Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was good. Location is remote, about an hour from Jaco or Manuel Antonio. Getting there requires a 2 mile drive down a gravel road that has potholes. The beach is overall nice and clean. It’s isolated so only a handful of guests from the hotel were on the same stretch of beach. The rooms are cramped and worn out. Bathroom is tiny and grimy. Beds small and uncomfortable.

Stunning location and clean property directly on the beach with nice extras in the pool and gaming area. Property is out of date and is about 20 min down a dirt road with very poor WiFi and nothing else around. If you’re looking for a resort this isn’t it, but if you are looking for a clean place where you’ll have the beautiful beach to yourself, it’s a good choice.

The beach chairs have rust, the shower basically dripped. The room was just ok. The bar tender was beyond slow with only me there. The gardens aren't maintained. The beach is remote and actually quite beautiful. No chairs though. The breakfasts was ok. Very ordinary. Waitress pleasant as was the front desk. Would we go back. No. To the area. Yes.

Lugar sencillo en la playa, excelente ubicación y tranquilo. La habitación sencilla pero limpia. Hace falta mantenimiento en las instalaciones. El servicio de los meseros muy bueno, buena actitud y con ganas de complacer el cliente. La comida en la noche es sabroso, buena cantidad y precios decentes. El desayuno limitado y falta de flexibilidad de la cocina... natilla - no hay, salsa Lizano - no hay, pan - no hay, huevos fritos - no se puede (insistiendo y ofreciendo a pagar si se puede) La playa muy linda, tranquila, con sombra y algunas sillas. Las piscinas bien con bastantes sillas y mesas (mantenimiento!) y con opciones de sombra. Hay que llevar paños para la playa/piscina , secadora de pelo, shampoo, etc. Se puede usar caja fuerte en la recepción. Un lugar para descansar y conociendo las limitaciones uno se acomoda, lleva las cosas y lo pasa bien.

Peaceful beautiful place

We loved our stay at La Isla. We had planned to stay only one night but ended up staying two because it was so nice. Very peaceful, the staff was very nice, the beach was beautiful, the pool and hammocks were nice, and the food was great. The mattresses are not great. Would definitely stay again.

Decent for price!

Cool, remote location. Right across from the beach. There are tons of hammocks in front of the property in the shady, and on the beach side - white Adirondack type chairs for sitting. Rooms were quite outdated - beds were terrible. Felt like we were at sleep away camp. Mattress felt like it was from the 90s - we felt every single spring!!! Decent overall for the price. The restaurant was lovely - staff very friendly. Free breakfast was good too!

El hotel se encuentra bastante retirado del centro de Parrita e inmerso en la naturaleza de la zona, lo cual lo hace un lugar muy relajante.

Excelente para disfrutar en familia

Vale la pena lo largo del lugar. El hotel es sencillo, pero muy acogedor, todo el menú es muy bueno. La playa del hotel es buena poco bravo el mar, pero se disfruta mucho a la orilla, también carca se pueden visitar otras playas. Para ir con familias o amigos esta muy bien.

Buena opción frente a la playa

En esta ocasión no andábamos buscando lujo, el Hotel la Isla es sencillo pero acogedor la ubicación es excelente frente a la playa la cual es hermosa, limpia y solitaria apta para relajarse y desconectarse de todo, realizar fogatas por la noche y ver las estrellas, sus jardines de palmeras frente a la playa son hermosos con hamacas para descansar, Las villas están equipadas con lo básico para una estancia familiar. El hotel cuenta con bar y restaurante donde la comida es muy buena, los desayunos están incluidos y son deliciosos. Buena atención por parte del personal. El mar es muy limpio pero no es apto para nadar por su fuerte oleaje y corrientes, sin embargo se disfruta en la orilla especialmente en marea baja a los niños les encantó y las mascotas también lo van a disfrutar. El hotel tiene una buena ubicación con bastante naturaleza (flora y fauna), queda como a 20min de centro de Parrita donde puedes comprar todo lo necesario antes de llegar al hotel porque no hay nada cercano. La carretera es de lastre y polvorienta sin mayor problemas se llega en vehículo. Falta un poco de remodelación y mantenimiento en el hotel especialmente en el área de piscinas, pero en general la pasamos muy bien y esperamos volver pronto.
