We headed to this hotel the 1st evening of our arrival to Costa Rica. It is conveniently located 30 minutes from the Liberia airport. It was a perfect place to arrive. The room was confortable, large and clean, the garden was beautiful and the restaurant-bar was very nice. We had a very good breakfast the next morning, included in the price of the room. A very good value.

Strongly recommend reading negative reviews. This hotel consists of two totally separate properties, one is three star, the other barely qualifies as one star. We saw the pretty pictures—all of which are of the three star hotel, but unfortunately ended up in the dump. Inadequate bedding, inadequate window covers, zero amenities, one bare lightbulb, not even a chair to sit in. The property also refused to refund anything when we needed to switch hotels. We love Costa Rica, but we do not love this property. Do not recommend it.

*I am guessing the good reviews are from the main hotel. There are both a main hotel, and a secondary location that is over a block away. Review is of the secondary location* We got to the hotel pretty late. After checking in, we were told the only rooms available were at the secondary location across the street, and she would grab the golf cart to take us over there. We pile into the cart with our bags and we were off. We go one block, around a corner, and almost another block before we pull up to the other location. Our car is back at the main hotel 2 blocks away because there is no parking. Cool. I dont mind a few extra steps here or there. Not the most convenient, but it's fine. She unlocks the gate and leads us to the room. When she opens the door, I look in and am greeted with what can only be described as comparitive to a crack house. The paint on the walls was chipped. The light/fan was half burned out, there was a cloth closet in a corner, the tile in the bathroom was cracked and dirty, and the tiny mirror was placed so high I could only see half my face. For refrence, Im 5'6" so unless your around 5'10", all the luck to you. It was late, so even though we are all disgusted, we decided to get some sleep and maybe, just maybe, it would look better in the morning. (It, in fact, did not look better in the morning). The hotel seriously lacks soundproofing, so we were sung to sleep by the neighbors dog barking, rooster crowing, and the numerous cars driving by. Needless to say, we forefited the last 2 nights that we booked and went to Tamarindo. I dont mind a dive hotel here or there if it's clean and you're expecting it to be crappy, but when a room is $150/night I expect it to be at least half decent. Attaching pictures so that you dont have to take my word for it.…

First the good- The location is the best. Close to everything. The staff were all very nice. The pool area was nice and cozy. The food at the restaurant at night was really really good. Also be sure to check out the steak place near the second set of rooms, so good! The not so good- We booked four rooms here. When we checked in, half our group got rooms in the main building and half our group was down the street. The rooms around the corner, are really rough and old. Our rooms never got cleaned in the several days we were there, even though we hung the sign. Since there are no phones, we walked back to the front to ask why our rooms didn't get cleaned since we had piled our towels and now they were all wet. They had no reason, just told me to take some pool towels. Our shower didn't really drain and the sprayer just went all over the place and flooded the bathroom every time we showered. It just felt like we didn't even belong to the same hotel, like we were kinda forgotten over there. Those rooms are also next to a residential apartment building. Someone there locked a dog on the porch and it barked nonstop from about midnight till 3 am. Good times.... One day we returned from the beach ready to hit the pool, to find it full of kids. They had rented (?) out the pool area for a dance group. There were no available seats and there were over a dozen children running around. Not exactly enjoyable for the paying customers.…

This is actually 2 completely different hotels under one name. They aren't even on the same property. Its like the big house plus the servants quarters. And the price differential reflects that. The main hotel is $175+ per night and the secondary hotel $80 or less per night. Both are overpriced for what they offer in my opinion. You can find better in both price categories, especially on airbnb but other hotels as well. The secondary hotel is an ant infested dump with sparse furnishings. The main hotel is nice which is why most of the TA reviews are good. Read the reviews on booking.com which specify room type and also Expedia. I was initially booked for a standard room through a travel agency, but paid to upgrade when I saw it. I would have gone elsewhere but my booking was non-refundable. That's money I would have preferred to spend elsewhere, so pretty po'ed. The breakfast would have been fine except for the swarms of flies that attempt to share it with you. Although my stay in the main hotel was fine, I am giving this place a low rating because it should be a crime to market these under the same umbrella. The secondary hotel is a one star or less and the main hotel is a solid 3 star, but the entire place is ranked 3 stars. That is deceptive and unfair.…

We stayed in room E, which is a very large upstairs loft with a vaulted ceiling. It felt a little dated, but it was a nice enough place to crash for the night in Coco. Probably a 10 minute walk to the strip in Coco. The bar comfortable, and the staff was friendly. Breakfast was average, check in and out was easy. Recommended for a short stay. Couldn't imagine a week there.

Another very accurate trip advisor recommendation! Lives up to its reviews, this charming retro place is well kept, large rooms, lovely chill pool and well tended garden/grounds. The big tree near the pool had parrots, iguanas and many other birds visiting, amazing! Great location and off the main strip but very close to the beach. The people working there are all super friendly and nice. Loved our stay there at the end of our trip before heading back home. Conveniently close to the airport!

We picked this hotel based on the proximity to the beach and the airport. Location was excellent, hotel was clean and tidy. Basic hotel but all we needed for the night. The bar was packed when we returned from dinner, full of welcoming expats willing to answer all of our questions about the area. Perfect spot if you are going down the coast and need a rest from your travels on arrival.

Our stay was for two nights in mid-November, just as the tourist season is starting to heat up. The hotel is a short walk to the lively main street but far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet. Our room was just off the pool and had a (very firm) king-sized bed, plus extra seating areas inside and out, a microwave, handy mini-fridge, and large TV we did not use. The on-site Garden Bar is fantastic, with ice-cold drinks, tasty food, and very friendly staff. They had live music on Saturday night, which could be heard throughout the property but ended before 10 pm, and a lively market midday on Sunday. The pool was lovely and unlike a previous reviewer, we did not find the music from the restaurant to be overwhelming or intrusive while we relaxed in the loungers during the day. The beach is a quick walk away and popular with local families. We spent our beach time on the quieter north end, then walked back on the busy main drag, where there were countless food and drink options as well as grocery, ATMs, etc. After spending some time on the main street, we were happy to have this quiet oasis to come back to. We will definitely stay here again if we return to the area!…
