  • “The room was lovely and modern. It has a lovely pool but I had no time to use it which was a shame. It is very close to the airport. It is a very large hotel with a casino and restaurant and gym.”

  • Curuba Lodge Review score: 10

    “We loved to stay at Curuba lodge on our way from the carribean coast to the pacific coast. the cabinas are very comfortable. we enjoyed the heater in the cabin because it get's really cold during the night! the breakfast and the dinner were delicious and the staff so friendly. we hope to come back again and to stay for more than one night!”

  • Casa Escalante Hostel Review score: 9

    “Lovely, quiet hostel in safe neighbourhood. US$5 to US$12 by Uber from bus terminal 'Atlantico Norte' (depending on day and time), but walking distance of centre. 2 (expensive) supermarkets and bank ATM nearby. Great, friendly, helpful staff who keep the place clean and tidy. Key locked gated access, and key to own room. Excellent wifi/internet/network throughout. Large kitchen, 5 ring gas hob, large double fridge/freezer, small oven, coffee maker. Plenty of frying pans, crockery and cutlery. Large worktops for preparation. Storage space. Basic, but filling, breakfast buffet, Teas, coffee, cereals (with fresh milk) bread (for toast), margarine, jam and fruits. Plenty of sheltered outdoor eating and relaxing areas. Good book swap collection. Laundry available ($10) but not used. Plenty of information on local tours, and good map of central area. Small bedroom with small double bed & single bunk above (can be used for storage), bedside table, bin, table ledge and chair. Lighting OK. Powerpoints around room, but none near bed. Not too hot or cold, but fan & blanket provided. Medium sized bathroom, good lighting, electric hot water shower.”
