Internet painfully slow. Water pressure very low. Dryer didn't work. Bath towels smelled like they stayed in the washing machine too long before being dried. Closets were filled with paint cans and maintenance equipment.

This is a great hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
We used the pool several times. The room was very comfortable and the air conditioning was a nice perk.
You are a 20 minute walk to the main city center. I would highly recommend listening to the advice of the hotel staff and walk along the beach. The walk along the road would not be recommended, especially at night.
This property is a good value for your money. I would stay here again.

El Mangroove is a modern, beautiful property located on a very calm bay with great sunset views. The area is very peaceful - a perfect place to relax and unwind. The staff could not be nicer or more attentive. They went out of their way to entertain our kids, make sure we were comfortable and taken care of, etc. Food was delicious. I wish we could have stayed longer. It's only about 20 minutes to Liberia airport.

Nice gated place. Two apartments below, two above. We didn’t hear our neighbors, which was nice. Really close to the beach but you need to follow forest paths to get there faster. Lots of monkeys and iguanas around. Playa Hermosa is a much quieter beach town than many others, and we like it that way. The bigger hotel Villa de Sueno on the corner has good (though overpriced) food and music several nights a week.
