Cabin in Quepos

"From the picture, the property is actually smaller, there is no bbq grill so cooking becomes a problem if you want to cook meet. The running water was turned on hours after we arrived, and no Hot water at all. Makes taking a shower on rainy days a drag. Not enough pillows or the proper kitchen utensils. And trash was not picked enough, because I was told to put it under the house when full, so wild stray dogs would tear into the bags and drag trash all over yard. They need to get lidded trash...

Hyatt Place San José/Pinares

10/10 Excellent

"Great clean and comfy "

Santa Juana Lodge and Nature Reserve

10/10 Excellent

"Road to.. It was a great ride on the dirt road to Santajuana alongside palm tree trimmers, cattle, motorbikes, and the required 4-wheel momentum to make it up into the hill. Clean woodsy classy designed room with comfortable bed in the screen sided cabin, plus 270 degree view on the deck, while we appreciated the rain soundtrack and viewed fog, haze & gorgeous sunsets meant a new level of peace, bookended with hikes to and dips in waterfalls. While power went out briefly, backup generator provided power & WIFI in main lodge/dining area. There are guided tours for booking, or the kind generous host provides a local tour which folks loved cuz he shares his local knowledge and wisdom of the rainforest they know as home. We took a couple hikes they recommended and thoroughly enjoyed. The food was cooked by the staff, many of whom are of the same family as the hosts. Solid attention was paid to making sure the food served was to our liking. Enough variety to keep it interesting and to serve different pallets while clearly much of it being sourced a few steps away. On the return of one hike we passed by the vegetable and fruit garden being tended to by la madre, showing us the various herbs she cultivates. The highlight was the local family who worked and managed the lodge. They were inspirational, kind,warm and caring. The initial welcoming and subsequent engaging conversations were fun & interesting. Inquire about the history of this nature preserve… Fascinating!"

Hotel Arrecifes

2/10 Terrible

"The whole hotel doesn’t look like the photos. There are cockroaches and dirty. There is a whole night club downstairs and you will not be able to sleep with how loud it is in this hotels. Loud people loud cars everywhere. The bathroom smelled of sewage. Your in a prison where you have to ask them to open the door to leave and come back in. Horrible experience don’t waste your money.
