10/10 Exceptional

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour de 6 nuitées dans une villa 1 chambre avec notre fils de 7ans. Très propre, le lit confortable et la cuisine bien équipée. Le site de l’hôtel est bien aménagé avec une superbe piscine, basket, ping pong et des aires de détente. Il y règne une belle ambiance décontractée. Le personnel est accueillant et nous avons eu une excellente communication avant et pendant notre séjour. A quelques pas d’une magnifique plage épargnée par le tourisme de masse où nous avons admiré les plus beaux couchés de soleil. C’était une 2e fois pour nous à Playa Grande et nous avons déjà hâte d’y retourner.

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel but we didn’t enjoy our room. It was too small for a double bed room; no closet space, no hot water and it’s run-down. The shower sprayed out so violently that we had a river after every shower causing my kid to slip twice. Our friends stayed on the second floor and the room was much improved from ours. Overall the hotel itself is nice staff is friendly and flexible. Location is great if you are someone that enjoys staying away from the crowds. I would stay here again just not in the same room. Have traveled to most countries in Central America, third time in CR and this was our second least favorite hotel room.
