Hotel Tramonto

Good value, clean room, awesome shower, lovely pool, convenient restaurant, very nice staff, beautiful beach across the street. Just know you shouldn't swim there. Very popular with surfers, some seem to park in front of the hotel, spoiling the view from the street level outdoor seating. But there is seating on the second floor patio, and on the beach itself. Laundry service available, free drying, $1/item wash. Hotel can book tours for you, busses will come pick you up in front of the hotel. I liked the hotel and would return, though I wish there were a small fridge and microwave in the room. I liked that there were no partiers here, it was definitely quiet by 9:30pm. Good breakfast, and nice to have the option to dine there too. My traveling companion likes the room warm at night, I like it cool, no problem we turned on the AC and she used one of the extra comforters we found in the closet.

Very nice hotel. A little strange being out in the open not near other hotels. Wish we could've stayed for more then one night to enjoy more of the amenities.

We were a family group of 4 aged 18 - 55, staying in 2 rooms. The hotel was easy to find using a navigation app and is in a great location. The reception staff were friendly and welcoming. The rooms were a good size with 2 double beds and a small balcony. Breakfast is the usual Costa Rican offering and just right for a day of activities. The restaurant and bar staff are pleasant and helpful. The beach is across the road from the hotel and the pool is great for kids if the sea looks too rough. As the tide goes out there is a danger of undertow but as the tide comes in it seems to push you to shore so appears safe for confident swimmers. There is no life guard on the beach or at the pool. There are various trips you can undertake, we opted for an early morning visit to the local park for animal viewing. It is easy to pay on entry and we hired a guide which was the best advice, we saw animals and birds we would have missed and it provides income for the local community. Crocodile bridge is also worth a visit. This hotel suits couples and families. A single traveller may find it to be too far from local nightlife.

This was my second stay at this location. The 1st was a bit better. Our room had a sewage smell to it. We didn't complain though. The breakfast was pretty good. Beach is literally across the street. No beach chairs or umbrellas are provided though. Just towels.

The hotel room was sparse, regulated air condition so could not keep it cool enough to sleep, tv issues, noisy, food was awful, dishes left on patio for 24 hours. Waiter at restaurant was great but the woman who served breakfast was grumpy and stingy. It was down a road that was to far to walk to any restaurants but a beautiful beach.
