The breakfast was awesome and delicious! The swing in front of the window was nice :-) and different! The staff was very nice. We were able to leave our rented car there while we went do a tour. I would recommend this Don Taco Hotel without any hesitation!

No smoking area... I had to go outside the premises to smoke (just on the street). It's o.k. but it would of been nice to have a ''sit down'' area.

It was located a little away from the town so it was super quiet. We got upgraded from a standard room to a cabin with a small sitting area with amazing views. It was comfortable and despite rainy season stopping most afternoon activity we enjoyed watching the thunderstorms from here. The breakfast was amazing as were the staff who helped us to book tours, transport and any other general advice.

The rooms were clean and comfortable and breakfast was great. The view from the breakfast room and balcony were beautiful and watching the sunset and stars was a great moment. The staff were really friendly. The location was perfect for activities.

There wasn't anything really. All I could muster here is the shower was lacking a bit of power but in all honesty we loved our stay and will remember our time in Santa Elena

Staff were super helpful. Good location with private parking space. Bed was very comfy too. There's an amazing view from the breakfast area.

The water wasn't as hot as expected in the shower. However staff ensured they'd look into it. It would also have been nice to have some hangers in the room to dry out some of our clothes (due to rain).

We loved our stay here. The place has a lot of charm, with friendly and helpful staff. Location great for getting into the town (be warned it is hilly!). But the best thing was the view! A lovely balcony and veranda to take in the view down to the gulf of Nicoya.

Be warned, that the wind can be quite loud during the night. We were fine with this, and it all added to the experience. I suspect a similar issue in other places too, and if a light sleeper, you may want to take earplugs. The bathroom was a bit basic, but consistent with the star rating, we didn't mind so much.

The management is friendly and welcoming to the guests. I made a mistake when booking, but the hotel staff immediately helped me to correct it. They helped me with parking on a narrow mountain road at night. A delicious breakfast and a comfortable sleep improved my trip.

Hotel Don Taco was fantastic. The rooms were really comfortable and updated. Complimentary breakfast was delicious. And the staff were wonderful. The gentleman who checked us in gave a great recommendation for dinner and helped get us a reservation. We were super grateful for his help.

The shower didn't have the hottest water.

Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. I forgot my e-reader when we checked out and had left for another town. The staff contacted me and were able to have a third party bring my e-reader to the town I was in for a small fee! Kids loved the hotel dogs :)

We were a late booking so were glad to find a place in the middle of town. Location was great - we could walk for dinner and shops and lots of choices. And right in the middle of all the tours - most pick you up from the hotel so we didn't use the cars once in 3 days. Staff super helpful - did all the bookings for us. Breakfast was good. And a cool little bar which were we could have a couple of beers while the kids played some of the games they had in there. Great views from up the hill. Would happily stay again.

Not enough places to dry wet clothes and shoes - may have been a communal place however. Shower was cold, but was warm enough weather to be little problem.

Great facilities, huge shower with hot water, nice balcony to observe sunset, included great breakfast.

The mattress on the double bed was really hard. Somehow the mattresses on single beds were more comfortable. The pillows on all beds were way too small and uncomfortable.
