Hotel Tropico Latino

The hotel is right on the beach, very friendly and helpful reception, easy parking close to the room (maybe because hotel was not full). All the staff were friendly and breakfast was decent although perhaps a bit limited (only one cup of coffee included !) . Good choice of reasonable restaurants within walking distance.

The room was huge but more like a motel than a beach hotel in terms of decor. It was a fair walk through the property to the beach/restaurant/pool and it was close to the road. There were some cabins along the path to the beach which looked more in line with the jungly/beach atmosphere. We visited 2nd half November and the rainy season had finished (as is normal) yet the hotel (and 2 others we stayed at in Costa Rica) seemed pretty empty, in spite of the perfect weather. I was told it was the shoulder season yet the prices here (and elsewhere in coastal Costa Rica) seemed very much high season.

Amazing hotel. Absolutely amazing people work there. Sunsets, restaurant, hammocks, yoga. Rooms types are different. Was good value for money for that period of time.

I can’t tell that I didn’t really like anything.

The best structure to welcome you in Costa Rica upon your arrival where spending 5 days in complete relaxation is automatic. Pacific Ocean welcomes you with its waves for guaranteed fun. Breakfast by the ocean ... wellness by the sea ... great. I suggest a Thai massage to recover the parts of the body that sometimes you forget to have

And that sound of the waves that accompanies you for a long time can be liked or not ... it kept me company a lot especially when you fall asleep

The location is excellent, right on the beach and very convenient for surfing. We could walk with our boards to the beach and be in the water within minutes, and it’s also close to restaurants and shops in Santa Teresa. The studio was spacious and the pool area is nice. The bed was comfortable enough for our stay but small.

The cleanliness was not up to the standard we expected for the price. The daily cleaning was very basic and the room often did not feel properly clean afterwards, apart from the bed being made and a quick clean of the floor. The bathroom was not cleaned properly and we were left without toilet paper. We decided to cook in the studio because the included breakfast is very minimal - there are only two options (a continental with eggs, fruit and toast, or the tico breakfast with rice and beans). However, the kitchen area was also not cleaned properly. The cleaners only come until around 1pm which it’s not common for hotels. The restaurant staff were friendly but the service was quite slow and not attentive.
