Pros:

Nydelig hotell med kjempefin opparbeidet hage. Fikk rom på bakkeplan med mulighet til å sitte rett utenfor, som var veldig deilig mellom slagene. Kort vei til Strand, restauranter og butikk.

Cons:

Litt ugunstige innsjekkingstider, men fikk god hjelp til å komme oss inn selv når vi kom for sent til å rekke ordentlig innsjekk.

Beautiful place in Samara
Pros:

The garden and the full place is much better then it looks on the pictures. The rooms are nice and convinient, highly comfortable. Many animals all around, monkeys, monitor lizards, parrots, etc. The breakfast is not cheap but very tasty and has a wide selection.

Exceptionnel
Pros:

Nous avons été surclassé dans un somptueux loft. C'était décoré avec goût, la salle de bain était classe avec de nombreuses serviettes à disposition. Nous avions une petite terrasse avec un salon de jardin pour se relaxer en fin de soirée. L'établissement est situé dans un écrin de verdure, très bien entretenu. La piscine est très agréable. On prend le petit déjeuner dans une salle en hauteur avec vu sur la ville et les petits écureuils.

Calm, peaceful retreat a few minutes from the beach.
Pros:

The hotel is a peaceful oasis full of lush greenery. The beds are very comfortable and the hotel has everything you need. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach but in a peaceful location. The owners were very accommodating with our late check in and when we needed plates to eat our leftovers.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Walking distance to the beach. Good restaurants near by. The jacuzzi and heated pool were very clean and nice to use after the beach. They provide towels for the beach. They offer chairs/umbrellas to take to the beach as well. Hearing the birds and howler monkeys every morning was surreal.

Cons:

The WiFi was absolutely awful. It only worked half the time the entire time I stayed. The weather was clear so I don’t understand why. The mirror in the bathroom is not made for short people, I am 5 foot and I could only see the top of my forehead. There are no other mirrors in the single bed room. (Just an fyi) When I asked the owner if he could help me find a ride to La Fortuna, he gave me a ridiculous price, basically a private shuttle, knowing that I was a solo traveler. I had to go elsewhere to find a decent price in a shared shuttle.

It was prefect for me
Pros:

The room was really clean, had a very zen feel to it. There was a microwave, fridge, kettle and coffee facilities. No tea provided though but I had my own as i don't drink coffee
The room was cleaned everyday. The staff were really nice and helpful.
I had the company of 3 iguanas every day whilst I relaxed by the pool.
I arrived later than planned but I was sent a video and instructions on how to let myself in. That was really helpful and considerate.
The location was perfect. 2 minutes from the bus stop and a 5 minutes walk to the beach.

Cons:

There was nothing I didn't like. I had a fabulous stay.
