Location and surroundings: Frequently praised for its prime position near a beach , proximity to organic markets, and convenient access to restaurants. The property is described as "tucked away" with lush greenery, trees, and a well-maintained pool area.(based on 1 review)

The only good point is the swimming pool ans to be near the beach. All the rest is wrong. We paid $ 540 for 4 nights at 3 personns. Highly priced for the price of the hotel room. For the same standard we usually paid $ 75 a night. Bathroom: stained mirror, regular water break due to a fault in the hotel. Would need a good renovation, broken tile. Shower wall incorrectly installed and closing once on 2. Bed: mattress completely rammed. Breakfast: insufficient in terms of choice, taste and quantity given the price of the room. The worst breakfast in hotel in Costa Rica. The waiter is incompetent: there is in the breakfast menu a fruit juice included that he never served or even offered. You ask for tea, he does not ask you what you want and he uses camomile. Continental breakfast = Toasts with 3 pieces of fruit. Pinto Gallo = 2 pieces of fried plantain, a small serving of rice and scrambled eggs. In short, do not stay at this hotel, you will find much better for the same price or cheaper for the same quality. Do not waste your money at home. He laughs at the customer. Always work close to the pool. Bar closed all day

We arrived at the hotel quite late and didn’t have that much time or energy to really look for something else. The hotel manager sensed this for sure. I am not sure how we didn’t see right away that no one has taken care of this place for at least 15 years. No renovation or upgrades have been done to any of the rooms of hotel vanities for years. The hotel is absolutely overpriced. The location is not pretty at all. I will post some photos later on, just wanted to warn all the travelers that are out there traveling through Costa Rica during a busy season. If you can’t find truly anything else and you must stay at this hotel make sure that you negotiate the price to about $70 with breakfast. It is still not worth the money but you will not be as angry as we are. We didn’t have warm water. They told us that we have been using the shower wrong. The bedding smelled. Room was dirty. The walls full of blood of mosquitoes. The breakfast was somehow ok. There are far better options available if you drive about 14km (8 miles) south. Or just stay around Manuel Antonio. I have traveled around the world and stayed in many simple accommodation, this hotel tries to oversell itself and as many places around this area, but also sadly Costa Rica, it is truly ripping of people. I am sorry to say this but you are far better off if you staying away from this area. Except if you come for the surf. That is a different story. Otherwise wouldn’t recommend any of it.

Desafortunadamente, a pesar de la amabilidad del personal la estadía no fue para nada satisfactoria. En la primer habitación no funcionaba el aire acondicionado, nos pasaron de habitación y en esta no había agua pero el inodoro tampoco funcionaba bien. Las instalaciones necesitan mantenimiento urgente.

El hotel es bonito por fuera, pero está muy descuidado, las habitaciones son muy pequeñas con dos camas mínimas, el baño esta super descuidado, el sistema de ducha es penoso, no funciona o te dichas con agua fría o hirviendo, en otro hotel tenia el mismo sistema y funcionaba correctamente. La ubicación no está mal, muy cerca de la playa de Dominical Encima se va la luz de manera habitual y no saben cuando vuelve.... Lo único bueno es el restaurante, se come bien y por un precio razonable

Good value for money. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel shows its age but is in good condition, very clean rooms and has a nice pool and duck pond. I would definitely recommend it as it is good value for money.

I had a great stay at Hotel Diuwak! The highlight was definitely the beautiful pool—clean, spacious, and surrounded by lush greenery, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The staff was friendly, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming. I’d definitely come back!
