Best location, walking distance from the beach and restaurants, good thing because if you stay up in the mountains you will need to catch the public bus or pay for parking if you find a spot. I visit them at least twice a year, the rooms are very clean and simple, I always bring friends with me and we all... More

My husband and I stayed here for four nights on our honeymoon last month and were very dispointed by Hotel Vela Bar if for no other reason than the unfriendly and some downright rude staff members. A female server in the restaurant could not be bothered to help get someone to check us in when we arrived, instead made a... More

My partner and I loved this hotel. The room we had was quite quirky and felt like a little cottage. There's lots of flowers and plants all around the rooms and we spotted quite a few different animals just outside our door. We also loved the two friendly dogs who live at the hotel-so cute!! The location couldn't be better-only... More

Stayed here for 3 nights and will stay there again on my next visit. Close to the park and the beaches and lots of restaurants near the main strip as well. Didn't eat here though. Cheap breakfasts at the place next door for 2000 colones. Down the road towards the park are lots of great places to eat as well.... More

We shared a huge lunch of a whole fried snapper with rice and veggies, a side of fries, large bowl of gazpacho and two beers, and it was very good. The server was very sweet, and the tab was $34US. Quiet spot in an area that is somewhat hectic. We did not stay in a room, but peaked at them... More

We didn't stay at this hotel, thank god...we stopped by to have dinner at the restaruant. A gentleman we had met recommended this restaurant for good, well priced seafood. We came in about 5 pm and no one else was at the restaurant. There was 6 of us so we asked the waitress if it was okay if we put... More

We ate lunch at this place after visiting the national park. I would say.. don't bother! The waitress was rude and got the order wrong twice; but was not even remotely apologetic, just said we had ordered something different! Which clearly wasn't the case ( not lost in translation either!) When the food eventually came, the salad was pretty dire... More

The rooms were very nice and good airconditioned. Nice shower and a good bed. The owners were very nice people and the cocktails delicious!! Breakfast was for a good price. If you are going to the beach this is really a very good place to stay...

We stayed for several nights here.The rooms are clean and well looked after. It is an older hotel but the price was really reasonable.We enjoyed dining in the restaurant and being visited by the dogs and cats.There is no pool but you are 1 block from the beach and 2 blocks from the National Park
