Reviews of Casa Susen

The location cannot be beat - directly across from the ocean and a short walk to grocery/bars/restaurants! We had a room on the second floor and ended up having the ocean view patio to ourselves. These are basic accommodations, for example there is no air conditioning - but the room was clean, the bed comfortable and the owners are kind.

We loved the view and the porch to sit on. The roo. Was very simple, with fan and windows to open. Lovely for those who love the simplicity of things.

They could use better signage and directions. . We suggest they mention the big green gate doors.

Location is hard to beat! From our room, up on the hill, a splendid view of the water.

The room was super clean, the high ceilings made for a good circulation of air, and the beach was right across the street. Blanca was very friendly, professional and warm, and the hotel had a great family feel to it. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

A ceiling fan instead of a portable one would help with the heat during the day and at night. Having said that, the portable fan did blast all kinds of air around the room, which was much appreciated.

Beautiful beach front property right near centre of town. Large spacious rooms, with large windows that open right out to the ocean. Great location - walking distance to both town and Montezuma waterfalls. Well equipped/clean shared kitchen.

Unable to pay with card. Cash only. No air conditioning (however we were there in the hottest month and there is a beautiful breeze from the ocean so we did not need + fan in room)

Right by the beach and near the town. Very friendly and helpful manager.

Nothing really. Not all the rooms had AC but we were afforded a choice and it was all very pleasant.

Simple Hotel but mice Location

The location was great, right next to the beach and easy to walk into town or the waterfalls nearby.

It was very disorganized and it was difficult to find anyone to talk to or check in or out. There were also many bugs and even a scorpion in my room.

Casa Susen is located right across from the beach and is so grand with its tall pillars and long staircase up to the grand patio where Susana's mother sits at her table to check in guests. We were in room 1 so I don't know what the rooms in the other buildings were like, but our room gets full sun (hot) and you can watch the sunrise with your coffee rocking in the chairs on the patio. The communal kitchen was nice. Susana booked our boat tour with Zuma tours to Tortuga Island and it was so seamless- we paid her mother with our room and just met the group on the beach. We arrived from driving from Santa Teresa just in time so it was nice to have our ticket with Zuma secured. We pampered Americans prefer our AC so my only complaint is how hard it was to sleep in 80+ degrees with only 1 fan for the whole room. We stayed on a Friday night and there was a party in town- a DJ with really good speakers! They played after the local musicians finished after 9pm and they rocked the house music until after midnight. My teen and 24 year old son loved it though and they hung out with the party crown until 1 am- I did not worry as it is very safe here. Maybe bring earplugs- the sound carried and it was loud. I even heard it when I woke up at 3am, but it was turned down. I loved the location, but pretty rustic for the price.

I mentioned already that we would've loved AC in the room as it was pretty stiffling- but the good news is- absolutely NO BUGS. We have yet to encounter mosquitos.

I liked the view of the beach from our room. Good location & close to town.

The rooms need an upgrade. Very basic & no closets, coffee in the rooms, etc. the communal kitchen has old cookware and could use more dishes.

location & staff

the bugs

Very spacious. Good equipment in the kitchen. Room lovely and clean.

Fantastic location very close to the sea, to the beach and Montezuma centre. Very clean room and comfortable bed. Small fridge in the room would be perfect, otherwise everything was excellent.

Great location, room was big and clean, beautiful view from the balcony, no AC, but not needed.

N/A

Staff was friendly and helpful. Gave us good information about buses. The cleaning staff worked very hard and did an excellent job. Great location, especially for those of us traveling without a car.

Cost was a bit pricey.

Montezuma was a quaint, beautiful town. Very serene setting. Casa Susen right across the road from the beautiful beach.

Nothing.

the room was nice and spacious, comfortable bed, nice linen sheets. location was great, close to the beach. water pressure was good. wifi was spotty. no AC but there was a big strong fan in the bedroom.

it was hot

Well located, a 3 minute walk from town, Casa Susen is a tranquil lovely place to stay. It is right next to the beach and you can hear the soothing sound of waves all night long. We upgraded to a room on the highest floor of the top building (room 207) that had a kitchen, hot water, and a dining table & chairs outside on the large balcony and we were very pleased that we did. The kitchen was great! and also saved us some money when we felt like having a lazy morning and eating breakfast on the balcony at home since the view is superb. Blanca is a great host!! She is helpful, kind, and easy to interact with. There are fans in the room. Bathroom is good and water is hot (not a lot of water pressure though). There is a fridge in the kitchen and a gas stovetop for cooking. All pans, crockery, cutlery, chopping board were provided. We loved our stay and ended up extending it for 4 more days. This is a great place to stay. Loved it.

Need a rack or line to hang wet clothes.

Sitting on the communal porch. The efficient air-con and fan. The location was very good for watching wildlife.
