“Very disappointing”
The property cancelled my reservation because we were arriving after 10pm. We then realized they had booked our room to someone else.

Probably one of the best places we've ever stayed in in terms of customer service. Our host was extremely helpful. Very near the port and an authentic Tico town!

Good location for ferry and departure point for excursions. Rooms were simple but well appointed and very clean - aircon was great. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Worst accommodation experience in Costa Rica! No water in the shower, although after a thunderstorm the parking turns out into a pool no way to leave your car without wet feet (ankle deep), no cleaning when you stay longer than one night. The chairs around "the pool" are always occupied by the staff. Noisy, the truck starts up the engine at 6AM and is still in front of our cabin (6.50AM). What a shit hole. O, and the other gasts can look in your room because only thick curtains that you don't close during the day! And they ask for a good word on Booking.com!!

“Comfortable for a one night stay!”
We knew that is was a cheap accommodation/motel and we booked it just for the night, as we took the ferry next morning. We were really surprised about how clean everything was and what we got for that little money. Room size, bathroom (water pressure, size) was great compared to other accommodation we had in costa rica (more expensive, not that clean, etc..)

“Comfortable, friendly place to stay near the ferry and Isla Tortuga trips.”
The fresh coffee made for me for free while I was working in the mornings was much appreciated! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, even with the language barrier. I would stay here again over anywhere else in the area.

It is a budget roadside motel 5 minutes from ferry, so a good badic pick if it's dark already and you don't want to drive at night.

The place was very good for money value and the stuff was super friendly and nice. He helped us to get a bioluminescence tour and informed us about different things. I really recommend the place! They also have a very nice dog around which makes the place even more friendly.
