The room was not what we expected for the price not what was shown in their marketing on the Internet
First, the staff were very nice. That's why you got 1 star.
The room was not good at all. One bedroom had no working light. There were no bath towels for the bedroom. The cord to operate the blind in BR#2 was broken so the blind wouldn't open. There were no filters for the coffee maker nor were there any paper towels even for the kitchen. The pool was filthy. Instead of providing us a room, we were told we could get a better room if we paid for an upgrade. I didn't want an "upgrade" I only wanted a room that was in good working order. I would never stay here again, nor would I give it a recommendation. For the price, it should have been much better. Shame on them.

The room was nice. Didn't like the fact that they have a cafe machine but they didnt supply any coffee, sugar. The bar by the pool horrible! I waited over 15 mins for 2 beers and i was the only one at bar. Then i went back asked for 2 screw drivers the had no orange juice so i couldnt get any drinks becuz there was no orange jui e.i paid almost 20 for a drink and shot and they took it upon themselves to charge me a 10% service charge when they didnt wventake the drink to me.the fridge in our room wasnt cold enough so we had to put all our sodas , water etc...in freezer which didnt even freeze.
We could find this hotel and it was gated which felt safe. Everything else was so so but all the neighboring options felt totally not safe so this was good for that.
Overall it was a good experience. Breakfast was traditional. Gym has the basics you need for a work out. Beach is right in front at a walkable distance, everything else you need transportation.
The views from the higher rise building are exceptional especially river view from the 5th floor. We loved breakfast and pool time here - stayed two nights and didn’t leave the resort!
Some party noises on the Sat night and into the wee hours but expected given we are on holiday!
Poor management as they have a gym below the room we stayed in that had blaring pounding music. It stopped at 9:00 pm but we were traveling and needed rest. It was a poor decision by who ever allowed that business to be in a hotel.

One of the best hotels in Puntarenas, with its own boat marina, and luxurious apartments in its new tower
