"The property manager and staff are lovely. Everything else was underwhelming. It was hard to locate and there was a locked gate with no instructions for how to get in. The property looked nice from the photos but the images did not accurately represent the small, dark rooms and the fact that it’s a cluster of little studio motel rooms. It has the feel of a fixer upper motor lodge. It has tons of potential; just still needs work and wasn’t at all what we were led to believe we were renting. It’s...

"Only getting one star because I can’t rate a ZERO. We sent a message letting them know we had just landed (first time Costa Rica visitors) and instantly got back a message saying our booking was cancelled and refunded. So 7:30pm, in a new country, finding last minute accommodations for 3 was an adventure. "

10/10 Excellent

T Loft at Playa Hermosa was an amazing experience for me. It was my first time traveling to Costa Rica alone and I was a bit nervous before the trip but that all went away as soon as I arrived.
