We booked a 5 night stay in Pueblo Dorado. The first night we were attacked by fire ants coming from the closet. We moved the bed away from the wall, and made it through the night with only one bite. In the morning, we told the concierge (no one was around during the night) that we wanted a new room,... More

My husband and I spent a week in this hotel and found it to be comfortable, clean and welcoming. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us. The pool is good for cooling off but not for swimming as it is not very deep. Breakfast is a bonus as were the howling monkeys that seranaded us each afternoon... More

There is a basic fare daily breakfast consisting of fresh fruit, juice, cereal, toast, jam, scrambled eggs and fantastic coffee. The pool is maintained daily and... More

Pros: - Great staff! Welcoming and showed genuine concern - Hot water (weird that it feels like a luxury after coming from Monteverde and Poas) - Very good value for money Cons: - Rickety beds - Ants in the room (the staff changed the room immediately) - Small breakfast. We ended up going to the excellent Parisian bakery opposite the... More

We stayed for four nights of what was to be an eight night stay. First the good - the staff were very nice, it was clean and located out of the busy part of town with a short walk to the beach, and the pool area was nice. Now the bad - the room was very small, the bed was... More

this hotel is totally average -- if you are looking for luxury this is not your place. It is clean enough -- small room with just the basic neccessties. Probably great for backpackers, etc. Short walk to beach, shops. Would stay somewhere nicer next time.

At the first night arriving to the hotel, we felt totally disappointed. Angry man at the front desk did not say a word when we arrived. When we found our room, it was small and bad-smelling. Location was good, near the beach (but be aware, the map doesn't show the right place. The right place is near the river between... More

This hotel was very easy to find coming into town, and the location was good as it was away from the bustle of Tamarindo, but still a short walk away from everything. The room was decent enough, except for all the ants in the bathroom. We asked to have someone take a look at it and they sprayed something that... More
