Lontano dalle rotte turistiche

Non facile individuare il sito sprovvisto di insegne ben chiare sulla strada. La location nonostante bella e immersa nel verde è troppo vicina alla strada nazionale. Colazione scarsa e personale disinteressato. Il sentiero dall'albergo per accedere a piedi alla spiaggia è poco curato e con alcuni divieti parziali. Viene permesso l'accesso alla piscina anche a persone non ospitate nell'hotel probabilmente famigliari dei dipendenti. Sicuramente da apprezzare le stanze spaziose e immerse nella vegetazione a contatto con animali e fiori. A piedi puoi raggiungere una panetteria e più lontano nel piccolo paese un supermercato. indispensabile un'auto per apprezzare le bellezze naturali vicine.

Our villa was located at the front of the property and there is 24/7 noisy heaven truck traffic on the road not twenty yards away. Also the signs on the main road are tiny and easy to miss. Jose, the manager, was wonderfully accomodating and made up for any other deficits with his helpfulness.

Great little hotel located on the main highway just outside Ojochal. Ambience was jungle perfect with a peekaboo view of the ocean. A good walk from the beach but no problem if you have a car. Truck noise at night was annoying at times. Restaurant and meals were excellent.

The propert consists of several different cottages spread throughout the property and offer a great deal of privacy. The staff was very friendly and helpful at the front desk and restaurant. However, the room was fairly dirty. There was a significant amount of mold in the shower and brown stains on the purportedly clean towells. While the floors looked like they had been swept, it also appeared as though it needed a good mopping. Needless to say i was very happy to only have stayed one night there.

The staff were always friendly and helpful. Jose at the front desk was a pleasure. The pool was fantastic with ocean views. The casita we were in was comfortable for the 4 of us, but the AC was super loud and only in one room. Running it kept my daughter from sleeping well, but we didn't really have a choice since the area is so hot and humid. The entrance door to the casita was beautiful, but really hard to lock. It felt a little insecure and left a huge gap when closed that allowed bugs in. The shower was great and hot, and the beds were comfy. All in all, and despite the little things in the room, our stay was enjoyable. I would recommend as an affordable and comfortable option close to Uvita.

Trip to Ojochal.

The place needs lots of repairs. We changed rooms twice. The staff was great. The owner needs to spend money. It's great for seeing monkeys and Toucans.

Disregarded my reservation and gave room away

This hotel had my reservation, but gave all their rooms away. When I arrived, they just said sorry we don't have any rooms left. Had to scramble to find a room in the area during very busy holiday season. Also, didn't even process a refund quickly.

La limpieza no es tan buena y a las villas les hace falta mantenimiento! Dentro de lo bueno es que se puede llevar mascotas. El desayuno podría incluir frutas o algo más refrescante por el calor

Trevlig personal men stället passade inte oss.

Vi fick ett för litet rum för oss fem personer och positionen som angavs på hotels karta stämmer inte. Det gick en stor väg utanför och man kunde i te gå ner till havet från hotellet.

The biggest issue was at night there would be cockroaches, lots of ants, and other insects in our room. Considering we were literally staying in the forest we couldn’t be too mad. We were a more adventurous group so we kept with our booking, but I know many people would have asked to change hotels. The location was farther out than we expected so we ended up renting a car. Car rental is a must for this location. The staff was wonderful and very kind. Breakfast each morning was a highlight. The pool was also a great amenity. Our WiFi barely worked in our room so we often just hung out in the community area in the evening.
