Worst Non-Stay Ever
Showed up with visiting family from the states. I live here in Costa Rica and have never been disappointed on a such level with a hotel and Expedia's response. Turns out the hotel had recently experienced a major power failure. As such, the hotel had to reduce its overall consumption and had to turn power off to all air conditioning machines and the pools filters and pumps. We arrived to a green slime pool and bungalows that had few opening windows and no screens. For our party of seven, they offered us one fan. Otherwise, the place wasn't that bad. No pool alone and I would have cancelled the reservation but there was no way I was going to sleep lined up sweating with all seven of us and taking cold showers in an attempt to cool off ever few hours. So I called Expedia and they said that they would help me find another place to stay and they did for almost three times the cost of this place. Ridiculous but I had to have a place to sleep that night for all of us. Expedia assured me that I would be refunded in full. So I made the second reservation. Many weeks later, I contact Expedia and they tell me that they had not refunded me the cost of the first reservation. And that they had no record of what had happened. They have been trying to contact the hotel for two weeks now and keep telling me that they just need to... not really ask the hotel for permission to refund the reservation. And now they've stopped replying to my requests for updates. I think it's Expedia's fault.

Convenient, clean and the owners really care
This is recently revamped. The towels are new but the poolside loungers are just wooden slats. As others have said, it's a great place for price because you can go kiteboarding with Costa Kite, Kite Boarding CR and Blue Dream on all playa copal. But this isn't a stay by the pool and drink away the day kind of Dreams resort. The pool is clean and the food here is good for what it is since it's hard for bahia salinas to get really fresh produce. What made us love it was that it was relatively mosquito free and the rooms are spacious with kitchens, living area and bathrooms with tubs (which are getting replaced and upgraded). Basically it's the best in the area closest to kite surfing.

Decepcionante visita
El hotel está muy por debajo de lo que dice ser, jamás es 4 estrellas, no se acerca ni a dos. El desayuno no tenía buen sabor y siempre sirven lo mismo. No hay otras opciones. Lugar muy frío y no se puede usar el mar.

Hotel en abandono / Not a 4 star hotel at all
Este hotel parece que está en abandono! No pudimos ingresar a la piscina porque estaba verde, la ducha de la habitación no servía y estaba sucia. Pediré una devolución de algún porcentaje del dinero porque este no es un hotel 4 estrellas. Mala atención e instalaciones en malas condiciones. This hotel seems to be abandoned! We couldn't get into pool because the water was "green", the shower did not work and tub was dirty. I will ask for some money back because this is not a 4 star hotel. Poor customer service and facilities are in bad condition.

Not what we were looking for.
Our room was clean and it was overall comfortable, but there was no hot water. We did not have a car and the location is very isolated. The hotel is on a beach, but it is not very nice. Nice beaches are a $10 taxi ride away- and all taxis all from La Cruz, more than 30 minutes away. The whole place looks like it's best days were 20 years ago- nothing horrible, but a bit dated and shabby. The restaurant's food is very uninspiring and there are no other nearby restaurants. We checked out after one day.

vicino a playa de jobo e playa rajada
abbiamo trascorso due giorni splendidi in questo hotel immerso nel vento. l'hotel è situato a due passi da una spiaggia selvaggia che offre un panorama splendido e incontaminato. Le camere sono ampie e luminose, dotate di aria condizionata e ventilatore. La struttura centrale dell'hotel è un po' in decadimento ma si vede che è stato nel passato un hotel di lusso. avrebbe bisogno di un buon restauro per togliersi quella patina di "decadenza". Il ristorante non offre pasti eccellenti ma, appena fuori dall'hotel, c'è un ristorantino che offre ottime cene a prezzi modici.Nella zona ci sono le due spiagge più belle e incontaminate del costa Rica (playa Jobo, Playa Rajada). Vale decisamente la pena!

Machen Sie nicht den gleichen Fehler
Das Hotel machte optisch einen heruntergekommenen Eindruck. Der Pool und die Whirlpools waren verdreckt und nicht benutzbar,Liegen defekt und ohne Auflagen. Am 2. Tag trieben sich Kühe am Pool (mit Hinterlassenschaften!) und auf dem Parkplatz rum. Es gab keinen Zimmerservice und das mit benutztem Toilettenpapier im offenen Eimer!!! Das Personal war sehr träge. Nachdem wir 20 Min auf die Rechnung gewartet hatten, gingen wir. Man sollte spanisch sprechen, um sich hier verständlich zu machen. Fairerweise müssen wir aber sagen, dass das Abendessen uns schmeckte. Selbst die Anfahrt war eine Strapaze. 20Km Schotterpiste um festzustellen, das dieses 4Sterne Hotel das letzte ist, wo wir jemals übernachtet hatten.
