Guest Reviews
- Melanie (9/5): - Spot de kitesurf très sympa avec moniteurs super! Chambre très spacieuse avec cuisine commune très bien équipée, qui est un grand avantage étant donné qu’il n’y a pas beaucoup d’infrastructure autour. Il faisait très chaud dans la chambre pendant la journée, malgré le ventilateur au plafond.
- Cruz Cubillo (7/5): Good place, great location but with opportunities to improve - Location and sea view incredible. Cleaning, There were soaps left by the previous tenant in the bathroom, and the air conditioning wasn't cooling; we wrote to them but received no response.
- Gerardo (6/5): - La habitación que nos tocó es de madera (tipo cabaña) y colinda con otra igual, por lo que el ruido de la habitación de la par se escucha completamente. La estancia es poco confortable, principalmente si el vecino de al lado hace mucho ruido.
- Fabricio (8/5): Muy lindo - La cercanía con la playa y las vistas
- Olman (7/5): -
- Juan Carlos (8/5): - Si estaba todo muy comodo
- Bert (8/5): - Gute Lage, toller Blick Essen mittelmäßig
- Daniele (9/5): Fantastico - Fantastico in tutto: camera molto semplice ma pulita e con vista fantastica.
Ristorante semplice ma molto buono.
Kite School con istruttori fantastici.
Proprietario super disponibile e simpatico
Parcheggio. Nulla
- Yurii (10/5): -
- luigi (7/5): - Very friendly staff......quite location......good food.... An air-conditioned will make the stay more comfortable.....
- Corrado (9/5): -
- Angulo (8/5): Cálida - Si Poco espacio pero aceptable, el Parqueo independiente de la habitación
- Angulo (8/5): Tranquilo - Tranquilidad Demasiada calor y en una de las habitaciones no había aire acondicionado
- mihaela (9/5): Wonderful stay away from touristy areas. - We were on a kiteboarding vacation. We loved the location, minutes by car to the beach; we stayed in the suite- great view, spacious and very clean. Breakfast was great. Staff was very nice and helpful.
- Victor (5/5): De paso - La vista a la Bahía Nos dieron 2 camas individuales, para un matrimonio, las zonas de parqueo no están definidos para las habitaciones, entonces se estacionan mal y cuando se solicita que lo solucionen, me dicen que yo busque a las personas de los vehículos mal estacionados, también tengo en cuenta que existe una mala cultura de algunos conductores,
- Shirleny (8/5): -
- Maria Sofia (10/5): - La onda del lugar y las vistas al mar.
Que te ofrezcan los equipos de kite y que tengan traslados al spot.
- Daniel VP (10/5): -
- Juan Carlos (3/5): - Buena atención Me dieron una habitación sin aire acondicionado lo peor q te puede pasar en Guanacaste
- ryan (8/5): Amazing water views - Friendly helpful staff, great location and views, good value Nothing
- KIMBERLY (7/5): - Cercanía y vista ah Papaturro No tienen A/C las habilitaciones de dos personas
- Rebecca (9/5): -
- Oscar Mario (9/5): -
- Iris (9/5): - La vista del lugar muy linda.
Atención muy amable.
La ubicación del lugar estrategica, desde el punto de vista de tener transporte propio el lugar esta cerca del centro y de las principales playas.
En general las instalaciones bonitas y con un buen mantenimiento. Habitaciones y principalmente el baño es muy pequeño, pero es aceptable con conforme relación precio calidad.
Algo de valorar es el tema de aire acondicionado y contar con pantalla de TV, pero es un tema que no para todos los usurios es importante, al menos para mi me es indiferente, pero si conozco a personas que sufren mucho de calor y si prefieren aire acondicionado.
- Salas Chaves (10/5): -
- Christopher (7/5): Good for value and location. - The staff were friendly, and the lady cooking breakfast was very polite and kind. The breakfast was very good too.
Bed was comfortable enough. There was some issue at check-in, for some reason somebody else made the checkin on my name… they solve it and gave us another room.
