Sardinal Hotel Guide - Playa Penca hotels in Sardinal, Costa Rica.

"The pictures posted for this resort are 16 yrs old. There is no wifi in any rooms, all the decor is outdated and smells of mold. The views from the balcony are of other rooms roofs. The buffet is always the same, dry, undercooked and no variety. They close everything down at the pool area at 10 pm- lights and all. No drinks or ice unless you hike up an inclined hill in 108 degree weather. The hotdogs for the kids were so old and dry that they looked like sun dried veiny wiener raisin. The shuttle from the airport never came to pick me up- had to pay a random taxi cash plus tip- because he asked for it- to make it there- plus the hotel had to provide the ride back to the airport back- so paying for the round trip, why did I? The false advertising of the food, views, rooms, all of it- very deceiving. Making my first time out of the country the worst experience. Told to download the whatsapp to communicate- yet you can’t use it without wifi- which was nonexistent. No phones in any rooms. No room service as advertised because how would I call for it? Rice in the morning, rice in the evening, rice at supper time. What a joke and a disappointing vacation"

"I don't often leave reviews, but we really enjoyed our time here. This was our last of 4 stops on our 9 day vacation across Guanacaste. The room was quiet and the bed was very comfortable. The beach is a 5 minute walk down the street and a convenient store is a 5 minute drive. Last but not least the staff at Sueño were incredibly pleasant and made the last leg of our trip a bit more enjoyable. Ronnys singing was top notch and Veronica helped us out a ton with information about the area. Many of the other patrons in the restaurant seemed to know the staff well and clearly had come back many times. If we to travel back to Guanacaste, we will be stopping in again too!"

"The hotel is situated on a beautiful beach and an overall nice looking property. We got a room that had several issues and didn’t match the pictures, so if you get assigned room 707, considering asking for a different room. The hotel did provide some comps for the condition but overall our experience didn’t match the price tag of the hotel. "

"You simply cannot beat the views from this beautiful home. It had everything we needed/wanted in an outstanding vacation stay!"

"Staff was easy to communicate with, they’ll send you a message on Expedia, then contacted me on what’s app (most of Costa Rica uses this). They sent me a pin to check-in location. Parking is provided in secure lot, right out side of condo. They give you a key that opens the automatic gate. Multiple pools on site. There is a small grocery store a couple blocks away that has all the essentials. Multiple restaurants/bars within walking distance. The beach is down the street and very nice. There’s a couple beach clubs with pools, that’ll will let you use the facilities if you buy some drinks or food. "

"Awesome! Place to stay with everything you need. Super close access to the beach"

"Absolutely the most amazing views, whether it was morning coffee on the rocking chairs or an evening drink watching the sunset up by the pool! Our host Alex was incredibly responsive and super helpful. I would recommend renting a vehicle and getting out to see different parts of Costa Rica. We had an incredible vacation and can’t wait to return! "

"Great location! But apart from the location, the experience of the hotel doesn’t match the premium price it charges. We don’t recommend it and won’t go back."

"Great location. Very close to the beach, restaurants and a small grocery store. The grounds and pool are very well maintained Why the low rating of 5/10? The condo had several problems. I had 4 phone conversations, 14 WhatsApp messages with the management company. 4 maintenance workers came to condo to do repairs over 3 days. Not all repairs were completed during my stay. -Sliding front glass door didn’t lock and screen door was broken -Downstairs bathroom window didn’t lock -Spider webs on all windows and screens -Upstairs bathroom door scraped the floor upon opening and closing -Master bedroom ceiling fan is old and constantly made a squeaky sound -Several towels were old and stained -and other minor problems "
