Hotel Guanacaste Lodge

My wife and I usually "go big" when we are on vacation. Instead, this time we wanted to stay at a place that is operated and visited by the locals. While it did not have all the amenities of a resort or hotel, it was very peaceful and the management and staff were very kind, gracious and helpful. The second night of our stay my wife had a minor medical emergency. Being unfamiliar with the area and having poor Spanish speaking skills, I wasn't sure what could be done. The lodge management jumped into action by contacting transportation and a urgent care clinic, where my wife received the care she needed. They waited up for us to return in the middle of the night as the were truly concerned about our situation. Not only did the Lodge management and staff save our vacation, they continued to go above and beyond expectations for the remainder of the week. Thank You Guanacaste Lodge!

Very nice and helpful staff. Close to a store for essentials and property was great. Shampoo would be helpful for guests.

Nice, homely facility. The lady in charge was kind and friendly. Room was spacious, clean. Large wooden walk-in closet was a nice touch, gave a bit of vintage vibe. Breakfast was good. Large parking area. Easy walk to the beach. A supermarket next door was an added advantage.

We enjoyed the breakfast they prepared for us. Beautiful property. AC in room was great.

Great location, very close to the beautiful flamingo beach. The ground is nice and not too noisy. The front desk lady is nice and helpful. The room is spacious, AC works well. Bathroom and TV connection could use improvement. The hotel is on a very busy street with no sidewalk. We don't feel safe to walk. There're construction and farm next to the hotel. So there are flies on breakfast time. Breakfast is not tasty.

Cute little place if you aren't looking for anything fancy. Short 7 min walk to flamingo marina beach. The breakfast provided was great.

Lodge was very clean and quiet. Especially quiet at night. The pool was very clean and the grounds were well taken care of. My husband and I felt safe and comfortable. Air conditioning worked great in the room. The lodge is a family run business and there are many loving and kind touches. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and healthy. Located within driving distance to many beaches and local restaurants. Would absolutely stay there again! Bring beach towel, they do only have towels for bathing.

Good value, close to restaurants, grocery store, helpful and accommodating hotel staff.

As we arrived at the nondescript entrance to the lodge, my my first thought was what did I get myself into, what a dump. But that was just the parking lot. After walking through the gate I was met by the sight of a very nice courtyard with a beautiful swimming pool and an open air, covered dining area. The room was spacious and well kept. The owners were gracious and although the mom spoke very little English her young teen son spoke excellent English with barely a hint of an accent. The included breakfast was delicious and was prepared fresh when we arrived at the dining area. There are at least three good restaurants within walking distance as well as a store next door. This was a very inexpensive hotel but was a very pleasant stay. I strongly recommend it. It is an awesome value.
