"Está bien para una sola visita…"

8.0

Los cócteles, el chef agradable y la habitación con buena ropa de cama y equipada para estancias largas. La chica de la recepción muy atenta y agradable.

Las áreas comunes no lucen muy bien especialmente la zona de accesos a las habitaciones y sobre todo la pisina, estaba con el agua turbia cuando llegamos. Además no hacen limpieza de la habitación. El desayuno no es su fuerte, muy básico y caro, las porciones sumamente pequeñas y el personal de la mañana poco comunicativo y agradable.

Todo estupendo. La atención de Teresa, la recepcionista perfecta, fue amable servicial y nos ayudó a encontrar un taller el último día que necesitabamos para arreglar las llantas. El sitio ideal, los trabajadores muy amables, y cerca de la playa la Penca, preciosa.

Nada, todo bien.

We loved these quaint and relaxing villas in Playa Potrero. The villas and property were well maintained, the staff was friendly and attentive, the food was good. If you're looking for an authentic, cultural Costa Rican experience this is a great spot. We were able to walk to local stores, restaurants and beaches. It was easy to travel to other nearby areas such as Las Catinas and Tamarindo. The only reason I didn't give it 10 stars is because there was no small fridge in our villa. Aside from this we highly recommend this place.

There wasn't much we didn't like. We would've liked a small fridge and a few more English cable stations .

Teresa at reception was very friendly and helpful. Location was great and nice grounds.

The pool was lovely but could have used some cleaning more often. Lots floating on surface.

"Muy bien"

9.0

Es muy relajante. Aseado. La habitación estaba bien. Hamacas o lugares de descanso están muy bien. La piscina no es muy grande pero es suficiente para relajarse. Desayuno bien/normal. Queda cerca de muchos lugares útiles como pulperías, supermercado, playas, sodas, restaurantes, turismo en general.

La presión de los tubos del lavatorio y de la ducha es irregular. Si abres poco, te sale un chorro de agua potente que hace que todo se moje en el lavatorio, además el tubo se movía demasiado, parecía que estaba mal instalado o que se iba quebrar. Algo similar con la ducha. Quizas necesite limpieza para que los chorros no salgan por todas partes disparejos. En fin, esto no es algo grave, ya que igualmente había agua y calentaba como debía. Solo pienso que si es algo que se debería arreglar.

"Lovely and quiet."

8.0

Lovely grounds, mature trees and gardens, villas and patio were lovely, pool and loungers were great. Staff were attentive and kind. Breakfast options were included and amazing.

Although there were a few small grocery stores, one souvenir shop, and handful of restaurants, the main area of Potrero required a taxi (or 30 minute walk - hard in the heat).
