Sendero is a rather new and very well maintained hotel, perfectlly located close to the Playa Guiones (2min stroll through sand and trees). Staff is super-friendly and welcoming, not only once you arrive, but also during booking and pre-arrival. Always very responsive and reliable, very friendly and helpful. The hotel was fully booked and got pretty crowded especially in the evening - probably because the food is delicious and not only hotel-guests eat there. Having said this, service almost always worked perfectly, even though sometimes it took a while for things to arrive. The athmosphere is loud and lively and there were quite a few families with kids. Lucky enough, we got a room on the upper floor a bit away from the action (No 22) so sleeping was never a problem. All in all, a pleasant enough place to spend a few relaxing days. What really surprised us, however, were the prices for food and drinks. We were aware that CR is a rather expensive country and that this particular area might be even more pricy than the rest of it, but having to pay almost as much for a coffee in the morning than for an espresso on Piazza San Marco in Venice (arguably the most expensive spot in the world to have coffee….) stroke us as a bit over the top. But as said, apart from prices, a very recommendable hotel.
