There was only one plug-in in the whole room and it was far from the beds so we had to ask for an extension cord to plug in our CPAP and other personal items. There were bugs in the bathroom in the sheets and throughout the room. There were only two pillows on each bed and only one minimal sheet. We ended us leaving one night early.
Breakfast is delicious; people are nice and friendly. Close to the beach but we liked flamingo beach better in the mornings as there were no one. We didnt use the pool but we enjoyed the birds in the garden.
The staff are kind and friendly. The pool is warm! The rooms are large and having a small fridge is a great feature. The included breakfast was filling and delicious. The place is not fancy, but it’s clean and very quiet. I enjoyed my stay.
C'est un endroit confortable, pas luxueux. Très abordable et bien situé à 5 mins en voiture de la plage flamingo. Il y a une épicerie directement à coté de l'hotel.
This is a nice little lodge within the Flamingo/Potrero area. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the included breakfast was adequate. Definitely I would recommend this if you´re looking for a good place to stay without breaking the bank.
The time we spent at Guanacaste Lodge was GREAT! The staff was AMAZING. AnnaMaria in charge of the property, was so kind and professional. She made our stay extra special and handled things so well. Our kids loved the pool, playing soccer and hanging out with other kids. The property was perfectly located. Gorgeous Flamingo beach 5 min drive away and best grocery store ever next door and a incredible pizza place down the street. We had shaded ares to do yoga and or work our laptops outside. Our place was left impeccable after each cleaning. On top of all this, it was very affordable. We would definitely go back.
This is a beautiful place with a nice pool. The host is very friendly. They serve hot breakfast! Room is very clean with hot water - more bright light could be better! This is close to super market as well that is walkable!
Rain rain rain so pool was closed and grounds partially flooded. If warm sunny n dry would be very nice property. The staff was very accommodating to get hairdryer and hot pot to make coffee on room. Breakfast was very good, fruit, eggs, beans rice juice coffee toast.
We had a really nice stay in the hotel. The staff there were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. We enjoyed the swimming pool and the surroundings were peaceful and quiet.
The staff was very friendly. Accommodations were clean and the grounds well maintained. The pool was excellent. Location is within walking distance to the beach. I did rent a golf cart to visit other beaches that were a little further away. One of the best meals I had was at a roadside soda. All in all, highly recommend.
