“Nice view but quite rundown”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

Stayed for 1 night at the apartment with 3 bedrooms. The hotel and apartment seems so big when we arrive but that's about it. It was probably a great place a few yrs ago but has clearly gone down from there. The lifts was scary, shuts suddenly and always stops at level 1. We made a theory that it may have an 'invisible' visitor at level 1, haha. The pool is not bad but it clearly lacks maintenance as we can see greenish layer at the bottom. The beach is okay but for those whom are fussy, you may want to stray away as some claimed that the water's slightly oily as the big tankers/ships stops nearby (i actually didn't see that though). We had fun flying kites at the beach, it is not crowded and you get the whole sandy beach for yourself. Breakfast is a big disappointment, selection was limited and it was tasteless.

Room Tip: Book on high floors, the view is great!

“Not Bad...”

We stayed at the apartment on Christmas day. The apartment is big enough for 5 of us but the problem, there is no wifi and the lift to the apartment is very slow, I will rather climb the stairs. Quite far to the beach, about 30 minutes drive to teluk kemang beach

“Don't stay at the Le Paris hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011
4
people found this review helpful

This is part of the Costa Rica apartments. I stayed at the hotel. It was a terrible experience. The staff were unhelpful. The hotel is rundown. The elevator did not always work. When I had laundry done, I had to keep contacting the reception to find it after it was overdue to get it back. Eventually I found it. The view towards the ocean overlooks ships loading palm oil - interesting if you like ships but otherwise not a sight for a holiday or business meeting. The hotel is not easily accessible to shopping or eating places. The hotel meal options are basic. The hotel needs a large injection of cash to completely remodel it before I would consider staying here again.

“Don't expect too much”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2011
4
people found this review helpful

You may confuse the name of the hotel, Le Paris is named for hotel, Costa-Rica is named for service apartment. But it is nothing related with any international hotel chain group and it own by the same owner.
The hotel is managed by a local private company and the owner is having the typical profit oriental thinking, the hotel is making profit but all has been transfer to his own business.
I used to work in this hotel 6 years ago, and I know it is no changes till now.
The staff is friendly and really put a lot of effort to maintain the service level, because we all know the reputation is bad. However, the owner doesn’t care whereas the staffs care.
The hotel is old, and lack of maintenance, many areas needs to be changed and repaired. Reason being is lack of fund.
The room is big enough if you compare with others, furthermore you are paying the cheap price! You don’t need to choose Executive room, just normal sea view room. You will enjoy the sea view; you don’t need to go anywhere, just sit on the balcony and watch the beautiful sunset. The furniture may be old, but they time to time will vanish it.
The beach is public, but is fewer outsiders known, you could be feeling private on this. Well, it is not the beautiful beach in PD.
The location is closed to downtown and bus station, is good for bag backer, it can easily reach by public bus and all the needs are within the walking distance.
Nevertheless, the hotel has been taken over by another company (the latest news I had), hope it can keep well and having a bright future.

Room Tip: See view room.

Planned to go holiday with family, book thru online, unfortunately, the transaction failed as the payment gateway between credit card bank with the merchant bank got problem. Called the credit card bank, confirm the payment is approved. Still worrying as on my computer screen (Hotel Reservation system ) error., therefore called the reservation officer, Miss Pang, politely she had explained transaction processing process and what had kept me secure and warm is that she said the hotel will revert the payment to me if the unsuccessful transaction $$ ( link to the hotel system ) chargeable to my cc accounts.

I had faxed the manual secure guaranteed booking to her to secure my stays. Thanks to her or my family holiday will be RUINED!
