    We didn't really mind, but I have to mention the lack of soundproof walls (we clearly listened to the next door neighbour snoring) and that the bathroom overflowed after two people taking a bath. Especially the second issue must be something that can be easily fixed.

    Centrally located premises, offering two spots for parking, one right outside the hotel and another one in a nearby property. Walking distance from restaurants and tour operators. The room was spacious, with comfortable bed and a balcony with view to the pool. The receptionist was kind enough to store our luggage for a couple of hours after check out and also suggested places to have dinner upon our arrival.

    The shower temperature was really annoying, either boiling hot or freezing cold. Shared kitchen was quite dirty, a tea or coffee station would've been nice.

    Pool and gardens were beautiful. We loved having a balcony in our room. Staff were super friendly. Super clean rooms and nice big bed. Walkable to the beach and a few restaurants in the area

    The room was very small. I had no hot water and a lot of noise in the room, so I asked to change it, which they did for the next day, so it was resolved. The pillows were very thick and not very comfortable. My room was on the second floor with no elevator, so taking the suitcase up and down was quiet heavy.

    Nice hotel, clean room, very helpful staff. The pool was very nice.

    Everything thing was ok. The adjoining restaurant does play music till 10pm but it didn’t affect my sleep and they played a pretty good play list.

    The pool. The location. The staff. I was warmly greeted by Grettel, who took time to introduce me to the property and its facilities. She also gave me good advice about where to visit and where I might best get an opportunity to see bird and wild life. Kevin was the only other staff member that I interacted with but he too was friendly and gave practical advice about my onward travel and places in Costa Rica. I lucked out and a six bed dorm all to myself so enjoyed privacy at a good price point. The dorm room is modern, large, air conditioned and comfortable.

    Pool area could use a little tlc dirty umbrellas and chairs Restaurant is SO expensive and not worth it Staff weren’t very helpful- asked about transportation to San Jose and got told to use bookaway. Asked if they could book us a table at the restaurant and when we turned up they didn’t have our reservation so this clearly wasn’t communicated. Although, the guy on reception when we checked out was nice (didn’t catch his name)

    Good value for money Beautiful spacious rooms Good location- walked every where Super cold AC Huge TV

    The breakfast was not included and was expensive. The shower doors were broken as well as the bathroom window and one of the lights. The towels need to be renewed. The restaurant inside is noisy and the music volume was loud, especially at night, which ruined the overall experience. Parking spots are limited and you need to leave the car key at the reception.

    The pool and the outside environment overall was very pleasant and relaxing. Very close to Marino Ballena National Park.

    We booked a room with kitchen and it was just OK, no water heater, no cloths. The stove was useless, it took us a hour to boil water so consider this if you are planning to cook. There's not a lot of parking spaces so that might be an issue.

    Location is really good, walking distance to the national park main entrance. It has a nice pool though the water was pretty warm. The bed was nice.

    I thought the space was amazing and the staff were super friendly. The pool is nice, and the location is excellent. They also offer yoga classes at a good price for guests, which is a great bonus. However, if you're a solo traveler looking to meet people, it might be a bit challenging, as the social atmosphere isn't very strong

    Overall the stay was very enjoyable, but there were some slight "icks". The shower was constantly leaking, so we had to sleep with the sound of water dripping every night. They changed our towels everyday, however these never seemed to be totally clean as they had spots and marks. During the evening the hotel was kind of noisy because of the restaurant connected to it. However it always went quiet around 10pm so it was fine. The Restaurant was quite pricy for what it was, but as I understand it it is separate management from the hotel.

    When we arrived at yuli hotel we were absolutely thrilled. The Hotel appears to be very new and looks absolutely fabulous. The pool was nicely surrounded by a lot of flora. Our room was spacious, just like our bathroom. The AC worked perfectly, which was important considering the humid air. Mind you we were backpacking and wanted to treat ourselves with a budget hotel. It was definitely worth it. The Hotel is located super close to the Nationalpark and to many restaurants.

    It was very loud music during the whole days from the restaurant next door. I would have loved to have somewhere where it could be quiet. I would also have loved to have a small place to work out.

    Amazing place, amazing staff. I would love to stay there again!

    The attached restaurant. Very loud music all day long. Expensive menu and poor food quality. Who puts mint on a pizza! The restaurant is a separate business to the hotel and gets very busy and noisy, especially at night time.

    Lovely pool. Great air conditioning and good sized rooms. Close to beach and the local bars and restaurants. Greta from reception was very helpful.

    Tea and coffee making facilities would have been a welcome addition, although there is a communal kitchen which is part of the hotel. There is only limited car parking spaces (max 6) so if you have a car, you may need to park along the road at times.

    The Yuli provided a comfortable and relaxing base for 3 days around the Marine Park. The room was simple in layout with a good bathroom. The balcony was great too, and the small hotel pool ideal to relax by in the sun. There is an on site restaurant although if you are keeping an eye on the budget, you may prefer to visit the numerous good restaurants and cafes within walking distance.

    A pleasant stay with a great location and pool, but the amenities could be improved.

    Some basic amenities were missing for a hotel aiming for a higher-end feel. For example, no coffee maker in the room—you had to go to a converted shipping container to make coffee, which was a bit odd. The shower door in our room was off its runners and didn’t work properly, which made using it frustrating. No housekeeping during our two-day stay. The poolside restaurant was very expensive. 6USD for a small bottle of beer and 15USD for a glass of wjite wine. Soundproofing was poor—on one night, we were kept awake by an extremely loud shower from the room above and to the side of us.

    A lovely hotel with a nice pool, which was much appreciated in the heat. Very close to the beach, making it a great location. Onsite restuarant looked very nice.
