Kristian has been very helpful in making our stay in Costa Rica the best possible. He gave us many great recommandations of very affordable activities and restaurants. The accommodation is great. It has AC, a free to use washing machine (hard to find!), a fridge/freezer and everything one might need to cook.

I liked how close this place was to many restaurants and the beach (where you can see a wonderful sunset view). The owner was very friendly and gave me advice on my bicycle trip going south.

YES, you must go there. Great place with lots of activities. Travis took us out in the nice old life boat 'Nicoya Queen'. Went to the prisoner island and Travis made the best lobster we've ever had. Thanks :) The breakfast is excellent. Nice traditional Tico breakfast or best: Travis' special egg benedict! Not to forget: You can also borrow canoes and go on a trip yourself. Thanks to Travis and his staff at La Perla Nigro :) Annett & Søren, Denmark

We didn't actually stay at Hotel Mar y Mar as its location, in a very dirty and seemingly deprived area. We would not have felt comfortable staying in there

Excellent value guest house in central sea front location. Vanessa the friendly host treated me to delicious coffee in the morning. Extremely comfortable bed and bathroom was right next to bedroom. Very classy and clean. Highly recommended for a stay in this underrated pleasant and peaceful untouristed seaside town.

The location is great if you want to take the ferry boat. Although Google maps showed us a lication far up the street the locals could tell us where it was and we found it imediatly. The receptionist was very kind and we could park the car inside. The beds are very comfortable.

This was a transit place for us as we wanted to stop for the night before moving on to Quepos. Orlando, the owner, is a VERY nice man. He was waiting for us when we got off the fairy. This facility is literally 2 minutes from the ferry terminal, so the location is great if you are in transit (absolutely not for a long stay). This place is very small, but it was very clean and offered a great shower, and a confortable bed. It also provides air conditioning which is a must, and a small fridge.

A good place to stay before or after taking the ferry. It has a nice pool, spacious rooms, and secure private parking. It's safe and has a motel-like feel. Conveniently close to the beach with plenty of nearby restaurants. Plus, there's a fridge in the room.
