Not what it looks like on the photos
Pros:

It’s located at one of the prettiest beaches in the area. Stuff was very friendly, rather chaotic and incompetent but friendly.

Cons:

The room we were assigned was nothing like you see in the photos. It is located right next to the parking lot. No hammocks no beach flare. No privacy on the tiny terrorist there is , with all sorts of people, walking and driving by . Surrounded by cars , coming and going and lots of weed dealers. Plus an intense smell of weed.

Lovely beach setting , accommodation needs a bit of TLC
Pros:

- wonderful setting and great beach
- Fun beach bar with good food
- spacious room and spacious patio area in our ‘Balcon’ room (name).It had a fridge and mini kitchenette with coffee perculator,(but no coffee), hob and pans.
- You can’t drink the tap water but they provide water here
- Beds and pillows good with nice sheets and towels good
- Nice hammock but smelly so unusable
- Lovely beach towels
- Good sun loungers on beach, no cushions but free of charge
- Easy going atmosphere
- Room housekeeping only every four days
- Bathroom good size and refurbished a bit but shower valve broken so cold shower
- Staff good and helpful if we had a problem
- Hotel parking good
- Restaurant very good and competent. Lovely calamari and tuna tartare
- Breakfasts pretty good
- I would recommend staying but accommodation very basic
- Air conditioned room

Cons:

- Our room ‘The Balcon Room’ was basic and characterless. It had the potential to be cute. (pay an art student to paint a nice mural on wall and buy a couple of bright cushions for room! It would look lovely)
- Ideally, Need a another shelf for clothes and things
- No sidelights, so only one harsh light overhead with fan. You have to get out of bed to turn it off.
- Only one plug socket in room, not near bed
- Private hammock on our large balcony could have been really nice but smelt v bad
- Shower had faulty valves so went from hot to cold and back constantly
- Room included breakfast, but they said we can only choose from two specific items. Why? Felt very unwelcoming…All other breakfast menu items were the same or of similar price! we complained about this and they were helpful and said no problem we could choose from the full menu but it gave a bad first impression on the first day.

Hermoso lugar
Pros:

Un hermoso hotel coloquial caribeño beach front donde la habitación está a 10 mts del mar, puedes oír oleaje desde tu cama. El personal del hotel súper amable (todos costarricenses) y la comida excelente. Camas cómodas y limpieza sin contratiempos.

Cons:

Todo me gustó. Nada más tomar en cuenta que la infraestructura es de madera y como tal puedes oír a tus vecinos, sin embargo nada del otro mundo, así funcionan las cosas en puerto viejo.

Lo mejor del caribe es su gente
Pros:

El trato del personal y la ubicación frente al mar fue lo mejor. Las sábanas y las almohadas muy limpias.👏👏👏👏👍👍 El desayuno muy rico !

Cons:

Lo que me pareció un poquito peligroso fue el lavatorio que está como en el aire, si hay niños es peligroso.

Pros:

Bei der traumhaften Lage direkt am Strand hat die Unterkunft ein hervorragendes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Insbesondere weil sogar das Frühstück dabei war (war nicht angegeben). Der Strand selbst ist herrlich, Papageien fliegen in den Palmen und ein Faultier haben wir auf dem Grundstück auch entdeckt.

Cons:

Die Darstellung der Zimmer ist nicht ganz transparent. Einige Bilder zeigen die Terrasse mit Hängematte und Schaukelstühle. Das betrifft aber nur zwei von acht Einheiten. Die anderen Zimmer sind auch ok, aber halt nicht das was man bei der Darstellung erwartet.

Teilweise ist es extrem laut. Damit meine ich nicht den Tanzabend am Sonntag oder andere Auftritte von Live-Bands (die ganz stimmungsvoll sind). Nervig sind vor allem die unnötig lauten DJs die vor null Publikum spielen und aufgrund der extremen Lautstärke einfach nur nerven. Wir sind deswegen mal vom Strand geflüchtet und haben uns nicht mal vor unserem Zimmer unterhalten können.

Die Lage war gut, ansonsten leider nicht empfehlenswert
Pros:

Die Lage

Cons:

- Sauberkeit
- benutzbarkeit des Bads
- Wände waren nicht „isoliert“ bzw. kein durchgängiges gutes Mosquitonetz, sodass sehr viele Tiere im Zimmer waren auch Fledermäuse

Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt
Pros:

Die Lage war wirklich ein Traum. Wir hatten ein Zimmer direkt am Meer, nur 50 Meter entfernt mit einer tollen Terrasse und einer Hängematte

Cons:

Das Bad war Mini und nicht so sehr gepflegt. Manche Bedienungen an der Bar waren sehr genervt und unfreundlich. Andere wiederum sehr nett.
