Very Good

The breakfast looking put over the beach was great, the pool looked great, staff was kind, room was clean and welcoming, and all the trees lining the way to the check in booth. Great spot
The hotel is an older hotel but extremely charming. It has a great pool and is right on the beach. The staff were excellent and friendly. We ate a great meal in the restaurant. Definitely would recommend this hotel.
Good rooms with A/C, breakfast very tasty. Kose the staff at the restaurant/reception was fantastic and gave us practical tips/ advice and good information as well as service. Ocean beach in the backyard of the restaurant
Nice place with great staff. Was glad to be a bit out of Limon with a great home base for sight seeing. Enjoyed the peacefulness and had a good stay. We also enjoyed easy fresh cooked dinners at the end of the day.
I felt safe staying here. The property could use some updating, the water pressure was very low at the sink and shower. The room was cozy, the bathroom had plenty of space.
The staff was great, very friendly and accommodating.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
This facility was very well built many years ago but is so so maintained. Everything is the bare minimum in terms of linens and bedding. The furniture in room and around the pool are cheap and flimsy. Staff is underwhelming. On the other hand, it has very nice beach frontage and a very large pool.
