"Don’t even think about staying here It started bad with the digital key system to our room when we arrive late at night that didn’t work The grounds are rundown. The Wi-Fi is worthless Breakfast was so bad we skipped it the second morning. They served something that looked like orange juice, but I doubt it had any nutritional value. The milk served with coffee is not regular milk. My partner felt like a coffee late in the afternoon as is a Costa Rica tradition and she was charged six dollars. This place is no Starbucks. To top it off on Saturday night, we went into Hako. He came back around midnight to find the gate closed locked. There is a digital entry device. It was nonfunctional. We were not told the gates locked at 9 PM. No one answered the phone. No one answered or messages. I tried to look for another hotel in the area and they were all booked so I pulled the car back in front of the gate and slept in the car for three hours until someone noticed, I was heavy on the horn trying to get attention. I’ve stated other hotels in the area and can recommend almost all of them for a return visit, but this place, forget it OK now I’m not a dog hater, but when I sat down for a cup of coffee on the second morning, it seemed like every guest had a dog. I suppose you could shave this Hotel permit itself as pet friendly OK that’s cool, but when one starts barking and they all start barking. I didn’t dare finish my coffee."

"La Dolce Vita has got an excellent position, first line on the wonderful beach of Esterillos Oeste. Our room had a confortable bef, efficient air condition, satellite tv, hot water shower and also a kichen with refri. The place is quiet, the breakfast tasty and the service simple but friendly. We soent a nice week at a correct price. "
