We enjoyed a night here before shifting to Dreams Las Mareyas, the site of the wedding event we attended. We hoped to have a nice comfortable night for significantly less cost and we were pleasantly surprised. Our room was neat and clean, the bed was comfortable with decent pillows and the air condition blew nice and cold. Dinner at the restaurant was good. I had an excellent steak. Beach was quiet and pleasant. We also enjoyed seeing the wild cows that roamed on the premises.

Food was incredible! Amazing! So delicious and fresh!! Staff was beyond incredible with great service. Only downfall was we didn’t have hot water — they tried to fix it, we thought it was working but when we took a shower it was cold. We were only there for 2 nights and didn’t realize the fix they did still didn’t work until almost bedtime the night before we left, no big deal. We would totally go back!!

Bon hôtel pour les plages proche de La Cruz .
Complexe hôtelier bien situé, on est à 10 minutes en voiture de plages magnifiques pour se baigner . La plage devant l'hôtel est très venteuse mais la vue est belle. Nous avions une chambre superieure ; très grande , propre , climatisée et des lits super confortables. On y dort bien : pas de chants de coq , de chiens ou de singes ;-) seul point negatif , le resto le soir n'est pas très bon et assez onéreux.

No hot water. Needs upgrades
Great service and food was good although priced high. There was NO hot water and water shortages were upsetting considering we paid $170/night incl taxes. We both woke with allergies from the room. The whole place needs renovations but nice location right on the beach although SUPER windy. It was worth $80/night or less but no more and is definitely only a 2 or 3 star hotel which we were mislead to believe was a 4 star.

Probably one of the nicest, if not THE nicest in the area. But be aware that it can be very windy day after day, which is why this area is a Mecca for kiteboarders (I am, wife is not). Otherwise, super great complimentary full breakfast , and lunch and dinners were very affordable. One suggestion: have coffee available for guests before 7 am. Seems to be common in CR, but waiting that hour between sunrise and your first cup of java is rough!

The area of Guanacaste is beautifully wild and this is a comfortable place to enjoy it. It is fun to watch the kite surfers on the beach and the whole place feels clean, safe and family friendly. I wish the room had a couch or table and a microwave or stove. I really loved how we were in the Costa Rica wilderness yet enjoying a nice place to stay.

The property was poorly maintained. No hot water at all. No ice for guests unless you went to bar, also no coffee until 7am in restaurant only. Pool area was dirty and not maintained. Very bare minimum room. Don’t stay here! We left after 1 night, with no refund!

Staff was excellent. Rooms need updating (we stayed in a studio). Bed was adequate (appreciated the feather pillows). On premises restaurant food was good. Room drapes are “tired” and not very functional, can only be partially closed. Room decor rather spartan. Pool area decent, separate wading pool for children. Most of the landscaping is currently dry (i.e., no irrigation of the grass area), but it is the dry season here. Property has access to a small beach area, but we did not use it due to the very windy conditions while we were here. Management appears to be trying to do a good job, property just not quite there yet.
