Park Hotel

The ocean view from the balcony was amazing, and my room was comfortable and cozy. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and the restaurant food was top-notch, five stars. I’ll stay here again when I return. ❤️🌊

The restaurant food was delicious, and the portions were generous. We especially liked the Caribbean shrimp and churrasco. Breakfast was a little disappointing, though, since they had the same three options every day. The hotel is very nice and cozy, right by the sea. Our deluxe room was spacious, with comfortable beds, a little balcony, and a lovely view of the sea and beach. The bathtub didn’t work very well because it wouldn’t hold water. We also had a plumbing issue in the first room, where the toilet wouldn’t flush. The staff moved us to another room, and everything was fine there.

I chose this place because it was probably the best option in the center of town. Check-in was quick, and the young woman was nice. For $75.00 a night, I’ve stayed in much better places. The reception and restaurant look all right, but the rooms are where you see the dated, three-star motel feel.

The staff at the hotel and restaurant gave great service, and we had the best gallo pinto in Costa Rica there. The woman who arranged our room upgrade was especially helpful, as was the restaurant worker who still got breakfast for us on our last day after breakfast time. We’d been busy packing and lost track of time. We stayed in Limón during our October 2023 trip to Costa Rica for the Caribbean carnival and a visit to San José. The service and the upgrade to a premium room with an ocean view would have earned five stars on their own. But the owners charged us extra for their bank fees on the wire transfer booking deposit, even though I’d already paid my own bank fees. The room rate was already expensive because of the carnival. This has never happened to me at other hotels in the countries and places I’ve visited. They could have sent a payment link, as other places do, instead of banking details that leave you unable to avoid transaction fees. Because of this payment issue alone, I’d give the service three stars.
