Lepanto Vacation Rentals

"If you are visiting for your first time to Costa Rica this is not the place. When we checked in at midnight we walked to our room, that was farthest from front desk, and the keys did not work. Had to walk back to get keys that worked then the door latch on the inside caught so we had to Jimmy it open. The rooms were not well maintained and the doors did not seal so bugs would crawl in the room and we would have to kill at least 5 bugs a day. The shower only had hot water so could not adjust the water temperature. The staff was not helpful at all and no one seemed to really know what was going on. No instructions were given to us that we had to make a reservation to use the restaurants for dinner. We went to have dinner the first night and only 1/3 of the tables were full. They would not seat us simply bc we did not have a reservation. There were only 2 of us. We paid for the premium to be able to eat at the restaurants. We tried to make reservations the next day and got declined on the app. Went to the front desk and had to wait then found out to make reservations we had to talk to someone else the front desk could not help. They had plenty of open times so there was no reason for it to have been denied when we tried on the app we were told to use. It seems more like a local vacation spot not for visitors from other countries. You get what you pay for here. Worth spending the extra money for a better experience. The views were great."

"Desde momento que llegamos tuvimos un trato muy diferente en comparación con los extranjeros, en la recepción un trato tosco y poco informativos, en el restaurante demasiado tiempo espera para ser atendidos y las bebidas nunca llegaron algunos de los saloneros nos ignoraban como sino nos vieran, no había agua embotellada para los nacionales, el control televisor no funcionaba tratamos reportarlo a la recepción donde normalmente se reporta y el teléfono tampoco funcionaba cuando fuimos nos indicaron que no era con ellos sino con el área administrativa hacia donde nos dirigimos y nunca atendieron la solicitud."

"Staff is fantastic! The breakfast consisted of 3-4 choices and very good. AC works well. "

"La experiencia que tuvimos fue 10/10. El personal amistoso, siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Las instalaciones limpias, en perfecto estado. Tiene una ventaja enorme, está a 2 min del embarcadero del ferry. Recomendado 100%"

"Our group of 4 couples and several children really enjoyed our stay. Overall it was great. We were bummed that the bikes were in pretty bad disrepair so we were not able to use them, but we quickly realized that we didn't need them as walking and driving was the best way to get around. The access to the beach was great, the grounds were beautiful, and the pool was perfect. We had monkeys playing in the trees surrounding the properties almost every day. It was super hot when we were there so the air conditioning struggled to keep it as cool as we would have liked, but not much you can do about that. The rooms got nice and cool at night so that was great. Paul was a great host and the property managers were communicative and helpful. We look forward to hopefully visiting again - maybe during the wet season when it's not so hot and dry."

"The ceiling fans really need to be cleaned. Mine had 2 inches of dust which was not good for my allergies. "

"Excellent location. Other reviews are accurate. However, There are two locations for this hotel. one is near the main road - that is where the pool is and it is a small pool so we didn't end up using it. Our room was on the second floor overlooking the beach area which was as advertised. Excellent breakfast included. Staff were great. It is a small town so easy access to everything."

"Beautiful property. An oasis a couple miles from Sámara, short walk to the beach - highly recommend! "

"Parking in the street is sketchy. I would highly recommend knowing how to speak Spanish if you are staying here. Not a lot of surrounding restaurants. Staff are very helpful, AC works well, pool is great, community hotel vibe with updated rooms. Power went out twice, but they had a company fixing it there immediately. Hotel parking is tricky-but eventually worked out. Go early for breakfast-avoid the rush. "
