    The sheets didn’t seem very clean and towels very old, No hot water, the handles didn’t work and you couldn’t figure out which was the hot or cold. TV didn’t work. The air conditioning froze up every night and was loud. Our refrigerator didn’t work but they did get us a new one but that one wasn’t very cold. The front desk person when we came to book the room was very nice but spoke no English at all, so couldn’t answer any questions. Place needs some money into it, for up keep.

    The location was nice, can be loud. The breakfast was delicious but needed to start earlier than 7:30, we couldn’t go to breakfast before leaving. Needs to start at least by 6-6:30 and extended to 10.

    The advert for this hotel was deceptive and I regret not looking at the reviews on Trip advisor which would have alerted me. The rooms where dark and dingy and did not appear to have been decorated for over 20 years. The shower barely trickled tepid water and the noise from motorcycles on the road outside was very loud and obtrusive at all hours. The safe combination mechanism didn't work so they had to provide the master key. There was a coffee machine in the entrance that did not work. There were 2 electrical sockets by the bed and one of those didn't work. One of the only 2 low wattage lights in the room was plugged into that socket so they had to provide an adaptor so that we could charge our devices. The breakfast was very poor quality with the same sad looking scrambled eggs and hot dogs every day and a plate of old and blemished market reject fruit. The corridor leading to the breakfast room was a disgrace, it doubled as a staff smoking area so there were a couple of old stools and table and cigarette buts on the floor. The WIFI router was secured to the banister rail with cable ties I would rate it as a 2 star hotel at best and at $180 per night it was not cheap (which added to the feeling of disappointment). Either some serious money should be spent to update this hotel or the price should reflect the quality. We stayed at a far nicer hotel in El Tamarindo for $100 per night so £ 80 to £90 would have been a fairer price for this place.

    The location was good for the beach and restaurants in town and we enjoyed the pool and the beach club that they permitted one to use when booking this hotel, they at least were up to expectations. Unfortunately they were a long way from the hotel and quite impractical to get to unless you had a car which luckily we did.

    What a nightmare to find! Even knowing where it was I drove past it 5 times and still didn't find it. I ended up parking close by and walking to where it was in order to find the very inconspicuous entrance - the hotel is actually behind the parade of shops with just a narrow entrance between them. We specifically booked a room with a fridge and the one in the room when we arrived didn't work and was replaced, presumably with one taken from another room. One of the bedside lamps didn't work either. That was remedied by the staff member wiggling and tapping the socket the plug was pushed into.....

    Good breakfast at the eating establishment adjacent to the hotel, at no additional cost. Really comfy bed.

    the portions were very limited during breakfast. We order the food as we arrive but it was still cold. At the room, the soap was the cheap one that if did not feel like soap. The parking lot was up hill unpaved and dusty.

    Well, I like the fact that the stay includes the breakfast. That was a good deal. It had AC. the room had two comfortable beds. there were no bugs. The hotel is in the downtown area that you could walk down to the restaurants.

    The bar across the street on weekend nights had loud music playing until 2-3 am. The lock on the door was flimsy. Looks like other rooms had upgraded keycard locks- not mine. Safe battery was dead- couldn’t use. The menu of damages next to the bed was classy.

    Clean hotel in the heart of Coco beach. Lots of restaurants and shops really close.

    Parking was down the street and you couldn't get into it without staff to unlock. Just parked on street instead. WiFi didn't work in our room. Shower was cold. No pool on site but we didn't care. Went to beach.

    We were rushed out even though we had an hour left before official check out. Also we were told to park up a hill but we thought we could bring our luggage through the parking lot but that was not the case. Should have stayed where we were parked on the street to bring in our luggage before parking in the lot.

    Middle of town and close to a lot of restaurants and bars

    Some of the staff members seem aggravated. Didn’t smile or greet you. Breakfast was very basic. Plan on eating out. Loud music until 6am again if you’re there to party you would enjoy the atmosphere

    If you like a heavy tourist area with loud music, variety of shopping and restaurants then this spot is in the heart of it all. The beach is a 5 min walk. However coco beach is ash like dark sand. So the water is muddy. But there’s live music on the beach at the restaurant. Vendors etc. room was clean. Breakfast was ok. Very basic.