- Federico (6/5): - Good location. The bed could be more comfortable.
We saw ants in the room.
- daniel (8/5): Nous a convenu - Bel emplacement, prêt de la plage, vue, calme , propre
Accès bien indiqué
Véhicule à prévoir
- benedetta (9/5): Amazing stay - The location is amazing: quiet, with monkeys, squirrels and birds everywhere. It's a perfect place for kitesurfing, as the hotel is also a kitesurfing School, giving lessons and renting gears. The people there are basically focused on that and this made me feel at home, as it creates immediately a community.
The room was clean and the restaurant was good. The place is actually way better than the pictures. I really loved my stay. Possible improvement: considering the remoteness of the place and the costs of Costa Rica, it would be awesome to have a common kitchen.
The only real complaint: the kitesurfing equipment for rental does not have insurance.
- Valérie (10/5): - La terrasse près de la chambre.
Le hamac. Le restaurant
- Zayda (10/5): Fascinante y satisfactoria. - La zona de parqueo muy pequeña, se complica con la cantidad de vehículos que llegan todos los huéspedes,
- Daniel VP (10/5): -
- Marcantonio (9/5): - Tiene buena ubicación a poca distancia de la playa.
Vista excepcional!
Habitación limpia, cama cómoda.
Es perfecto para el kite-surf! Habitación pequeña y espartana.
Algo cara por lo que es.
- fernandez (7/5): Para recordarlo - Desayuno regular. Ubicacion muy buena Parqueo
- denis (8/5): -
- Marlene (1/5): Irrespetuoso al nacional - Por razones obvias no nos quedamos en el hotel y no nos quisieron devolver el dinero.
No había electricidad por lo que el restaurante no funcionaba.
Mal español.
Debían devolver el dinero.
Muy tranquilos se lo quedaro
n Atención y que se dejaron el dinero sin ni siquiera usamos las instalaciones.
No había electricidad
- Gabriel (10/5): - La vista
- Pavel (9/5): - skvele, klidne misto. dobra kuchyne. blizka plaz bez lidi, paradni koupani, prijemnejsi teplota oceanu jak na jihi Kostariky. kdo hleda misto bez spoustu turistu, vrele doporucuji blizke Refugio de vida silvestre Bahia Junquillal.
- Barbara (10/5): - Todo perfecto
La habitación tiene una vista espectacular y la posición es perfecta para llegar a las playas, restaurantes etc...
Absolutamente recomendado
- Hit the Road (8/5): Relaxed and comfortable stay - Great peaceful location, with a super view over the bay from the terrace in front of my room. All staff were very friendly and helpful, and nice food was available. Whilst I was not kite surfing, I liked the vibe that the place had. I had very noisy fan's in my room and they could do with being replaced.
The accommodation is built into and on a steep hill, so if you have mobility issues, this is not the place for you.
- stb62et (7/5): - Kleines Appartment, nahe am Strand, sauber allerdings etwas lieblos eingerichtet.
- Manuel (8/5): -
- Desislava (8/5): -
- Jose (8/5): -

- julia (9/5): - Breathtaking view, quiet, very lovely staff and service!
Prices for kite gear rent pretty good! .
- MANUEL (9/5): Buenas vista y confort - La suite, suite very confortable, the vieu Nada
- Melanie (10/5): -
- Angela (7/5): Buena ubicación pero no muy confortable. - La ubicación está bien y la vista. El parqueo es un poco incómodo. La habitación pequeña es demasiado pequeña y el baño estaba sucio.
La suite podría estas más acondicionada, más equipada.
