To be honest, after I had booked, I came on this page and read some bad reviews. So I even thought about cancelling, but I didn't. It turned out to be a good choice. I am a photographer from Holland, the main goal of my stay in Costa Rica, was to have a rest and take some cool pictures. Originally... more

Large bottle of water 4 U.S. Dollars. Hotel guest towels placed out on the clothesline to dry next to a well used busy dirty dusty road. Food was horrible. You ordered one thing and received something completely different. If you said something about it, They would look at you like...Don't like it, Don't eat it ! and then just walk... more

Stayed there for 3 nights. The laundry was a joke, despite promises that my stuff would be back that day, it actually took 2 days and arrived back in a wet ball, which I had to dry myself and cost 20 dollars. Also, security was non-existant. My friend had his laptop and ALL his luggage stolen, which apparantly had happened... more

We got there... a little shady at first but we stayed there a night and had a great time. The guys at the front Douglass and Juan were great and we partied with them that night! They showed us a great time. The room soso the experience was great. The other tennants were all young people as well. And you... more

After reading a few reviews and a recommendation from Rough Guide, I booked two days at El Milagro. When we got there, the room reeked, it was terribly small, had bugs in the bathroom and the beds were very, very uncomfortable. After staying one night, we opted to check into a hotel down the street. We informed the clerk what... more

Walking distance from the beach. Nice pool. Room: nice, small bungalow style, clean. Bad things: one time we came back while the cleaning woman was there, and a dog was walking around our room. The comida typica breakfast was gross reheated gallo pinto. When we first arrived, the nice pool and grounds were infested with a large group of high... more

Hotel El Milagro (The Miracle Hotel--- yeah its a miracle it is still open) I booked this hotel for our honeymoon. From the pictures on their website, the hotel looked great. Like I said, I made reservations long before hand, even had the voucher and arrived several hours after check in time.... Well, the hotel did not have our room... more

I never write hotel reviews but I just had to warn other fellow travelers. Hotel El Milagro is your typical mid-range hotel in Costa Rica reminiscent of an outdoor ed camp for adults. Cracks in the windows and doors, weathered walls, wiry mattresses, mildewed bathroom tiles, etc. All that for an "affordable" rate is just fine and dandy. However, the... more

At first we were a little surprised/shocked. No TV, wireless internet didn't work, and across a road from the beach. In fact, you then had to walk thru a little woods and some ground plants before being actually on on the beach. The room was smallish and no tub, just a walk in shower, and a really strange door lock... more
