We came here because of the advertising for surfing beach. However when we arrived there was a permanent sign on the gate going to the beach with no swimming. Turns out this is for expert surfers. Not for family's. Morning staff not friendly. Had to bring a broken coffee maker to front desk because my machine was broke and she gave me another broken one. Then blamed it on me and walked me back to room to only discover it was broken. No apology. This place would be excellent for professional surfers.

First we are in mid to late 60’s age range. No breakfast was advertised and there was a great place for eating within walking distance(short). But it is very hot at Beaches now, so even for us a short walk and we were covered in sweat. Also they do have some snacks in refrigerator in room, but charge a little high for chips and candy bars.Our superior room was great with sounds and views of ocean. TV’s only with about 2 English Channels..odd in tourist location. Had Britt Keurig cup type machine in room which was great except we were told that each room got 3 kcups daily.. then you had to pay for more. Dorm sized refrigerator in room.. no microwave. When asked front desk for a washcloth were given like an American hand towel.We would stay there again only for views and it was pet friendly. Nothing else

We felt like we were in our own mini resort. The hotel only has 8 rooms (2 suites and 6 jr suites), and all with balconies & ocean views. The pool was relaxing and the ocean just steps away. Away from the chaos of Jaco. We absolutely loved our stay here.
