“Nice Hotel, Unfriendly Staff”
+Nice pool and beautiful surrounding gardens, quiet at night perfect for good sleep, given that there are no many options around this was my first option even is a little pricey
−Terrible staff and owners. As soon as we started speaking Spanish, their attitude completely changed, and we felt unwelcome from the very first day. It’s really disappointing to experience this kind of treatment,especially in your own country.

+The casita was lovely and comfortable and right beside the pool. The pool was fantastic and there were lots of loungers and tables around it which was convenient. It was a quick walk across the road to a stunning beach. There was plenty of wildlife on the property which is always fun. We would definitely stay here again!

“Excellent commitment to quality with a four decade surfing heritage, beautiful jungle & long lefts!”
+Breakfast options were great. The shallow entry pool design and the pool area in general was very relaxing. Parking area was very secure and the shade helped a lot. Outdoor shower is handy to manage salt and sand. Cold water and coffee in the dining area was appreciated. Just 100 feet from the beach where an elevated platform made it more fun to do surf checks.
−A microwave would have been helpful to reheat food.

“Local tranquilo, bom atendimento, hotel com muito espaço, boa opção em Pavones.”
+Ficamos em um quarto muito espaçoso, com uma cama king e duas de solteiro, mais poltronas, TV e um terraço, com vista para o mar. Boa localização, de frente para uma praia, lugar tranquilo, amplo, com estacionamento. Equipe nos atendeu muito bem, piscina simpática, boa opção em Pavones.
−A internet praticamente não existe: lenta e oscilante, quase impossível de se usar (mas este não é um problema só deste hotel mas sim de toda Pavones). O café da manhã é muito, mas muito fraco mesmo, uma garrafa térmica com café, pão de forma de supermercado, uma gota de manteiga outra de geléia. As frutas estavam boas.
