She reports that the hotel is extremely clean, the breakfasts included were excellent and the service exceptional. She stayed for a week, the hotel staff were... More

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2012

Friendly helpful staff (arranged taxi to Rincon), but seems like only the owner speaks English. Spacious with colourful cheery decor. No AC but large ceiling fan. No room safe. Bars on windows and secure metal doors. Good location: close to a Jumbo supermarket and banks. Breakfast very simple. Close to a McD.

Dear Guest and Trip Advisor user, thank you for your review and friendly remarks! We do have to clarify that our staff is all local, and that they do not speak any English. Nevertheless, if Mariana is nota round they will be happy to contact her for any questions. We wonder why you did not use the air conditioning because... More

A converted public school it has a unique vibe and it's fun to spend the night in a classroom. The location is convenient (backs onto the supermarket and mini mall right on the main intersection of the Pan American Highway and Route 21) but not terribly charming and can be a bit loud and dusty (especially in dry season).

Dear Guest and Trip Advisor user, thank you for reviewing us! We have to make clear that we also believe our location is not the most appealing one in terms of beauty. However, it is convenient for travellers looking to have a walking distance to banks, the supermarket, drugstore, and city center. It is also close to gas stations and... More

Let me introduce my review by getting the most pertinent questions out of the way; It's clean, your not going to get mugged, your things are safe, your car is safe and it's walking distance to a classic 24 hour restaurant, a gym and a nice grocery store. Okay, so besides all the musts, this hotel has a lot of... More

We stayed at El Punto for one night on our way from Monteverde to Rincon de la Vieja. The rooms are much like they look in the pictures - brightly coloured, fun and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful and we spent a few hours lounging around in the morning reading and taking photos. As a few of the reviews on... More

It's a little dustier than what the pictures promise. For a couple of nights it's a good choice, even if a little pricey for what you get. All the staff we talked to only spoke Spanish, but were charming and helpful. If you need a driver, make sure they call Offi for you. He's the best tour guide you could... More

Dear Guest, El Punto is constantly working to improve its services. We apologize for the dust that made you uncomfortable during your stay. Unfortunately, as you might have noticed, it is the summer time, and we have been experiencing very strong winds, and sometimes, it is hard to work against nature.

Great little hotel in Liberia. Colorful, comfortable and clean rooms, great location close to town centre. It can be a little noisy as it is on InterAmericana; however, if you're used to some traffic noise, it won't be a problem. Showers nice and big, and warm water. Breakfast was good. We stayed in the orange room - double bed on... More

Dear Guest, We have to agree with you, our location next to a highway can have its pros and cons. We are continuously working into making our garden as lush as possible to buff off the noise from the Street. Our location though, is also strategic for those adventurous travelers who want to go explore the surrounding areas as well... More

It was a perfect place to relax before heading home. Mariana was so hospitable that she took me to her pilates class with her. Wifi, close to good food amenities, and a great art gallery. Close to airport and she gives you a ride there. I highly recommend.

It's right next to the main road, but you wouldn't know it as it feels very idyllic, and the rooms are 'boutiquey' in feel and very clean and spacious. Breakfast wonderful - freshly baked bread.
