Alvaro, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Poor service
The room was given to us 2 hours after the check in time and our children had to wait at the lobby for the room keys. I chose this hotel for the pool so my siblings could enjoy the place and we did lost half a day. When I asked for compensation, they offered a late check out until 1:30 pm which I usually get anyway for my membership status. Anyway, NOT HAPPY

Loved the staff- very friendly and helpful. The property was a bit run down, but they were fixing as we were there and looks to be improving daily! Margaritas restaurant was excellent! Great good & wonderful friendly staff. Great family hotel - all rooms central to the pool area.

Hotel Amapola is a great place over Jaco Beach. Just perfect for families with small kids. The pool is great and it has amenities for the small ones and for adults. Rooms are excellent and just in front of the pool. Mexican restaurant beside the hotel is great! Ask for the Tacos for Share (pa’ compartir)

The property is nice but need to be updated a little. The pool is amazing they have a game room cool restaurant is open 24 hours. Breakfast is the same everyday. The hotel is like a 10 min walk to Jaco Way and the beach
Jalita, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was excellent and the property was beautiful. Perhaps the best resort I've stayed at in Costa Rica. My only complaint was that service was slow. Check in took forever. Service at the pool bar was painfully slow.
Bruce, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was clean and nice but a little out of date. Definitely liked that they were pet friendly. Only bad thing was no internet in the room we stayed in at the back of the facility. Restaurant is fantastic.
Deray, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Not a 4 stars hotel, most likely a 3 stars. Is limited, prices are affourdable, pool is open til 5am in the morning, music must go down by 10 pm. Parking is limited. Hotel is not beach front but is some minutes away from it
Adrian, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We are a party of 6 that stayed in 3 Junior Suites. Rooms are nice and service is good. Property urgently needs updating and repairs. According to the information displayed in Expedia, Breakfast was supposed to be free but, the hotel staff said that it was not included in the rate. So we had no complimentary breakfast.

The power and water were both off for several hours on Friday. No compensation of any sort was offered. We were forced to go to a bar so we would not have to sit in our room in the dark
