Booking

Its a bit loud, and the fan wasn’t very strong

The owner helped us with our tickets to Nicaragua. Free coffee in the morning. Nice garden. Comfortable bed. The owner's cousin Tito is the best. He is really a nice person.

I found the place very expensive considered what it offers. The rooms were transparent of noise because of the windows on the top of the rooms. I mean it was really transparent. The owner asked %9 credit card commission, if we pay with credit card. He can ask for 9% more, but he must specify it on Booking (I might book with the other hotel). Location is not in the centre of Puerto Viejo (1.4 km away). He said don't smoke on the garden when the other guest is there (no problem), but they did barbecue in the garden and all the smoke and smell was in the room (I don't mind), but I find it a bit double standard. If they really care the guests, they shouldn't do barbecue in the garden, too (this Is my personal opinion). I made a last minute booking, but I believe you can stay better place with this price.
