“Very, very basic”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed at hotel Arena y Sol for one night while travelling along the Costa Rican coast. I had chosen the hotel based on price and it's appearance on their website. The reality turned out to be quite disappointing. My room was a tiny space, barely larger than the bed in it. It had a small tv and a very noisy A/C unit. Bathroom was very small, too...and shower had only cold water. However, WiFi Internet was very fast. The water in the hotel pool was dirty. There is a restaurant, but I did not see anybody eat there. There is also a small market on the grounds of the hotel. That is where I bought my food and drinks. Generally I am not picky about hotels, but in this case I'd rather have spent 10$ more for a nicer and bigger room.

“Great for the Price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 June 2009

I planned to stay here for a night or two and ended up staying for a week. It's right on the "main drag" across from the bus stop so it's very convenient for day trips. There is internet service (6 or 7) computers and free wireless and air conditioning/TV/Phone in the rooms(local calls were free...my phone was broken, but I was allowed access to another from an empty room) There is an attached restaurant and supermarket, and coffee was ready every morning at 5 am when I woke up. The employees are great. Ask for low season rates...if you are on a budget (or not) you cant go wrong with this place. All is pura vida here.
