Vacaciones en San José

NO DOOR IN BATHROOM can be an issue. The hotel is beautiful and in a great location, walking distance from the center of Puerto Viejo. However, we had an issue upon arrival. We booked a room for three adults, and the photos on Expedia clearly showed a bathroom with a door. Instead, they tried to give us a room with no door to the shower or toilet, and the beds had a direct view into the shower. This was never mentioned anywhere. This setup might work for a couple, but it’s very uncomfortable for three adults. Having to step OUT of the hotel room each time someone needs to use the shower or toilet is not the greatest. This was never mentioned anywhere. The receptionist said all rooms were like that and initially only offered a biombo (folding screen) for privacy. We felt misled and asked to cancel our 2-night reservation. Only then did the receptionist contact the owner and offer us a different room with a door into the toilet area, plus another biombo for the shower area. This solution worked, and after that our stay was pleasant. We simply showered with the bathroom light off. The receptionist was very kind and even brought us three Coca-Colas as a gesture. Breakfast was good, with hot and cold options. The second morning’s buffet was a bit disorganized (we had to ask for plates, silverware, and glasses), but the staff was helpful. Overall, once the room issue was resolved, we enjoyed our stay.

Considero importante tomar en cuenta que no queda cerca de la playa. Queríamos hacer late check out pero no lo permitieron indicando que no tenían habitaciones a pesar de que por esta app tenían varias opciones de habitaciones disponibles. No se puede tener alimentos, hielera o similar en el área de piscina. En resumido si solo deseas descansar es una opción. Sin embargo las estructuras tienen un serio tema de acústica y todo ruido se potencia y desde las 6am se escucha ruido del personal. Portasos, carritos de servicio, conversaciones entre el personal y demás. Tener cuidado alrededor de la piscina pues habían derrames de cloro y a mi pareja se le echó a perder la ropa al indicarlo en recepción no recibimos mayor preocupación de la persona que recibió la queja. Temas positivos: el trato amable del personal en recepción, el desayuno muy bueno, un lugar precioso, habitaciones amplias y limpias. Cóctel de bienvenida, el staff del restaurante super servicial y amables.

Tranquilo y buen desayuno