- Oana Ruxandra (10/5): Great stay! Clean bungalow with a beautiful ocean view, and the kitesurfing school staff were very friendly and helpful -
- Samantha (1/5): Pésima experiencia, los instructores son bastante problemáticos - La comodidad de la habitación El apartamento tiene las instalaciones realmente descuidadas, la cocina se mantienen desagradablemente sucia, dejan comida afuera y se llena de hormigas, los instructores son bastante problemáticos, nos acusaron a mi esposo y a mi de robarles pan, huevos y jugo sin ninguna evidencia, dejan comida podrida dentro del microondas, tienen una esponja de lavar platos que está negra de tanto uso, lavan mal los utensilios de comida
- Aldo (6/5): Kite hotel a playa copal - Staff molto gentile e premuroso, ti fa sentire a casa noi avevamo la Junior suite, il letto era un king size molto spazioso. Il ristorante dell’hotel era molto buono. Il bagno era sporco e vecchio, la struttura avrebbe delle grandi potenzialità, ma poco sfruttate.
- Alejandro (9/5): -
- Jaffet (8/5): Lugar con buena ubicación cercano a varias playas de la zona. - Buena ubicación, cercano a varias playas y muy bonita vista. El espacio del baño en las habitaciones sencillas es sumamente reducido.
- Benedetta (9/5): - A nice place within the nature, good vibes, food and service.
- Sébastien (9/5): -
- Claudio (9/5): Fantastic location close to the Beach - View, clean room and bathroom with hot water, nice patio and terrace, silence. At night. Great if you love kitesurfing The location is a little isolated if you don’t have your own vehicle
- Roger (7/5): -
- Sylvie (7/5): Nous étions de passege à cet hôtel avant la traversée vers le Nicaragua c’était ok - Hôtel dans la montagne Breakfast was expensive for a small croissant with ham and cheese
- Rodríguez Fernández (10/5): Excelente - La cercanía al mar
Muy higiénico
Muy seguro
- Thierry (10/5): Fantastische mensen mooie propere kamers en de locatie geweldig - De ligging en de verlaten stranden liggen letterlijk op loopafstand , totale rust in een bijna ongerept gebied , Alles was perfect
- Clémence (10/5): - Localisation parfaite ! Équipe et prof de kite super sympas !!
- Farhan (6/5): -

- Andres (8/5): -
- Vargas (10/5): -
- Jan (9/5): Yeah go there and enjoy - Great view, nice Italien owner, very qualm.
The recommendations for the beaches. No public kitchen,
Steep hill
- Sciapur (10/5): - Il posto è fantastico e Nicola ti fa sentire come in famiglia! Non c'è nulla che non mi è piaciuto
- Fabio (8/5): -
- Sandoval (9/5): - El paisaje que tiene fantástico, la señora que me atendió muy gentil Me faltó el aire acondicionado, aunque costará mas
- Pablo (10/5): - La ubicación Nada, todo bien
- Viv (10/5): -
- Schöberl (10/5): Gerne wieder! - Super netter und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber, ruhige Umgebung und Terrasse mit tollem Ausblick!
- Eduardo Zamora (9/5): ¡Una excelente opción de hospedaje para visitar La Cruz y cerca de hermosas playas! - Toda la estadía fue mejor de lo planeado, desde un check-in sencillo y rápido hasta un excelente servicio y recomendaciones para visitar comercios o playas en la zona, delicioso desayuno y charlas muy agradables con Nicola, el dueño. Definitivamente, logré el objetivo de descansar, relajarme y pasar excelentes momentos visitando varias playas de La Cruz y luego yendo hasta el centro de la ciudad. 100% recomendada como opción de hospedaje. N/A. Todo cumplió con mis expectativas.
- Lidia (10/5): Cómodo y cercano a playas - La vista hacia el mar desde la habitación en Suite Deluxe con cama extragrande es bella. Durante la mañana fue espectacular escuchar las loras. El hotel es bastante amigable con la naturaleza y se adecua al entorno. Es sencillo y ofrece buenas comodidas para estancias cortas.
- R (8/5): - The location, the comfortable beds, the friendly staff and the nearby beach. I know we booked last minute, but a last room check for cleanness would be appreciated (there was a lot of gekko poop on the bed). The light outside was very bright at night.
