Great location and breakfasts. It was very hard to regulate temperature in our shower and the soap dispensers continually dripped. But on the plus side the ac worked very well.

This is a family-owned and run hotel that is next to their restaurant and tour business. We soon became family even though we did not speak each others' languages. It is next to the water and pier. We loved sitting out front and listening to the sea lions bark and watch the crabs scurrying about their business. The coveted blue-footed boobie visited each evening.

This was an excellent hotel in the heart of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. We were just steps from the waterfront and were able to enjoy breakfast in view of the harbor each morning. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the accommodations were more than comfortable for our purposes. We would absolutely stay here again!

The location was great, right in the middle of everything; the staff was friendly and the Wi-Fi was fast. The room was spacious and clean, but the electrical outlets were in inconvenient locations and the electric shower head was difficult to operate (it basically just served scalding-hot water)

Great view of the harbour. There was a comical, loud barking sea lion in the harbour that we could hear from the room. The hotel has a nice cafe that provides a good breakfast. Location is great for getting to the pier for the ferry or for water taxis to do boat tours.

The hotel is very well located, with friendly, efficient staff who are very attentive. The facility is clean, well maintained, and convenient. It’s located next to a small cafe with an excellent breakfast and snacks. The freshly prepared juices are a delight. The hotel experience was wonderful. We plan to return.

The only reason this hotel is recommendable is the location. Otherwise, the hospitality and customer service is horrible. We arrived and there were ants on the wall over the bed and on the sheets. We were given a can of ant spray and told to spray and leave the room. There was no hot water unless we asked them to turn on the water heater and only after going down stairs twice to ask. I asked them for 2 extra towels and they wanted to charge me $50 for them. I am not sure how other hotels are in the area but the only reason to put up with the poor service is being able to look out the window at the water and wake up to the sea lions barking. Book with caution.

Lovely hotel
This hotel is in a great location. The cab from the airport was $3. It is on the Malecon and is very walk friendly. The breakfast is outside in front of the hotel and is very quick to receive. If you are going on an early tour they will leave a small bag for you with a sandwich, apple, juice box and cookies. There is water in the lobby to refill your bottles and tea available in the evening.
Ask about walking to Mann beach and there is a museum there as well.
Plenty of sea lions all around.

Kitchen staff really rude
The girl behind the reception desk was super kind and friendly. The housekeeping were spot on with the room. The reason I would never stay at this hotel again was down to the kitchen staff. They were rude and kept laughing at me and sniggering one day I was refused breakfast when I was told I could sit down for a breakfast included in my stay an argument about it ensued with the kitchen staff and the lady who said I was ok to sit down. It made me feel really uncomfortable and I didn't bother. It ruined my stay having to walk past them sniggering at me for no reason.
