6/10 Good

The staff was courteous and kind. The room was ready when we arrived - which we appreciated. However, we didn’t have much soap, no shampoo. The showers didn’t work properly. The beds were comfortable. The property was well maintained. The pool was nice. Breakfast was good: eggs, rice, yogourt, toasts and fruit. Coffee was hot. Tang juice was offered.

8/10 Very good

Guanacaste is a fantastic spot to stay if you’re looking for spotlessly clean rooms, impeccably accommodating and friendly staff, and a great pool to cool off in. The place and rooms are a bit dated but very obviously taken care of and maintained by the family that live there. Room air con worked great and kept us cool for sleeping. The breakfast is simple but very tasty and homemade. The only downside is it wasn’t as close to the beach as we initially thought, but we discovered lots of nice beaches and restaurants (el tiki and amigos y tacos were particularly awesome), due to having to trek around town! Would highly recommend if you are looking for a reasonably priced and very comfortable stay. Muchos gracias!

This is a nice little lodge within the Flamingo/Potrero area. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the included breakfast was adequate. Definitely I would recommend this if you´re looking for a good place to stay without breaking the bank.

Breakfast is delicious; people are nice and friendly. Close to the beach but we liked flamingo beach better in the mornings as there were no one. We didnt use the pool but we enjoyed the birds in the garden.

This hotel has a quaint and comfortable feel. The staff were very kind and the atmosphere was friendly and had a nice family vibe. The pool was well maintained and the breakfast was perfect. We did wish there was a blanket on our beds as they were made up with only a sheet set. Otherwise it was a very pleasant stay!

The proprietor of Guanacaste Lodge is amazing! She absolutely made us feel the love and kindness that Costa Rica is known for. We stayed on our first night and first visit to the country and could not have been more pleased. Don't let the parking and construction sway you. The property is clean and rooms very comfortable!

The owner and her family were very sweet and accommodating. We missed breakfast one morning as we woke up late but they happily brought my son juice and toast. Good facility, the pool was very nice. The place is literally next door to a supermarket which was very convenient and an Italian restaurant that was nice and delicious. A very easy stay in a nice little town and the owners were very attentive and friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice, homely facility. The lady in charge was kind and friendly. Room was spacious, clean. Large wooden walk-in closet was a nice touch, gave a bit of vintage vibe. Breakfast was good. Large parking area. Easy walk to the beach. A supermarket next door was an added advantage.
