Consider that the good reviews for this place are based on its affordability. The property is very dated and had more of a surfer community feel, while we were more looking for a nice beach front property with pool to relax in. The breakfast was not good but all staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Hotel was sorely outdated. Floors were soiled and we had a few dead bugs on the floor. Prices in the bar were very expensive, $11.00 for a weak gin and tonic. Mattresses were so hard we left a day early.

Booking tip: seems like rooms 9 through 12 were on the backside, no ocean view but private and away from the swimming pool so we didn’t have any noise problems at all. Restaurant: wasn’t the best tasting food but the portions were large, priced fairly and since the restaurant is right on the beach front it’s a great place to watch the waves and sunset. Saw several families staying which implied a tranquil vibe. I noticed some rooms (I think room numbers thirty something ) were overlooking a parking lot so I would inquire properly where the room is situated. All in all I would go back for another stay. Everything seemed very clean.

The property overall was a nice place to stay. I liked how it’s right on the beach. You can order food and drinks at the open air bar overlooking the beach. The pool is nice, but usually pretty warm due to the sun and heat. I did notice about 30 ants on the wall coming in at the AC unit. Also there’s a high window in the shower with only a screen, so it gets hot in the bathroom, even with the bathroom door open. I also think they could do a better job keeping up with the landscaping. Overall I would stay here again.

Overall okay stay.
Pros: easy check in, friendly service, good drinks at the bar, right on the beach, with loungers available. Clean rooms. Secure parking with easy in and out. Close to Jaco walk with restaurants and shopping available. Cons: the AC didn't work in the room so the first night was miserable. The room was dated, with broken outlet covers, no bulb in the lamp, and generally tired looking. This was room 118 on the first floor. The staff moved us to another room the next morning, room 223. This was in much better condition and had a balcony with a view of the ocean. Breakfast was included but not great. We didn't have any meals on site. Overall a decent stay. I don't know if we will return to this property. It did the job for one and a half days.
