We stayed here for 3 nights and did not enjoy the hotel at all. While the bungalows are pretty cool and have an excellent layout, they were not very clean and were run down. Mal Pais can get very dry and dusty in the warm season which we can live with providing we have a nice place to sleep at... more

We found the Place to be most relaxing and friendly for our 2 night visit. The staff were friendly and cordial the room was very nice and cleaned nicely, the pool divine and breakfasts were excellent. The grounds are very nice and airy with many birds. The AC did not seem to work but the ceiling fans were powerful and... more

We stayed at The Place for 3 nights while in Mal Pais - we were on a budget and couldn't afford one of the cabanas (we did see them and they were really nice) and had to settle on one of the smaller rooms in the main building. Since business was a little slow they gave us a great rate... more

We stayed at the hotel last month and it´s definitly¨ the place¨ to stay. They have a very friendly staff that helped us during all our trip. The rooms are really nice decorated, we stayed in a bungalow, an open room a lot like costa rican style. We talked to the owner she told us that they are going to... more

I can see that why some people are greatly charmed by the place. I saw this place from their website and it looked so exhaustic and beautiful, I stopped by Mal Pais on my way to Tamarindo just to stay at The place for couple days. As I arrived, I liked the look of the place and paid 3 nights... more

Not sure what to say other than when we go back to Mal Pais we are staying with Andrea and Rodrigo. Andrea was a sweetheart, and if you wanted something chances are she knows just where to get it. Rodrigo, not much to say about this Argentinian teddy bear other than this boy can cook. As of May 8th they... more

My husband and I had the pleasure to stay at The Place FEB 07 (for a full week). WE LOVED IT! It's one of the nicest hotels in the area (we also stayed at Blue Jay lodge & Surf Camp). After I made our reservations I read the review "Please overlook the other reviews and read this one" which described... more

We stayed for 3 nights during December of 2006. We really enjoyed our stay as the bungalows were cute, the staff was helpful, and the location was good. Often times, it felt like we were the only group staying there which was nice and then at times you almost wanted some nightlife at the bar, etc. Considering other people's comments,... more

I was so excited to stay at the place... a feeling that changed from the moment that we walked onto the hotel grounds. I should have known, from when we booked online and they refused to give us an offical conformation of our booking. Although decorated very well with an almost "africon" feeling, i was immediatly overwhelmed by the stench... more
