The hotel offers an unforgettable experience right on Cabuya beachfront, boasting breathtaking views and a cozy atmosphere. The rooms provide a great view for some, but the dorm beds may not suit everyone's preference. The service is exceptional, with a range of convenient options available. Although the location impresses being right on the shoreline of a particularly unspoilt part of Costa Rica, some may find it a bit isolated. The dining experience offers delicious local dishes, but improvements could elevate the overall quality. The facilities are suitable for a relaxing stay, with a few extra touches to enhance comfort.
