No hot water at bathroom sink. Bathroom mirror top was 55 inches (140 cm) off the floor, I shaved on my knees. We were in room three at the top of an unlit staircase with no landing outside the door. My wife almost went down the stairs. The AC worked poorly. There was no in-the-room brochure with directions. We had... More

We stayed here 4 nights, 2 nights at Condo in Manuel Antonio, and then back here for our last night in Costa Rica. Staying here made our stay in Costa Rica! My niece and I both absolutely loved the hotel. I have been to Costa Rica several times before, and have always stayed in Arenal in the middle of the... More

My aunt and I were lucky enough to come across this wonderful place when our original destination hotel had water problems. It was one of the most relaxing and fun places I have ever stayed. My room, number 4, had a high ceiling, beautiful wood floors, a wonderful slate shower with plenty of hot water. My vanity area had a... More

Our first and last nights were spent in this extraordinary, quirky and delightful hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful and the meals were very good. We had an extremely spacious room with a bathroom like no other we have every seen! Loved shaving with a view of the trees outside through the sloping window above the mirror. Of all... More

We stayed at Corteza Amarilla Lodge on the 1st night of our vacation. The lodge is very quiet as it is small. The art work is very creative and whimsical, fun to look at! There are many areas throughout the grounds to sit and relax. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms: We were in room 11, being in... More

Loved staying here! Everywhere you look there is something wonderful to see. We stayed room #1 which had a nice comfortable seating area, though a little dark, to read. Bathroom was gigantic and very clean. Even had a few television stations from Miami in English. Only negative, was the room was near the road and construction was going on which... More

Our first impression of this hotel was that it was beautifully decorated, well integrated with nature, and reminded us of a Costa Rican Pier 1. Raphael greeted us at the reception desk and was quite friendly and warm. However, there were little things that could have been improved upon. The locks didn't seem secure, since they were push-button locks. As... More

We spent our first night in Costa Rica at this funky, creatively decorated little property. An artist lives here, or at least comes in to decorate - small tables with glass beads, mosaics, whales painted on the ceiling, found object sculptures, there are pleasantly surprising vignettes around every corner. Breakfast was traditionally Costa Rican and hearty, the room was clean... More

We stayed here on our final night in Costa Rica. We chose it as it looked somewhat different and it was close to the airport. We spent a pleasant afternoon/evening sitting in the restaurant reading, drinking tea, beer and eating. Very attentive staff behind the desk and in the restaurant. Restaurant a touch overpriced IMO. The decor of the hotel... More
