La Dolce Vita has got an excellent position, first line on the wonderful beach of Esterillos Oeste. Our room had a confortable bef, efficient air condition, satellite tv, hot water shower and also a kichen with refri. The place is quiet, the breakfast tasty and the service simple but friendly. We soent a nice week at a correct price. 

Lovely apartments on the beach

Beautiful  hotel, very nice view, staff very good as well of the food.
A lot of noise at night, behind there is a hostal and they have music until late, thin walls special when you stay beside  a family with little children.
You can not pay with credit card. Only cash and we did not knew.


Average

We had two rooms on the ground floor for a week at the end of September.  The rooms aren't fancy but certainly much better than adequate.  The staff was very friendly and willing to help.  You can't get any closer to the beach.  You step out of the hotel gates and onto the sand.

Great Staff and GREAT PRICE !!

Based on the glowing reviews, the price (for Costa Rica) and the misleading website I was expecting something much nicer and was very disappointed.  Have always had good luck with Trip Advisor reviews so am totally mystified by this.  First off, the website is inaccurate on a couple of points. It says all rooms have patios and two do not.  Also mentions “lush tropical gardens” and while this could be a bit subjective the only thing remotely resembling a garden is a three foot wide strip of common vegetation along the walkway in front of the rooms. Quite a stretch to call it a lush garden.  The room we had reserved had a ratty lumpy futon couch covered with a bed sheet (!), an old threadbare bedspread, huge rusted area on fridge etc.  We were able to “upgrade” to a different room for the first three of the five nights we had reserved. This room was slightly better due to having a balcony with ocean view, better couch and bedspread and newer fridge. But it was still just generally shabby and sorely in need of remodeling.   I have traveled extensively through Costa Rica and Mexico and do not stay in fancy places. There is a difference between basic/simple and run down/poorly maintained.  Reminded me of a very low budget motel on a deserted highway in the western US except it was priced higher.  I don’t blame the couple managing this place--they keep it clean and serve a nice breakfast. They probably have little or no say about what the owner chooses to do in terms of upgrades.  Actually with a modest investment in cosmetic improvements this place could be cute but as it currently is it is depressing.  After sticking it out for three nights we simply left and forfeited the remaining two nights we had paid for.   

Huge Disappointment

This hotel has the chance to be located on the Playa of Esterillos Oeste, in front the best surf spot. We spent here seven days, in a renovated and clean appartement at the ground floor, with excellent climatization, a confortable bed, hot shower, wifi, tv. Good breakfast, nice and helpful staff. Positive quality-price ratio.

In front of Esterillos Oeste surf spot

The bus left us about 500 yards from the gate and i thought what have I got myself into.The property is about 500 yards from the road and the walk in was sketchy but thats where my worries ended. I missed meeting the owner he was back in Italy. The staff being a young couple were great, security was a priority. The grocery store and butcher shop are both conviently located, the pool is small but I am no olyimpic swimmer. The public beach is a stones thow away and there is a bit of night life. We got freindly with our neighbors and had a great time. The air conditioning worked the fridge kept the beer cold. Don't miss the mermaid a great place to explore and your not far from the national park a must see

The beach and a village feel in a non pretenious atmoshere

What can I say, second time in a month and will definitely com back. Management is great, always ready to take care of your needs. Ocean front, nice pool, awesome breakfast (ask for an upgrade for little fee and you'll get Costa Rican breakfast, otherwise you'll get continental). Nice rooms, you can fully cook, cold AC and overall you feel like you never left home. My 4 year old loves this place. 

The best in Esterillos

This is our second time here, after two years, coming from Playa Tamarindo, and the experience was positive again. Good service, well equipped room, delicious breakfast. The city hall renewed also the road to the beach, coming from the "Carrettera Nationa" to Manuel Antonio and it was easy to get at the hotel. The beach of Esterillos Oeste is always gorgeous and we would come again in the future.

Good value for money in a nice beach

I'd warn against staying on a Wednesday, "karaoke" night at the restaurant 75 yards away. Super loud, luckily they stopped @ midnight but it was 3-4 hours of our wost nightmare. We planned on cutting our stay short by a night and leaving the next day but were promised that was an exception.

Great location, love the shady spot in front to chill and enjoy the beach, nice hosts BUT:

This is a wonderful experience. Small town but Jaco only 15min away if you want the night life. Rooms are clean, nicest showers ever! Beach is amazing,with trees for shade and both high and low tide bring adventures. Plus hotel has very convenient showers and foot baths after you get out of the ocean. The garden outside the rooms is beautiful and very well maintained and the pool was the cleanest I've seen in a long time! The family were very nice and accommodating. Highly recommend for a wonderful beach experience! Thanks for such a wonderful stay La Dolce Vita family!!!
