Hotel Surf The Place
Rating:
Location: Mal Pais, Costa Rica.
Description: Hotel Surf The Place - WE LOVED IT! It's one of the nicest hotels in the area (we also stayed
at Blue Jay lodge & Surf Camp). After I made our reservations I
read the review "Please overlook the other reviews and read this one"
which described this hotel as a very dirty and bad place to stay at (I
was a bit worried). When we arrived at The Place I knew that that
review was not true. I didn’t smell anything bad around the kitchen or
any other area on this beautiful property.
Facilities: Restaurant, front desk tours, pool, surf lessons, any others.
Rates:$95 - $150
