros:

We only stopped for cocktails and afternoon appetizer at Gigi's, did not stay at the hotel. The drug paraphernalia in the designated parking was a slight surprise. While the grounds and views of the ocean are beautiful, the warm beers - 2 varieties, and weak happy hour cocktails detracts from the experience and would contribute to a decision to stay there.
