Pros:

Right on one of the best reef breaks in Costa Rica.

Cons:

Ant infestation but it's the jungle so is to be expected . Bring borax or ant killer but overall, great value and wildlife abundant.

Excellent stay! Right on the beach. Chill spot we’d love to return to!
Pros:

Loved the proximity to the beach, pool was excellent and restaurant offered wonderful meals. Nice rooms for our family. Loved this spot! Super relaxing vibes!

Cons:

Quite a few bugs the first night (ants), but we took care of that prior to sleeping.
Warm at night (no ac) but we were aware of this and appreciated the good price and knew there were more expensive rooms available with WiFi.

Exponierte Lage mit Defiziten
Pros:

Top Lage mit Blick auf den Strand, relativ großer Pool, Handtücher für Pool, Sauberkeit top.
Wunderschöner Naturstrand

Cons:

Baulärm ab 6. 00 Uhr morgens, Dach vom Restaurant wurde neu eingedeckt. Nur ein Ventilator, kein !! Kühlschrank, Personal mäßig freundlich, wenig Info zum Beispiel Frühstück dazubuchen, extrem teuer. Es gab drei zur Auswahl, alle kosteten pro Person 17,00 €.
Bei Hundebesitzern äußerst beliebter Strand.

No Overnight Staff and Uncontrolled Noise Made It Impossible to Sleep, but amazing location
Pros:

Amazing location by the ocean

Cons:

The stay was very disappointing due to excessive noise. Other guests were partying loudly in the pool throughout the night, making it impossible to sleep. There was no staff available overnight to address the situation, so the disturbance could not be managed. The lack of supervision and enforcement of quiet hours significantly affected our comfort and overall experience.
