Pros:

Situé près de la plage et de la rue principale. Parking pratique. Charme un peu façon Melrose Place de l'hôtel.

Cons:

Seulement 2 options de petits dejeuner. Intérieur des chambres sans charme particulier. Douche fonctionnelle mais pas pratique.

Pros:

The room was clean and had good facilities like fridge and more. We just didn't use them

Cons:

The neighborhood was fine in the morning and day time. We were asked if we are going to be out after 10pm and we said not really. Most late would be get back in by 10pm. We were not told that it would be very dangerous after 10pm just that there would be a guard at 10pm. We only stepped out at 10pm one night just a minute away to the nearby restaurant for dessert and wasn't planning to be gone long. However, just the literal 1 min walk and then another 2 min walk towards the hotel was very scary for 2 females who were not under any influence. Would not recommend this area if you even plan. to be outside at 9pm. We later spoke to reception and she said yes she also doesn't go out around that time alone or with her sister. We felt like if that was the case, it would have been nice to be told 10pm is very scary outside. Just outside the hotel as we came back from the restaurant because they were closed, we had cars stop and stare at us. We went inside a nearby hotel "Ibiza Hotel" until they drove away and had their front desk step outside because we felt so unsafe. Hotel itself seemed safe and there were locals from other parts of costa rica with familIes. We visit Jaco beach and nearby cafes.
