"Warning: Serious Security Concerns and Poor Response"

2.0

I had a similar experience to other reviewers.I would strongly caution anyone considering staying at this hotel. During my stay, my room was broken into and my suitcase was also forcibly opened. This was an extremely distressing experience and left me feeling unsafe and vulnerable. What made the situation even worse was the response from hotel staff. Despite reporting the incident, there appeared to be very little interest in investigating what had happened or addressing my concerns in a meaningful way. I expected the hotel to take a security breach of this nature seriously, but instead I felt dismissed and unsupported. There was no sense of urgency, accountability, or genuine concern for a guest whose belongings had been tampered with. Security should be a basic expectation when staying at any hotel. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this property and would advise prospective guests to think carefully about the risks. If you do choose to stay here, take extra precautions with your valuables and do not assume that the hotel’s security measures or response procedures will adequately protect you. This was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I have had, not only because of the break-in itself but because of the lack of care shown afterward.

Localização e o fato do box ser separado do vaso sanitário e da pia, permitindo uso ao mesmo tempo

O chuveiro ser de vidro sem parede ou seja as outras pessoas na acomodação veem vc tomando banho A cama parecia ser menor que o padrão casal parecia de viúva

"What a shame"

4.0

Our first night in Costa Rica, so glad it didn’t taint the whole holiday. We were given a room a long way from the lifts and down two corridors, right at the end of the corridor by the emergency exit. The staff on the whole were good, not so much the man on reception in the evening and the security team. First problem - once we checked in and were shown our room, we wanted to put our valuables in the room safe. We realised that we had not been given our passports back. We went back to reception to pick them up, they had been left under the reception desk, which was unmanned, no one had contacted us to say they had them!!!! Next we went out for dinner, the area is not very nice, as many other guests have said in their reviews. We got back to the hotel, spent sometime in the bar area and I went back to our room, to unpack, but someone had beaten me to it! Our case and been broken into, the lock broken and wire cut. I called my partner who came back to the room, he then went to report it to the guy on reception who couldn’t care less, said it might have happened at the airport! It hadn’t. We had no follow up from security. Felt very unsafe! Suddenly the room they had given us seemed like the perfect spot to target tourists, easy access to an emergency escape, along way from the lifts. I could say much more. We have had an incident report from the hotel, which says nothing, we have followed this up with the hotel, they have not even responded. We travel a lot, have stayed in many hotels and this is a first for us - be very careful here
