This hotel is charming and lovely with 5 star rooms and dining. The bar had amazing drinks and it would be a very expensive hotel if it wasn’t directly on the highway. The views of the ocean are breathtaking but it’s literally on top of the highway so you hear and smell trucks and ambulances.

Amazing little hotel

We LOVED this hotel. It's beautiful, has great food, check in was easy - but the service really made our stay great. They went above and beyond to take care of us, and the manager Rebeca was responsive (all hours!) to ensure this was the case. So highly recommended!

Classic Beauty!

Stunningly beautiful hotel with classic Old World feel. Friendly, charming staff. Fabulous location with the best view in Ojochal from the pool, deck and ocean view rooms. Great food. I particularly loved the afternoon coffee and cookies. I 100% adored this hotel. It’s absolutely charmingly perfect!

Charming Boutique Hotel, pleasant surprise

Very Wonderful, Amazing find last minute. Especially arriving in the pouring rain at night. Francisco was super inviting and then Carlos came to us as well with much hospitality. The chef put out amazing food for dinner and then we woke up the following morning to magnificent views and wildlife while eating breakfast by the pool. The breakfast was delicious and just as impressive as the dinner! A secret hideaway, should not be missed.

Not A "Luxury" Hotel - Watch Out

I think this used to be a very nice hotel and the management has started to ignore it. For reference, I have 15 years living in Costa Rica. Upon arrival, there was a VERY nice guy named Francisco that helped us check-in. However, upon walking into the lobby, it became apparent that the establishment was severely understaffed. We went to the room, changed, and immediately came down for a drink. First cocktail took 35 minutes because Francisco had WAY too much to do. At dinner, 45 mintues to get food. Two plates, very good. Tuna tartar we stopped eating because we thought the fish might be bad. We stayed in room #2. Mattress springs completely shot. Pillows super lumpy. Great shower and nice balcony. While everything was super busy and Francisco was being overworked, there was a "manager" sitting at a computer the entire time we could see from our table in the restaurant. I found out who they were because I asked Francisco. We were told breakfast was at 6:30. When we came down at 6:25, there was Francisco. I asked "How long for breakfast?" and he replied "20 minutes if you want fruit - longer for pinto." Give me a break management! Not a luxury hotel by any stretch.

Perfect place for relaxing, friendly staff and great food. Too bad the jacuzzi was not working at warm temperature. Looks like they ate renovating, worth visiting again after renovation.
