I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel, which is perfectly located right on the beach. The ambiance was amazing, and the view from the balcony was breathtaking. However, the service experience left something to be desired, especially during check-in. The room was spacious and comfortable, but I had some concerns about the responsiveness of the staff. Overall, it's a great place if you’re after a beachfront experience but be prepared for potential service hiccups.

I had a challenging experience during my stay. While the room was nice and comfortable, the check-in process was frustrating, with delays and unhelpful staff. The noise from the traffic and a clogged toilet added to the discomfort. On the bright side, the beds were cozy, and I appreciated the cleanliness. However, the cost did not reflect the service received.

My stay was pretty disappointing. Although the beds were nice and the hotel charged a hefty amount for one night, the service was lacking and the wait for our room was unacceptable. The noise from traffic was quite bothersome at night, but I did appreciate the comfortable beds.

The service was far from ideal. We faced major delays at check-in, and the staff seemed dismissive of our concerns.

It’s conveniently located, but being right by traffic means noise can be an issue, especially at night.

I had an amazing stay at Backyard Hotel. The room was spacious and right on the beach, offering stunning views and a lovely patio area. The location was perfect for exploring Central Costa Rica, with Manuel Antonio and Monteverde not too far away. The staff was incredibly accommodating and went the extra mile to make our trip enjoyable. However, there were a few ants in the bathroom, and it could get a bit noisy on weekend nights.
