Location- between Playa Carrillo and Samara beaches. Away (but not too far) from town so it was quiet and peaceful. Beautiful rooms and common areas. Pool was perfect! Excellent breakfast in the open air restaurant. Don’t miss the Saturday market in Samara! Best part- meeting and talking with Loyda at the front desk. She was friendly, helpful, professional at her job, and very easy to chat with! To learn more about a local’s life there really enriched our trip to Costa Rica!

Not one thing.

We were made welcome upon arrival and the reception staff and management were always available for advice and bookings. Friendly and attentive restaurant staff. Room was cleaned daily and the bed was very comfortable. Location was excellent, private balcony to observe and hear wildlife. Walking distance to 2 beaches and a 5 minute drive into town. The lovely pool area provided a relaxing environment after time at the beach. Good breakfast each day and the chef cooked a delicious dinner for us using a couple of tuna we caught on a fishing trip.The cleaning staff were friendly and very efficient. We had a great stay and would like to return.

Nothing

The service was top notch is every aspect. Stuffs were welcoming and always always eager to help! Nalla was kind enough to offer us juices everyday we were at the pool. The stay was so much peaceful and relaxing mostly owing to the stuff. We wanted a beachfront hotel. However felt glad we chose this as it was close to both the beaches: samara and Carrillo. Will come back again!

The hotel restaurant was fantastic and the atmosphere felt like a very calm retreat. The staff went above and beyond and made us feel like family. The beach is only a 5 minute walk from the hotel and the trail had beautiful trees and monkeys along the way. The loft was roomy, very clean, and the beds were extremely comfortable. It’s a fantastic hidden gem.

No complaints! We loved everything about Hotel Montelaguna and will definitely come back.

Good quality hotel in quiet location and walking distance from quiet beaches. Staff were very friendly.

Really liked the property but would expect a more extensive breakfast in a hotel of this quality. The fruit juice wasn’t fresh and there could have been additional buffet fruit selection

The staff was wonderful, especially Xinia who consistently went over and above and always addressed our needs and wants. The owner Don Mario was super friendly and attentive. The housekeeping staff was very flexible when we wanted to hang in our room in the mornings. The food was very good and had a good variety and always fresh fish, veggies and fruit and reasonably priced. The free breakfast was plentiful and delicious.

-everything was ok; -the staff was attentive and supportive; -quite good breakfast;

-the location is near the main road so can be noisy from 6 am till 9–10 am. -i requested a quiet room but they gave us a room right near the street;

Close to the beach.

Noisy traffic behind the guest rooms. Cockroaches in bathroom, lamp shades broken, remote for air conditioner didn’t work even after we put “our” batteries in it. Kitchen and wait staff are “not” friendly. Breakfast was ok, dried out piece of bread, eggs ok. Asked for splenda for coffee never did get it.

The breakfast every morning was great. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our kids loved the beautiful swimming pool—we spent a good part of our stay poolside! The beds were very comfortable and we appreciated the housekeeping coming daily to tidy things up for us.

We stayed in a loft suite and the stairs were very creaky. We didn’t rent a car so we had to call a taxi to get to and from town, but if we’d had our own transportation the location would have been perfect. We did walk to both nearby beaches which was convenient but a bit dangerous with young kids to be walking on a busy road.

Room was great and the staff was wonderful. Breakfast was great too

I would have liked to be closer to the city
