El Faro Containers Beach Hotel

Close to shopping, the beach and , restaurants.

The best thing is that it is very close to the National Park. It serves a good breakfast although I’d change the juice for a natural juice, not from concentrate. I was there during a weekend so they had live music on Saturday which it was nice. The staff was very polite and helpful. The rooms are small but they are ok. The restaurant has a nice view, specially at sunset. Wear a repellent for mosquitoes everywhere you go.

Great view, clean room, delicious breakfast included, safe parking and very nice staff. Will be back! Oh, and location is perfect, walking distance from the National Park, restaurants, and beach!

My sister and I traveled for the first time to Costa Rica and chose this hotel for the location(next door to the national park and beach). It's a smallish hotel made from recycled shipping containers. Do not let this dissuade you. It was very cool, well thought out and plenty of room. The pool and the rooms look over the ocean. We saw more wildlife from our balcony than in the national park! Toucans, monkeys(watch out), giant blue butterflies, deer, and macaws. The clue is to slow down and be aware and enjoy where you are. The best part of this hotel is the staff. They are kind, thoughtful, and took such great care of us! JC and the restaurant folks were so kind and fun. It was always nice to come back to the restaurant and have a familiar face. The grounds crew always said hello and bye and would wave. They drove us and our luggage up(up in an understatement) to our building in a golf cart. Life saver! And our housekeeper made sure we were well stocked with coffee. This little act meant more than one would imagine. My sister who has chronic health problems has a difficult time eating and drinking anything. The one thing that makes her feel better for a few minutes is a cup of coffee. Roxanne noticed we were drinking quite a bit of coffee and even if we didn't need our room cleaned she made sure we had coffee pods. Such wonderful acts of kindness that I know I can't include them all. But thank you for making this trip unforgettable. I'll be back
