Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Loved the view and the service. So accommodating . Had a very nice view of the ocean and the surroundings were very nice. The only suggestion I would make is that the pool deck is very slippery with or without shoes when it is wet. Had a great time with the staff they were wonderful people. Loved our stay

Hotel staff were pleasant and very helpful. Room was great with a nice view of the surrounding area. Pool was perfect for lounging or swimming laps. Breakfast was very nice. Waking up to singing birds was a nice change.

Great place to bird watch and sunsets.
Amazing place to watch birds and sunsets! The staff, Jeffers and Orlando were exceptional and we enjoyed breakfast every morning in the common area watching birds. Don't forget to walk around the property grounds and explore. That said, we only had hot water one day we were there. We did notify staff and they tried to fix it but it never happened. I do not enjoy cold showers.

Amazing ocean view
Quite place, amazing view, very kind staff, too expensive for what you get, very few staff the bar tender is the recepcionist, waiter, and everything so you will have to wait. The pool do not have tiles, the room is nice but it could be good to have a refrigirator. The restaurant menú is to small and not for a hotel, they serve basically snacks.

Hotel Lookout at Playa Tortuga
Overall everything was great. When I read other reviews I thought there was more to walk to but that is not true. However, it is an easy drive to restaurants in the area and about a 10 minute drive to Uvita, 25 minutes to Dominical which offer more options for restaurants and things to do. The property itself is beautiful & relaxing. The food at the restaurant is really good, we had breakfast everyday and dinner once. This was the area in Costa Rica where we did a lot of activities; hiking, snorkeling, etc. so coming back to this hotel at night was exactly what we needed to unwind and get some rest. One thing to note is that you are not an easy walk to the beach. We drove down because of the roads and then walked the beach. There were a few other people walking the beach but there isn't much else going on. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely hotel in great location
We stayed in a lovely bungalow with a balcony that looked out over the sea- we watched the sun go down and then the firefires came out. The owner and staff are really helpful, and the local beaches were beautiful and almost deserted.

Fantastic Hotel Near Ballena
We stayed here during Tropical Storm Nate (by chance) and the staff couldn't have been more helpful, accommodating and friendly. The food was excellent and the grounds are beautiful with a pretty incredible view of the ocean. There's also lot's of amazing bird life and howler monkeys make appearances as well.

Jeffer, Orlando, and all the staff treated us like family. The view of the ocean with swells rolling in barrels, while you can hear the surf is exquisite. The food was amazing, the drinks perfect. Laying in the negative edge pool, it merges with the ocean on the horizon. Pura Vida at Hotel Lookout!

Wonderful place and people
We spent two nights here and found it to be a Wonderful relaxing place with great food and service - staff was excellent with their service - John was most helpful in assisting us with what was available in the area and even upon our check-out provided a ride to the nearest bus stop (we traveled all over Panama and Costa Rica by bus). The Lookout is somewhat off the main highway but accessible by an easy walk uphill (do not travel with mush luggage) and overlooks the Pacific. Could have spent more time here relaxing, enjoying the pool and views - it is away from a lot of the attractions which makes it a quiet place to be. WIFI and breakfasts wer3e excellant and the resort had very reasonable rates.

Nice hotel but no private beach
It said on the website that it had private beach(most important reason we choose this hotel) but that's not true also the standard room doesn't have tv or a/c so be careful when choosing the excellent rate on expedia because then you have to upgrade it cause if not you will only have a fan on 95 F temperatures.

Comfortable hotel with nice gardens
My wife and I stayed two nights at Hotel Lookout. The hotel sits at the top of a hill with a very steep, long and rock (not stones) road. We wondered where in the world this treacherous road was leading. We booked a deluxe room, but soon realized that the room didn't have air conditioning or a tv. The owner was able to give us an upgrade to a room with AC and a tv for an additional $25/night. The room was big, but the AC worked, but not as good as all the other hotels we stayed at. The toilet handle would continuously get stuck and we would have to jiggle the handle to get it to fill and stop running continuously. There were also several ants in the room and couldn't tell where they were coming from. The wi-fi signal was also very weak. We could only ever get 1 bar of signal strength in our room. The hotel gardens are beautiful which was our favorite part of the property. The pool was nice, but small. We had breakfast included with our stay. The breakfast on the first morning was good, but the staff was stingy with the coffee and we didn't get juice. The second morning was better with coffee refills and juice. Not sure what happened between the 2 mornings because the same staff member served us. Also, there's not much to do unless you drive about 2 miles to Ojochal or 8 miles to Uvita. As I stated earlier, the hotel was nice, but could have been better. I would neitherencourage nor discourage anyone from staying at Hotel Lookout.

Great Gem!
The management and staff was extremely caring, friendly, and helpful. They arranged day trips for us, had excellent meals, had a bar where we met with friends, had a very nice pool, and provided a peaceful ambiance where we felt relaxed and safe. We plan to return next year.
