"Wonderful place with amazing staff! I had a fantastic time here and as a solo female traveler, I felt very safe. Breakfast was amazing and great value."

Hotel La Palapa

8/10 Good

"A very unique hotel with instant access to private and public beach. However, the mirror in our room seemed to have mold on it, so that was not pleasant at all. Otherwise it's not a bad place to sleep after a day of activities."

In the Shade Hotel - Coworking - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and modern facility. Excellent staff. Sandra seemed to appear almost instantly anytime we needed anything. The only complaint was the road to get to the property. It is unpaved and if you enter from one end it is deeply rutted, and washed away. The other end of the street was much less difficult to navigate, but still had a very large pothole. I doubt this is something that can or will be fixed anytime soon. It is what you learn to expect in Costa Rica. Bottom line, we would most certainly stay there again."
