Holiday Homes in Barranca

"Hotel Cerro Lodge Oh dear…I had a whole ecosystem in my room, and not in a good way. Constantly had medium-large ants coming into my room from the bathroom. Look - I know it’s Costa Rica, and I can handle some ants, but we’re talking about having to step on 30+ ants over the course of two days. The whole room felt like zero money has been put into it to maintain / upkeep the property. Wifi in the room was extremely slow (I ended up just using cellular data instead). Air conditioning worked well though. For the birders looking at this review, I’d recommend staying at the Tarcoles Birding Lodge next door. The best birding is done on the entrance road to Hotel Cerro Lodge and Tarcoles Birdig Lodge, so you don’t miss anything bird-wise by staying at TBL. Also, one of my birding guides said that TBL was apparently opened by a former Cerro Lodge employee. So make of that what you will"

"It was perfect "

"Pool was very enjoyable "

"La experiencia que tuvimos fue 10/10. El personal amistoso, siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Las instalaciones limpias, en perfecto estado. Tiene una ventaja enorme, está a 2 min del embarcadero del ferry. Recomendado 100%"

"This is a very strange property. There are a lot of hotels, private condominiums sharing the same facilities but having separate gated access. The common grounds, however, aren’t being looked after so well. The Selvamar section we stayed in was okay, but a bit tired now. Room was much smaller than anywhere else we stayed in Costa Rica, but it was comfortable. Breakfast was decent, but the restaurant by the main pool where we had a dinner wasn’t the best and not worth the money they charge. Two pools are kids friendly and they are of pretty decent size, but not very deep. Some other activities, like mini golf, are charged separately. There is a new high-rise apartment building buying built right by the main pool area & beach, which will look awful. I wouldn’t stay here again, because it doesn’t provide the Costa Rica experience I like, it’s more like something taken out of Benidorm, but I do understand why some might be very keen on it."

"Clean room, helpful staff, beautiful view. "

"Kitchen and apartment fully equipped. The check-in process seemed a little unusual with the website, but was easy to understand "

"Absolutely amazing hotel , very clean and beautiful. It’s so peaceful there . Food was the best I’ve had in Costa Rica - and we’ve tried a lot , but nothing beats the taste and quality of their meals . Stuff goes above and beyond to assist everyone with all needs and requests. I would love to be back there one day and highly recommend it to anyone."
