I stayed in the Place for 8 nights, with my friend in the last week of October. The hotel was wonderful, very close to the Playa Carmen. It was getting some remodel and our room was not available but we got a better deal:) The Aftrican Bungalow, what a treat!!! The Bungalow was amazing, very spacious with extra day bed... more

The Place has a very unique design and each bungalow is individually decorated. The pool is very cool with great landscaping. The location is a short walk (5 min) from the center of town so it was great to be secluded but also close enough to walk for dinner and drinks. The staff/host was excellent, she pointed us in the... more

I did spent 2 weeks at this very nice place, which I call it's a "Bijou". The pool is outstanding! The hotel is located very near to the center of Malpais and the beach is very close. I love the rooms, which are decorated with heart and each bungalow shows up in a different style. I love little Boutique-Hotels as... more

Firstly, I'm very surprised after reading some of the other reviews. Anyway, we spent two weeks at The Place and loved it, -the service, the bungalows, the food... the works. When travelling is always nice to have someone "local" to trust. We did several "expeditions" while there, and when we asked the staff at The Place for tour recommendations we... more

This was the most expensive hotel we stayed at on our visit to Costa Rica and it was not worth the money. While the room was nicely furnished it was dusty and bug infested (we were visiting at the end of the dry season). The pool was not clean and the courtyard again was coated with a layer of dust.... more

We stayed here for 3 nights and did not enjoy the hotel at all. While the bungalows are pretty cool and have an excellent layout, they were not very clean and were run down. Mal Pais can get very dry and dusty in the warm season which we can live with providing we have a nice place to sleep at... more

We found the Place to be most relaxing and friendly for our 2 night visit. The staff were friendly and cordial the room was very nice and cleaned nicely, the pool divine and breakfasts were excellent. The grounds are very nice and airy with many birds. The AC did not seem to work but the ceiling fans were powerful and... more

We stayed at The Place for 3 nights while in Mal Pais - we were on a budget and couldn't afford one of the cabanas (we did see them and they were really nice) and had to settle on one of the smaller rooms in the main building. Since business was a little slow they gave us a great rate... more

We stayed at the hotel last month and it´s definitly¨ the place¨ to stay. They have a very friendly staff that helped us during all our trip. The rooms are really nice decorated, we stayed in a bungalow, an open room a lot like costa rican style. We talked to the owner she told us that they are going to... more
