Atrapasuenos Dreamcatcher Hotel

Good location

I would recommend to clean better

We absolutely loved our stay at Atrapasuenios. The family suit had 2 rooms with easy access to the patio and the pool. Convenient location close to thdd we beach and the town.

The room was horrible Dirty, old pillows, old sheets In general it was a horrible experience

Great place as shown in photos. Amazing location, near beach, and restaurants.

I really liked a AtrapaSueños

Amazing oasis

Nice close-to the beach hotel, with swimming pool to take a dip. It might be better called hostel, than hotel. Food is delicious and prepared at the moment.

While there were a few hiccups when I arrived a little early for check in, everything was good after! I’d stay there again!

This hotel is very small, which I prefer. I stayed in one of the triple balcony rooms which had a lovely vaulted ceiling and private balcony with hammock. The room itself was set up nicely with a built-in shelving system for our stuff and a large bathroom tiled in natural terracotta and mosaic tiles. It was clean by Costa Rican standards.. Atrapasuenos offers a parking lot in back and a shortcut entrance towards the beach right in front of one of the best surfing spots and some tidepools. Breakfast is served in a covered courtyard, but served in Tico time so don't go if you're in a rush! Wi-fi was unreliable unfortunately. The hotel is located very close to the popular Banana Beach restaurant and you can hear their music which was kind of annoying. Also you can hear other guests through the walls. The location is right off the main road which is convenient, but is very dusty during dry season. The staff who I communicated with were very friendly and helpful in recommending places to go and setting up some transportation!

Very nice and cozy rooms. The manager Ricardo was very polite and helpful all the time.

One of the better Costa Rica hotels I've stayed in, despite some glitches. Breakfast was good and service courteous. Had some technical difficulties, but all worked out. The convenient location can't be beat if you want to be in Santa Teresa.

Staff has attitude...safe don't work...no one in the office after 10pm...linen in bad shape and smelling...shower has no water pressure...shower towels are as bad as you can imagine...do not pay for breakfast...200 yards you will find breakfast twice as big for $7 ...pool water ....bad...no telephone inside the rooms...they are eco-friendly so would change bath towels and linen every 3 days !!!! Shall I say more? 2 stars would be generous ...please consider this review

Been a disabled combat veteran from the US.ARMY I can say I lived in places where you just can't be picky. That said a hotel is not a hotel if they do not have something simple as a telephone interview the rooms to request for help in case of emergencies or simply to request a wake up call. This place is sadly a sack of lies Trust me and thank me later ...if you still can cancel do so. Always request a receipt for what you pay for in a hotel it's the law and it must have the business name with Cédula Jurídica = Tax ID receipt When you made a reservation ask first if they have a telephone interview every room, request a tax ID receipt and ask how old the hotel is... Ask if the safe actually works, if breakfast is at least from 7am to 9:30am. If they change towels everyday and linen too!!! Not every 3 days !!!! By far this is the worst stay ever Trust me I am a Soldier who is not picky but I have a wife that is. Bottom line this is a 2 star hostel and not a 3 star hotel. They take pride saying that Americans never ask for a government control invoice and that must be changed. The owner is not an American much less an American Indian!!!! They are from Colombia and the way this seems it can easily misguided you to brake the Costa Rican laws ...money laundry is a matter where many people do shady business...not saying this is the case. Trust me this is not a hotel. Next time you made a reservation you must request a invoice that has the Cédula Jurídica, they must have a phone ..

Great place! You can walk to almost everything. Just don't expect strong water pressure. Will definitely stay here again!

We were expecting a bit more based on the reviews.

We had a very nice stay)) The staff was very friendly and helpful.

We really enjoyed staying there. The location is great and also the staff.

When we pulled up to the hotel we were not expecting what was behind the walls. It was a beautiful, serene oasis. We were greeted in a very friendly matter and shown to our beautiful rooms. it is a small hotel and you feel like it is your private getaway not seeing many other people.

We had a rough go of it here. We made reservations through hotels.com, which said free cancellation until two weeks prior to arrival. But after making reservations, I got an email stating we must pay in one week a 50% deposit to keep our reservation. Upon arrival we could not get inside, as the front door and entry gate were locked and nobody to let us in for 5-10 minutes. Then our room could not be secured because the sliding door to our patio area was extremely difficult to lock and open. Then we discovered the large sliding window to the bathroom had a broken latch, which would have made it easy for some to enter. And finally our lockbox didn’t work either. After over an hour we were offered a different room, which ended up being the room that was more in-line with what we originally reserved. Breakfast was okay, but more on the minimum side. The beach is beautiful. The city is a DUST PIT with no infrastructure (dusty rock roads, few sidewalks, open sewers). Considering one must drive several hours on very poor roads to get here, there is a very low payback for your effort (unless you crave surfing and dust).
