Mamma Rosa Aparthotel

AC had a hard time cooling down upstairs apartment but eventually did. Everything else was great. Got to see a monkey family climbing in the trees on the grounds!

It was fine. The check in was annoying. The desk clerk would not even look to see if our room was ready and when we went back - he did not look again and said - 10 minutes.... apparently when he got off. It was clean and empty. Other than that - room was a good size, clean, good kitten, great location. Breakfast was good too.

For the price and, location, this hotel is excellent. It is not a luxury hotel. It is clean enough and, comfortable enough. The staff was very friendly. It is in a great walkable location. There is a beach 3 minutes away, lots of places to eat. There is a free breakfast is okay. My room had 2 queen size beds, a twin and, mini fridge. Depending on the season, these rooms go over round $100. That is amazing for this area. The area in front of the hotel gets a lot of shade. In rainy season, expect mud puddles. But, overall, this is a great little place.

We love Mama Rosa!

Great beach location! I would stay again!

Cool hotel next to beach. Beds are a little hard, but location is awesome.

Great location as few minutes walk to beach, which is good if surfing. Staff very friendly and helpful. Basic Costa Rican style accommodation but had everything you need and was clean.

Iguanas on the roof and howler monkeys in the trees will awaken you at dawn, the room we had was cool , never ran the A/C but did the ceiling fans. Best to bring your own soap and shampoo. Breakfast is a regular hotel breakfast , staff is very pleasant. Very very dusty ,dirt roads. Excellent Italian food @ mama's. Next best 2 places to eat were (A)Walking distance, close by (300 ft.) La Negra (B) Ranchero Tico in Nosara,(need a ride to get there but food is excellent and inexpensive.)

My stay at Mamma Rosa was pretty varied, some parts were great and some parts not so good. When I first got there, they checked me into a very dirty room right by the restaurant which was extremely loud and not private with music and people talking right outside. Also the power went out that night, which meant no a/c or wifi or light. I honestly thought about leaving and going to another hotel. The next morning I requested to upgrade to an apartment in the back area and after that, my room was grea and I was very happy with it! Their daily breakfasts are delicious and their Italian food at night was good, but expensive. There is a bit of a language barrier as some of the staff doesn't speak any English so it made certain things like communicating about rides and asking questions about the bill upon check out extremely difficult. At a couple different points, the owner became frustrated and yelled at me in Spanish which was extremely unpleasant, though he was nice and accommodating at other points in my stay. Having worked in hospitality myself, I could never ever imagine yelling at a client/Patron so customer service could definitely be improved. The plus side to this property is definitely its location. 2 minutes walking to the beach, which is why I booked it. The area is also nice and quiet, though a bit secluded from other restaurants and bars so you need some type of transportation.
