AI Summary
Conveniently located near the beach, with comfortable rooms and friendly staff. Guests appreciated the delicious breakfast options and well-maintained facilities, but some found the neighborhood to be too quiet.

We had an incredible stay at hotel Cantarana. J-J and Georgia at the front desk were incredibly helpful and kind. The morning restaurant staff were always a delight to start the day with, and Mario made sure we had a good time and meal in the evening. The rooms are wonderfully clean, quiet (including the AC) and private. The food is delicious and a nice variety. We loved how close were to the beach, which is quiet and devoid of too many tourists.

Just left after 3 night stay at Cantarana. Loved the customer service and very wonderful communication. I appreciate the communication even before I arrived, made everything easier and smooth. Room was spacious and clean but my only complaint was the fact that I was below the restaurant (room 5) and noise from above began before 7:30am daily . I Loved the private entrance to the beach and the private 3 hour set up they offer for $35. Dinner and breakfast were both good and overall I was very pleased.

It was for my son’s wedding. Everything was wonderful. It was probably the best experience that I have had in a long time. The rooms were great! Included air conditioning, soundproof walls, very comfortable bed, refrigerator, stove top, microwave, coffee maker, expresso maker, dishes, utensils, and extremely clean. The staff was friendly and over accommodating, prepared to meet your needs and insure satisfaction. Andrea is a gem. She went over and aboard her job description, doing any and everything that was need to make sure that the wedding party was happy. The beach was less than 2 minutes walking distance, directly across from the hotel. I did not want to leave. I LOVED IT! Will be returning. Forgot about the cost. I spent 7 nights and 6 days and did not break the bank.

I loved this hotel. The room was basic, but the atmosphere overall was fabulous. Great small pool, easy walk to one of the most beautiful private beaches. The restaurant had fantastic food and drinks- Mario was amazing. If I come back to Costa Rica I will not be staying anywhere else. It was magical!

This place is a gem! The restaurant: We went there twice. Louis and Angie were so kind. They work really hard and do their best. The food is fresh and really good. Thanks to the cook! The ambiance is relaxed, the music is not too loud and the place is beautiful. Hotel: I loved my time at the Cantarana. This place is beautiful and very calm. The staff is helpful if there is a problem. They are very friendly too. The pool is beautiful but it's better maintained in the brother hotel El Maglore and there are less mosquitoes over there too.

Nice small hotel with 5 rooms, small swimming pool and restaurant. Room upstairs was nice with 1 double and 1 single bed, refrigerator, A/C, TV. Nice patio with table, chairs and hammock. The beach is a few minutes' walk. Nice for surfing and swimming. Very warm water in the ocean. Yoga class 3x/week for fee. Breakfast was not incl. but available for $9. There is other 3 restaurants and small store in walking distance.

When we arrived the hotel was empty. There were no people to help or welcome us, which felt a bit odd. The room was worn down and dirty. Even the coffee cup was dirty (see pictures) We therefore wanted to shorten our stay, but the the staff was completely unhelpful and started arguing with us instead. We therefore decided to book another hotel eve though this hotel would not shorten our stay.

Perfectly located by the beach and within walking distance to sev restaurants. Nice pool and uncrowded. Restaurant upstairs serves great food (breakfast, lunch, dinner w vegetarian options) w happy hour from 4-6. Managed by Mario who is great. Hotel staff are kind, accommodating, and prompt in their response on Whatsapp.
