Best place ever
The time we spent at Guanacaste Lodge was GREAT! The staff was AMAZING. AnnaMaria in charge of the property, was so kind and professional. She made our stay extra special and handled things so well. Our kids loved the pool, playing soccer and hanging out with other kids. The property was perfectly located. Gorgeous Flamingo beach 5 min drive away and best grocery store ever next door and a incredible pizza place down the street. We had shaded ares to do yoga and or work our laptops outside. Our place was left impeccable after each cleaning. On top of all this, it was very affordable. We would definitely go back.

Ok with rain, better if sunny n dry.
Rain rain rain so pool was closed and grounds partially flooded. If warm sunny n dry would be very nice property. The staff was very accommodating to get hairdryer and hot pot to make coffee on room. Breakfast was very good, fruit, eggs, beans rice juice coffee toast.

Excellent for the price, but there is the same breakfast every day and it is slightly further from the beach than what I originally believed.

This hotel has a quaint and comfortable feel. The staff were very kind and the atmosphere was friendly and had a nice family vibe. The pool was well maintained and the breakfast was perfect. We did wish there was a blanket on our beds as they were made up with only a sheet set. Otherwise it was a very pleasant stay!

The proprietor of Guanacaste Lodge is amazing! She absolutely made us feel the love and kindness that Costa Rica is known for. We stayed on our first night and first visit to the country and could not have been more pleased. Don't let the parking and construction sway you. The property is clean and rooms very comfortable!

The staff was very friendly. Accommodations were clean and the grounds well maintained. The pool was excellent. Location is within walking distance to the beach. I did rent a golf cart to visit other beaches that were a little further away. One of the best meals I had was at a roadside soda. All in all, highly recommend.
