Money does not go far in Costa Rica. However this is the best value. Though this is not a western standard hotel, the real wood construction and real wood furniture give it a superior regal feel. The four pools of all different temperature suround by a tropical garden makes it a local resort. The water is chilled in some pools. At the highway a left turn across the bridge and first right street will bring you to the ocean (short pleasant walk). There is a raked beach, fancy restaurant, beach chair rental. Also across the bridge is the start of all the noisy restaurants, shops, bars and general activity of the town for 3km. The other direction (hwy right) is the quiet end town and bus station. The local CR breakfast was filling, however, you need to make reservation.

We stayed in the equipped 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment is in poor repair, the toilet did not flush and we had no hot water the first night. Cooking full meals would be very challenging here, as the only utensils provided were 2 large serving spoons. No spatula, tongs, etc. and only 1 pot and one pan. The pool by the apartments is decaying and half the furniture was so decrepit it was not useful. The main pools were nice, the common area was well maintained in the main building, and the staff were friendly and spoke English. It is only a short walk to the beach and restaurants. Breakfast at The Public House down the street was lovely albeit a little pricey by CR standards. In room massage was nice and hotel staff will help you book it.

The hotel is close to town, within walking distance from shopping and restaurants. It is in great location. The hotel is a three stars hotel but service is acceptable. Tgey have multiple pools and a good place for family. The tap water had a strong smell of sulfur so we just drink bottle water. When we arrived the hotel, there were only two bath towels, and one face towel. We had to call front desk for hand towels and an extra face towel.
