My stay was wonderful, such a warm welcome from the hostess Karina who with her kindness made it feel like home, she went above and beyond to accomodate. Having the cafe right there at the hotel was such a treat, so much love was put into the food, I had the most delicious chicken sandwich, it was so good I had to get a second one to go on my way to the airport which was close and easeful to get a taxi to. The room was simple, clean, spacious and modern, very comfortable. Muchas gracias

Stay was good, but we booked a room for 2 people, when it says breakfast included it only includes a breakfast for 1 person. That’s what we think they can improve. It is confused

Definitely recommended for a budget stay near LIR
Basic room, this is not our first stay here. The price is right for an overnight stay and only 7 min. drive to LIR. The shower plumbing issue is always an issue and the pillows need to be updated. The AC unit takes forever to cool the room. Thankfully, the barking dogs next door get locked up at sunset.

1st time in Costa Rica
Communication was great. Coming in after hours, it was easy to find and follow the instructions to get into the room. Air conditioning was so-so, but did the job! The room had a fan also. So it was comfortable. The breakfast was amazing! So good! Great place to stay for the night if you need to be by the airport.

Staff service was excellent. The room was clean. The breakfast was spectacular and the portion was perfect. You may listen noise at night because it is too close to the highway, but in general it’s a great stay.

Too isolated. If anything was to happen or you have a question, you are alone. We spoke to the Manager about arranging a cab to the airport at 5:30am. She assured us she would arrange with 'their most reliable driver' we would be picked up outside the hotel. Spoke 2X to her about it. At 5:45am we were still standing outside in the dark waiting for our cab. She did not respond to our WhatsApp message. By 6:00am we were asking anyone who walked by the hotel to help us and call us a cab. We were the last people to check-in for our flight. Bed was comfortable. Dogs in adjacent property bark all day and night. Room was clean. Hotel is 'under construction'.

PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE
I try not to write a negative review on a hotels. Even if the service was bad, I think maybe they had a bad day, or not enough staff. But with this hotel I will give them the worst review I can imagine. Online it looks good, and it said it was a home feeling. But it was the worst mistake for my family of five. 1- they never gave us breakfast, even though online said free breakfast 2- we had to pay $20 US, for the shuttle for my family for a 10 minute ride. I go to the owner and said to her there’s supposed to be a free shuttle. We have no shuttle we depend on other services to get you there. She said I’m sorry 😢 I was mad because her sorry is not fixed me paying for something that every hotel gives for free. 3- no towels in the hotel, just one hand towel. 4- No shampoo 5- No microwave 6- No mini fridge We had a one (1) air conditioner for a two bedroom and a kitchenette We also asked for a cot for my son and we were told that would be an additional $20USD EVERYTHING WAS TERRIBLE

The AC works well, you will get cold if you put it too low. The sheets seemed to have some lint and tiny hairs on them so i dont know if there hasn't been anyone to stay in that room a while or what but it was something i noted. The wifi did not work so well. We didn’t get service in our room unless we stood right next to our door, where there was a router on the top of the other side. Even in the lobby we did not have wifi. The area is kind of out there, not much near by. There weren't many people staying in the hotel, we may have been the only ones. But there is a cafe in the hotel open until 4, and there is a buffet, a 10 minute walk away. The people who owned the hotel were very sweet and lovely and spoke some English. The food for breakfast was delicious and the watermelon smoothie was super tasty. Overall, good stay the people were very helpful in getting us our taxi to the airport and the food was amazing.

Nice and close to airport which was nice as our flight came in at 10 pm. Hotel caters to the residents. Breakfast is great and comes with beverage, even if its made while you wait. Oh and the pineapple smoothies... are fabulous. A must have, or two or three.

Booked this because of nearness to the airport. Our room was very spacious and clean! Towels were a bit thin, like microfibre. The address was difficult to find as spelling was different than what our taxi driver had. The name of the café is what we should have used. Café and coffee downstairs in the morning was wonderful! Café staff very friendly! Would pick a hotel with shuttle next time, but the price was great here!

The check-in didn’t go as smooth as expected as communication from the United States did not go through for the property owner to be there when we arrived and for us to have food from their café, waiting for us as offered. But she came soon after, and all went well ultimately.
