Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The location was great, barely 2 minutes walk from the beach. The pool area was very nice, and I enjoyed hanging out in the courtyard, where there were tables and hammocks. I also enjoyed seeing all the signs previous guests had painted, and I added one of my own! The women’s only room I stayed in was clean and comfortable, especially for a hostel, with a good bathroom, regular cleaning by staff, and good air conditioning.
Negative: There was some loud music and bar noise on Friday and Saturday nights from the bar next to us, plus some very talkative chickens in the early hours of the morning, so I’d recommend bringing earplugs to sleep, but I was still fine, the music wasn’t excessive or all night. The only other thing I noticed was the few outlets, which wasn’t an issue with just a couple people in the room, but would have been a pain with all six beds filled.
Summary: Great location, friendly staff and an all round enjoyable stay, would love to come back!

Positive: This place is in a wonderful location and affordable. The pool is nice and the Breakfast tipico is really good. The rooms are small and ours specifically didn't get internet, so we had to go out of the room for that. Not a big deal but worth mentioning. I feel safe there. It has a shared kitchen, which always seemed clean, and they sell beer, water and tea. The staff is super friendly and always available to help. And although the restaurant is separate, they all work together to make sure everyone is taken care of. It isn't a 5 star hotel but it is a great place for family, work-cation. 2 min walk from the beach.
Negative: I do wish the beds were a bit more comfortable and the fan was more in a location where we could feel it when we laid on the bed. I also wish that the internet worked in the room. There was no TV, which is fine for me, but others may want to be sure to ask for what they want in the room before booking. All the rooms are different: some have AC and TV others are just beds and a bath.
Summary: Friendly, close to the beach, affordable, and FREE BREAKFAST.

Positive: We have stayed here every year sometimes twice a year for at least 6 or 7 years, we love it, the rooms are fairly basic but it has all you need. Great Vibe and super location.
Negative: On our last night a busload of very noisy inconsiderate people from San Jose arrived at 4.30 am. Its hard for the Hotel to control that but there is a noise ordinance posted.
