Boutique Hotel Las Cascadas

Beautiful property in a stunning location. Loved every minute.

Nothing

On the edge of Quepos with amazing surrounds - tall trees where we were lucky enough to spot hummingbirds, macaws and a toucan. Our apartment felt more like a little Casa than a hotel room with a well equipped kitchen and nicely decorating living area. The kids were in the room and we were on the sofabed (perfectly comfy). We had great afternoons in the pool and the breakfasts were delicious. We ended up driving with the kids but would only be a 10-15 min walk to the marina or into Quepos. Staff were helpful and accommodating.

No issues - because we were sleeping in the lounge we could have done with another blind but we hung up a couple of towels and were fine.

Views and pool

Over priced drinks and food

The staff were helpful and pleasant. The tree top view was good.

We arrived a 1pm but the room was not ready (which was fine as check in is 3pm) and we went to get some lunch, returning at 3pm. However the room was still not ready and we had to wait another 30 mins or so. The room had not been cleaned on the next day when we returned to get ready for dinner at 4pm, although we had been out since 7am. Shortly after we got back housekeeping showed up and wanted to clean the room which was totally inconvenient. The coffee set up in the room was on top of the fridge, where there is no plug for it without unplugging the TV or the fridge. The jug on the coffee machine was not the correct one so didn't work very well and getting coffee out of it was a bit hit and miss. We did not have breakfast on the first morning as we were going out too early but breakfast on the second day was poor. The choice is minimal (gallo pinto, eggs and toast or pancakes) and although both the gallo pinto and eggs on toast offered 'eggs to your liking' poached eggs were not possible, only scrambled or fried. The toast was three slices of stale french stick which seemed to have been 'toasted' in a slightly greasy pan- some somewhere between stale and fried bread. The parking is limited and so when it is full, finding space, manoeuvring and getting in/out of the car is challenging. The walk up to the room is advertised as slightly challenging, but the reality of the walk is quite different to the 18 steps mentioned and the health and safety hazards of wires trailing across the steps didn't help. The dinner offering was limited to burgers and pizzas.
