Very clean and modern; a bit of an oasis in a rather economically distressed town. Excellent shower/bathroom. Very friendly and helpful staff, very good restaurant/bar, and a very nice pool.

Good choices for breakfast and nice lunch/bar menu. The bathroom was small and had some old/broken fixtures. The room was good sized and clean, and the staff was friendly and competent.

The room was wonderful, the pool was really nice and the staff was extremely nice.
The only issue we had was that the bathroom's sewer system was very smelly. We got some air fresheners because it was very intense but otherwise we lived staying there

Nice and clean Hotel, great staff. But they don’t have safe boxes and closets in the room, not even hangers for the wet towels after a shower. Please install them immediately

Hotel was only ok. One thin blanket on the bed, no extra toilet paper. Staff was nice. Puntarenas is very sketchy and i wouldn't suggest walking at night. Beach side was covered in trash and the guys trimming the grass left any trash. Not anything to do.

Good for a rest
The staff was great, very friendly. We were happy to find Hotel Cayuga as we were passing through the area so we could rest. The rooms could use more counter space, somewhere to put luggage/purse/etc. There is no counter space. Rooms are snug but AC works great which is always good. There’s a small market right next door which is very handy.