- Vargas (10/5): -
- David (10/5): - El servicio fue excelente, las habitaciones limpias y muy cercano a todo. Y la vista de mi habitación me encanto. Recomiendo este sitio con entusiasmo, cuando vuelva, me quedo aquí otra vez. Además Nicola y Joselyne son excelentes hosts y Dan un muy buen servicio.
- Astrid (7/5): - La vista Que nos dieron unas monedas que ya no están en circulación.
Del resto bien
- Dylan (8/5): - I got the bungalow with AC it was good. The bed was comfy and the beach view it’s great
- Anna (8/5): Very good - The friendliest and nicest host of all the hosts that we have met on the way. Beautiful view of the coast, hot water in the shower, cute dogs. The room was super warm, even with the ventilation it was almost impossible to cool it down. The walls are paper thin, you can hear the late night cars coming and going into the hostel or people talking as is they were standing next to your bed.
- Chantelle (8/5): Very good -
- Roberto (9/5): Superb -
- Pablo (8/5): Nice views and very comfortable! - The place was very nice, with beautiful views and surprisingly, not hot at all. Fans work pretty well. It is on a very steep slope, so you might think twice before forgetting something up in your room. The other thing was that my room had the reflective screen facing me, so I could see myself inside the room, but so could everyone else.
- Zamora (9/5): Superb -
- Luis (6/5): - Sin aire acondicionado, el televisor ni microondas servian y los abanicos casi no hacian viento...por lo menos deberian de tener abanicos mas potentes
- Marinus (8/5): Very good - Cozy little stay close to the beach, but in the middle of nowhere, the next Restaurant (besides the Hotel's own small Café) was 20min walking. Breakfast was available but overpriced. The staff was very helpful!
- Louisa (8/5): Each room has its own vibe. Stayed 2x and hope to visit again - The rooms and casitas are nestled into the mountains giving great views from sunrise to sunset!! Was disappointed in the pizza and how much the microwave was used
- Jake (9/5): Superb - By far the best outfit to kiteboard with in Bahia Salinas, or Costa Rica for that matter. Their spot on the beach is the most upwind, works at all tides, and is always open 9.30 - 4.00, whereas downwind beach outfitters are swamped at spring tides, and are only open when they have lessons booked.
Experienced instructors (currently in 2025) fluent in English, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Russian & likely others. Gear rentals includes a full quiver of this year's Core XR.
Bring smaller kites, nothing bigger than 12m. I wore a 3/2 shorty, but some were in shorts / rash-guards.
Don't worry about travelling here alone - if you kite, or are trying to learn, you'll soon be one of the family.
A rental car is not at all necessary for kiting, as transport to the beach is provided, but is nice for trips to other (wind free) beaches for sunsets.
Very dog friendly. Morning yoga.
- Václav (8/5): Very good -
- Kenneth (1/5): Never coming back 💩💩💩 - First reservation room is a piece of sht ...way too much for that kind of crap room Booking provide options what supposed to be included on first reservation which was a fiasco ...so i paid extra to get a bedroom with A/C
- Maha (8/5): Very good -
- Roberto (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marie-Claude (8/5): Excellent - La vue est magnifique, la place est à 5 minutes max à pied
Très satisfaite.
La prochaine fois, j'aimerais essayer les cabines avec A/C
- Pavel (5/5): 1 night is more than enough - quiet , maybe too much no AC despite information on a steep hill
hot in the room, restaurnat only offered 1 mean ( spaghetti)
- Joe (10/5): This is my fifth year of staying there - Location for Kite boarding
- duane (8/5): - Nice place, a bit older, but clean. close to ocean, but a bit of a walk to get there. Big climb to get to rooms, ok if you are not physically hampered. Close to some decent dining if you have a car. Food at property was average. Great value for dollars. Rooms very small and bank of 5 rooms share a small patio space. Nice common space below at front office. Many staff were volunteers from other countries learning to Kite Surf, they were all very friendly.
