Hotel La Dolce Vita

Owners need to put up a sign at the highway so people know where to turn. Other than that, it was a nice beachfront location, and a good hotel for the money.

i would not return back to this hotel if it was free! don't get me wrong, the beach was foot steps away and the staff was nice! however, this hotel is in need of serious repairs! world's smallest swimming pool i have ever seen in my life for a hotel! broken down bar/tiki hut with a huge hole at the top! huge steel gate (shown on the picture) that locks you in at night! i thought i was in jail! no place to park if you have a car! i had to walk out the back of the hotel in a dark muddy road in the alley to visit a local bar and mini-mart! the hotel in next to a state beach where people come to enjoy the beach. several a abandoned business near the hotel and not to mention, animals all over the place! dogs and cats and everything else who can imagine! so bad my traveling partner took a lost and left and found another hotel in jaco beach!

Cute hotel on the beach. Only complaints are only one unit has an actual ocean view And one burner was non-functional.

For the money you aren't going to do much better than this hotel. The owners keep the hotel clean and the pool is a nice touch. The hotel is located perfect to step out and hit the break offshore. The rooms are a bit warm with the A/C struggling to work. Hermosa is a nicer location but this beach has the better waves and La Dolce Vita is plenty fine.

I rated this hotel 5 all the way because I knew what I wanted, and got it nicely here at a very comfortable price. This is not a fancy star anything. It's a quiet, small comfortable hotel on the beach with air conditioning and wifi and a clean small pool. A small adequate kitchen gave me easy home cooked meals. There are several stores nearby for all the basics. And with the continental breakfast included, and so many eating places less than 5 mins walk away, food was easy. Esterillos Oeste is not touristy...that's why I picked it this time instead of Jaco. I wanted a quiet weekend for my birthday vacation. The beach itself seemed cleaner than Jaco, nice dark sand from the volcanoes long ago, and lots of sea shells for my art projects. I will go there again. PS..karaoke, dancing near by for those that want..and a short drive to much more if wanted.

The hotel is very simple. For a short stay up to 3 nights it is toatlly sufficent. Value for money is fine.

I had a 2-nights experience in Esterillos Oeste and La Dolce Vita hotel with my husband. It was what we were looking for: A quiet place to stay without noise of mass tourism, a beach front hotel to avoid movement with so hot temperature, but complete with necessary services that feel our stay more confortable. Our room was clean with no one insects (strange compared with other structures where we stayed!), the hotel was well maintained by a very kind and helpful staff ( a local couple always smiling and ready to suggest us place for rest and nice restaurants). The location is unbeatable, five miles of amazing beach, pure jungle around town and hotel, very very good restaurants serving freshly caught fish, with cheap price! great value for this price..for sure we'll come here next time!! Special Thx to Emilio!!

Not sure where to start. Ants crawling, no actually swarming, all over the space. Sleeper sofa was an empty loveseat frame with throw pillows stacked in it. Zero hot water in the kitchen and greasy silverware in the drawer. Sliding glass doors for the entrance with no tracks or threshold below so rain was seeping in. Location is beachfront but next door to a trashy campsite with farm animals crowing at all hours. Sketchy locals lining the dirt road entering the site, leering at my daughter. Even though I paid for two nights, I left the next day and paid for a room at the Best Western in Jaco Beach, which was paradise compared to La Dolce Vita...! Oh yeah, in less than 20 minutes the "friendly" locals of Osterillos Oeste Playa stole my sandles from under my towel on the beach while I swam.

Great location on a quiet, scenic beach and in a small community which has a good grocery store, surf shop, bar and restaurant within 5 minutes walking distance. The hotel is very tidy and cute. The staff were helpful and pleasant. They always appeared busy cleaning. The kitchenettes were well set up however, the air conditioning and ceiling fan did not keep the room very cool. Aside from the warm rooms, we loved the place; scenic, private and tranquil with nice landscaping, good pool and a great rate.

not great at least not for families. It is more like a hostel for me. Not suited for families. near local bars. it is near beach but you can fnd other hotels like that. The bathroom had a leak from the roof and I did see a roach.I told the care taker and he did not seem to care nor did he apologize. It was hard to find. It is an old building and not well kept. We had planned on staying 2 nights and I insisted on not staying to nights.
