The 2nd room we tried the sheets were wore right thru....mostly held together by threads and garbage on the floor.tried to get our money back and had a tough... More

We only stayed 2 nights thankfully. They didn't have our reservations the staff was very unfriendly rooms very dirty, broken tiles in the bathroom, the hotel as a whole was not maintained. No restaurant the use to be bar was rusted and falling apart. If the staff had been friendly it wouldn't have been easier to take. Yes it was... More

Stayed for 7 days in late November during low season when it was nearly empty. Pros: Price = $50/ day w/ bkfst; Location close to the beach. Large clean pool. Cons: Service & amenities - It's no Ritz Carlton, but you can't beat it for the money. Rooms are basic, grounds are nice. Would definitely recommend it for anyone looking... More

I went to Costa Rica with a group from my church. There were about 26 of us split between about 9 rooms. The rooms varied from completely fine (my room) to somewhat run down. There were ants in some of the rooms, but they didn't seem to bother anyone. When we first arrived, one room had a broken AC unit.... More

I stayed here for 7 days I found it very relaxing and quiet compared to the bustle of Tamarindo. The room was basic yet cosy and clean and with all the amenities like AC and Wifi. The surroundings are tranquil and relaxing and if you are luck you get to hear the owner sing some opera at breakfast !! More

We arrived there because the taxi from Tamarindo Airport drove us there. From the outside the place looks nice and more expensive than what really is. When we enter the reception is very basic and ugly. The price for a room for 2 was USD 40 with breakfast included. For 2 rooms (1 person per room) we got a price... More

For my first time down in Playa Giuones, which was not only a beautiful place all on it own, Hotel Tropicana was the icing on the cake. Being a tiny bit further from the beach than all of the other 'surfer' hotels, it was nice to escape and relax between sessions. We had room #4, which was the furthest from... More

The hotel is very basic, good enough if you just want a bed and you are gonna spend your day doing activities. The hotel is very bland, the breakfast(included) is terrible, we tried it once and never went back. The hotel has no security at night!!! So do not try to dry your clothes outside as they will get nicked... More
