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

Pros:

Verrassend goede en rustige plek vergeleken met de stad Jacó. We kregen zelfs een grotere kamer beneden met een extra slaapkamer. Goed zwembad en prima ontbijt. Vlakbij het strand voor de zonsondergang.

Pros:

La atención de host muy buena, la piscina es una de las mejores atracciones que tiene el lugar. Además que tiene un concepto natural gracias a las áreas verdes.

Cons:

No me gustó que en el aparato dónde se calienta el agua, ya estuviera descarapelado por dentro y que en el baño no funcionara el dispensador del jabón de la bañera.
