This was my 7th year at El Milagro, and it is showing it's age! For the first time, I met the owner and asked him how old the hotel was. I was expecting him to answer 30-40 years old and was shocked when he said it was built 20 years ago. The problems we had overshadowed the great location and... More

After staying in nice hotels (both simple and luxurious, all booked by our travel agency) we ended our vacation in Costa Rica at El Milagro. We expected a lot after seeing the site, the hotel was also recommended in the Rough Guide. But the good days of this hotel are clearly over. We were met by a friendly but strange... More

Since our first visit the hotel, rooms and grounds have greatly deteriorated. The first room we were given didn't have a working lock on... More

This hotel is a great find in so many ways. The room were comfortable enough for my family of 4. It has all of the ammenities that you would expect: AC, Cable TV, etc. In fact, my girls did not want to leave and we extended our vacation there by two days. The room was clean and I did not... More

The hotel was chosen for us by our travel company. Since it was quite cheap we didn´t expect much. Upon arrival we were devistated by the condition of the room. It was dirty, smelly and banged up. After dinner in a nice restaurant we were greeted by thousands of ants (we didn´t have any food - so that could not... More
