Guanacaste Lodge

Hôtel bien situé, beau jardin, chambre propre

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.

The staff was great. The room was comfortable and reasonable.

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!

Arrival: the parking lot is right in front of reception with only one entrance making it easy to find. The Check-in: The check-in was smooth. The lady {whom I believe is the owner} was very polite and walked us to our room and made sure we were content. The Room: The rooms are small but they have a functioning air conditioner which I was very grateful for. The place also comes with a fridge and wifi but the wifi is very hit or miss and we weren’t too far from the receptionist office. The showers functioned as should and really nothing much to say about it. do note that this place does not come with hair products, or body soap but it does come with hand soap bar which I suppose you can use for the shower too. Location: There’s a laundromat, a supermarket, and a lot of restaurants nearby which are very much walking distance but be mindful there are no sidewalks. The beach is about a 5-7 minute drive. Staff: I’ve only spoke to the receptionist. There is another lady there who seems to do the cleaning and walks around with a sour face. I greeted her one time and she looked at me dismissively. I don’t know what her deal was nor do I care to find it but she made us feel like she wasn’t happy having us and that’s where I knocked the 1 star off the rating. Breakfast: The breakfast is simple and more-or-less the same daily — scrambled eggs, rice with beans, 2 small slices of fruits, a small slice of plantain, and bread. All in all, good for short stays and nothing more unfortunately

Bonito lugar. Educadas las personas y siempre confiables.

The staff here was great. We had a wonderful experience.

Great experience

Very comfortable, clean accommodations. Rooms are somewhat dated with decor but really enjoyed our stay. Our only accommodations in Costa Rica with air conditioning - we were so grateful! Lovely staff. Delicious complimentary breakfast.

Stayed for 4 nights with my daughter the breakfast was good, the staff are friendly they always keep our room clean, yes there are ants but not scary i like they way they give us breakfast and looks like we are family, i rented a car and car was very safe.

There was only one plug-in in the whole room and it was far from the beds so we had to ask for an extension cord to plug in our CPAP and other personal items. There were bugs in the bathroom in the sheets and throughout the room. There were only two pillows on each bed and only one minimal sheet. We ended us leaving one night early.

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.

The staff are kind and friendly. The pool is warm! The rooms are large and having a small fridge is a great feature. The included breakfast was filling and delicious. The place is not fancy, but it’s clean and very quiet. I enjoyed my stay.

C'est un endroit confortable, pas luxueux. Très abordable et bien situé à 5 mins en voiture de la plage flamingo. Il y a une épicerie directement à coté de l'hotel.

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.

Nice hotel staff and good breakfast with fruit, eggs, rice & beans, plantain, coffee and juice. Clean rooms and swimming pool.

The time we spent at Guanacaste Lodge was GREAT! The staff was AMAZING. AnnaMaria in charge of the property, was so kind and professional. She made our stay extra special and handled things so well. Our kids loved the pool, playing soccer and hanging out with other kids. The property was perfectly located. Gorgeous Flamingo beach 5 min drive away and best grocery store ever next door and a incredible pizza place down the street. We had shaded ares to do yoga and or work our laptops outside. Our place was left impeccable after each cleaning. On top of all this, it was very affordable. We would definitely go back.

This place was lovely! And the breakfast was delicious.

Pool and comfortable bed

Wonderful stay. Hosts were so helpful. Nice tipico breakfast.
