My friend and I checked in around 5:30 pm, and from the start, the experience was terrible. We entered a room with what looked like blood stains, hair on the floor, and dirty bed sheets that made us worry about bed bugs. It was nighttime, we felt unsafe, and it seemed like we were the only guests. When I politely addressed these concerns with the front desk, they “cleaned” the room, but the mess remained. No alternative or apology was offered—just a wait. After spotting what looked like potential bed bugs, I immediately contacted Expedia to cancel, but the hotel refused to release the payment until the next day. The front desk assured me I could choose to leave the following morning and receive a refund. Trusting them, we spent the night (since it was already dark) and eventually settled in a cleaner room. The next morning, we left at 7 am, and the front desk confirmed my card for the refund. However, days later, I called Expedia and they informed me the hotel refused the refund, and no one from the hotel had reached out, nor from Expedia. When I called the hotel directly, they were unhelpful and simply directed me to email their info account. In the end, I had to involve my credit card company to dispute the charge. Horrible experience, absolutely would not recommend this place. We ended up at The Mangroove hotel nearby for the same price and had a fantastic stay.

The room was very clean. The location was excellent. Our only gripe is that ground floor bedroom as soon as it got dark we had to close all the curtains because anybody walking by could look in. The living area had a big glass window next to the front door with no shade. Expensive restaurant. Could not ask for a better location

Let me start by saying that the service was wonderful. Hotel is exceptional. Would’ve loved to stay my entire time at Costa Rica at this cozy private beach hotel if I come back, definitely will be staying there again.

Stayed just one night before flying out of Liberia. Feels like a treehouse in the rainforest but directly beachfront on lovely Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste. Our beachfront room was clean, spacious and comfortable with refrigerator, coffee maker, indoor shower and private outdoor bath. Family of howler monkeys in the trees over the pool area were cool to see. Did not eat at the restaurant except for take out American style breakfast. Many restaurants a quick walk down the beach. Definitely would stay here again, especially for the beach and a quick ride to the airport.

Our room and view were beautiful. Property is nestled between residential homes. Beach is very nice, but not too clean. Lovely sunsets and food/drinks were fabulous. Every meal is served in an open air restaurant. Front desk was very helpful with everything. Hotel staff was always available to offer whatever you needed. Tip: Use Uber because hotel transportation is overpriced.

The property was beautiful. It's right on the beach with the rain forest all around you. Every morning, we enjoyed walks along the beach and picked up brunch or lunch from restaurants along the beach. Very peaceful and family friendly.

I like that the bedroom and bathroom is spacious, feels like you are close to nature, downside is the restaurant is too pricy and that it’s not convenient to go to other restaurants or eatery.

We enjoyed our stay and the staff are wonderful. The grounds are stunning and the proximity to the beach is wonderful. My only gripe is the food. It’s just not that great but it is quite costly and often took a long time to be prepared. We enjoyed ourselves regardless but while traveling with a family, the quality and cost of daily meals is an important factor to consider.
