Hotel La Dolce Vita

Not bad at all! With a super helpful staff, humble bfast, top notch a/c, great clean beds, two separate small rooms, nice fan and a decent kitchen facilities, everything we wanted!

I loved the hotel and had a lovely stay. I found it as it was described on the web and discovered that it is on wonderful beach. Kind staff, simple but good breakfast, rooms complete of everything you may need (but not luxury.. of course, considering the price), location on the beach. If you love nature you will enjoy La Dolce Vita.

It was a happy stay. I loved this hotel, the staff was extremely kind and helpful and prepared a good breakfast. The hotel is on the beach, in front of the ocean, and every day I took a walk and enjoyed this paradise. My apartment was spacious for my needs and had everything I needed: kitchen to cook, tv, wifi, AIR conditioning (good), hoy water. The bathroom is small but with a huge shower. In the evening a good place to relax was the little, elegant pool.

The room and pool were clean and the breakfast was good. Good location on the beach.

Nice and comfortable. Had an issue where I overbooked due to a misunderstanding with my partner, Emilio was very understanding and gave me a credit for a future stay. I plan to return.

Based on reviews, ratings and pictures, we were ready for La Dolce Vita. Once you get off the main road, you're treated to about a 1 km ride that makes moon craters look smooth. The rooms are small clean, but in need of repairs and general maintenance. The pros are the wifi, TV and fridge, which froze everything we put in it. The cons are that you're next door to a dump for debris from the beach; the AC struggled to cool just the tiny bedroom; tiny and large ants and roaches were in the kitchen (we sprayed DEET around the bedroom door in hopes of keeping them out); the continental breakfast consisted of 'tropical fruit' - a banana, 2 pieces of very dry toast, a small glass of a Tang-like drink and a cup of coffee; the swimming pool was like an oversized jacuzzi; the beach was okay, but nothing special; and when we checked out, they tried to charge us for the room again after we had paid an exhorbitant price. Three young French backpackers arrived at the same time as we did, and left 15 minutes later. You have to leave the area to get anything, nothing nearby or onsite. This place might be okay for surfers, but I would not recommend it to anyone. Worst and most expensive place we stayed in Costa Rica.

This is located in a small little area. If you want to be away from the crowd, this is the place.

The location is great. A little out of the way but right on the beach. It's not a big resort so for a small hotel it was perfect. Rooms have a little kitchen and living area, that has a futon that can sleep 1-2. An easy drive to Quepos or Jaco. Lots of activities nearby.

We love this hotel, it is small, family friendly and the family in charge of is fabulous...

A/C not cold enough in room 7. Good value. Everyone was helpful. It would be nice if they would fix up the stove top and frig. Good utility for what they charged about $35/night for a 6 night stay. I would pay any more for this. It is a good 23km south of Jaco so you do need transportation.
