I had booked our last night here before returning home to the UK. We were due to arrive about 5pm, and not leave until 24 hours later as we had a late flight, hence not wanting a hotel right next to the airport. I had already figured out a few options for things we could do if we wanted to be busy on our travel day, however the hotel did say we could stay and use the pool if we checked out by noon. I arranged for an airport pick up with the hotel at $25 (and they were very responsive to my queries) and right enough, when we arrived from Puerto Jimenez there was a lady with my name on the board. She took us to a very smart (and in excellent condition)airport air conditioned minivan and drove us to the hotel. She told us the hotel would liaise with her for the travel back the next day. Our room was…. Well I guess it was a correct reflection in the pictures but it was awfully dark because it was on the lower floor, and first impressions were not helped by a very nosey guest having a good peer into our room as we unpacked so the curtains were promptly closed, reducing any little light there was coming in. Talk about rude! But not the hotel’s fault. Anyway, it was rustic but the price was very reasonable and we had been spoilt by our previous locations. That said, it was clean and spacious and the bed was comfy enough. The face cloth and bath towels were soft and thick. The hand towels…not sure why the hotel let the side down with them but they were thin and frayed and just generally best used as dusters. Very odd. That said, the wonderful shower pressure made me forgive them as it was great. Not so great was the shower rail about to come off from the wall (but it didn’t!), nor the noise from the motorbikes in the street. Never heard any noise of aircraft flying overhead. Restaurant staff were friendly and overall we were happy enough but disappointed when the bill came as the 3 glasses of wine which should have been $7 a glass were charged at $10. Overall, an overcharge of $9 which we just couldn’t be bothered to challenge to leave a sour taste in our mouths after a wonderful 3 week trip. But annoying nonetheless. If it was because the wine we chose was more expensive, then fine but the staff member should have explained that to us at the time of ordering, and indeed there was no option for a glass of wine other than at $7. Anyway, not a big deal except that he could have ordered a bottle for less! Breakfast was….not great. Enough said. But we stayed by the pool all day (hubby decided he couldn’t be bothered to go gallivanting) and it was nice and peaceful and enjoyable. We were able to use a shower room to wash before our flight home so that was handy and they stored our bags away for us after we checked out at noon. Lunch was..our best meal. Huge portions and tasty, lucky for my husband as he got to eat what I couldn’t manage, and even luckier as we didn’t get our dinner on the flight until past midnight due to a flight delay! We orde
