This was an overnight stop on our drive from Puerto Jiminez to Santa Elena. We arrived late and left early. It was full of surf dudes 20 years (or perhaps 30 years) younger than us. The room had no aircon but was quirkily furnished. I felt like i was backpacking again, would have liked to stay longer than a night and defo wanted to be 20 years (or perhaps 30 years) younger. Self catering kitchen, cool vibe, yeah it was good fun. Prob not best for anybody with too many expectations but we found it worked for us. Near the beach (big waves tho - i would have been fish food), decent parking, close to the highway. What's not too like?

It was a really beautiful place, with a lovely lady at reception- she was always there to help. There was also a big kitchen for everyone which was really clean and many common areas. It's literally in front of the beach. Totally recommended

I had a very pleasant stay in this cool place close to the ocean. Helpful staf and a nice big inner area with a pool, hammocks and sofas. It was a short walk to the beach and the powerful Pacific waves.
