Basic place strategically located
I was there with my parents. Very spacious place. Very basic. Good money/quality ratio. Overall this is a good place, but could use some cleaning in some areas of the premises. Rooms were clean and the beds are confortable.

Long drive? Rest here.
Large, clean, basic room. Pool area large but needs allot of attention. Water appeared less clear than I would have liked. Many severely ripped and damaged pool loungers really detracted from the area. Just getting rid of those would help spruce it up. Good for a quick overnight stay from a long days drive back to the beach.

The hotel looked good, but once in the room, it was something else. The room was not very clean, most of the lights were burned out. We could hear everything coming from other rooms. Neighbours has a fight in the middle of the night and woke us up. Very little unformation given at the reception. The pool and the grounds could use some cleaning.

This property is a good stopping point along the way. The room was large and clean but the shower was cold. I did not have any problems with the rate and paid exactly as listed.

Pictures are better than the place
This hotel is on lovely grounds that are lush and green. From the outside, it looked great. The room itself was okay—very big. The bathroom was a huge disappointment. Absolutely no counter space and it is in dire need of an update. The tile in the shower felt clean but certainly didn’t look it. The pool and surrounding were great and relaxing. Best part was dinner—food was delicious and service was wonderful even though our poor server had to put up with our limited Spanish. We’ve seen really great places and some so-so places in Costa Rica. Maybe I’m just a gringo with expectations that are too high.

For the price, we were disappointed
When we first arrived, some of the curtains were hanging off the rod. The room has a dark wood ceiling and dark painted walls...and very small light bulbs. One of the two lamps did not work. The hot and cold water handles in the shower were backwards, so the first morning we had to take cold showers. The internet for most of the time we were there did not reach our room. At dinner a friend of ours found a screw in her food...while she ate. It chipped one of her teeth. One of the nights we were there we found a large scorpion in our bathroom. Because of my husbands health, we took an electric skillet to cook his food. The last night of our stay (we stayed 3 nights), the receptionist came to us and told us there would be a $50 fee because we had cooked in the room. She showed us a paper that stated cooking in the room was not allowed...we never had received the paper, nor did the posting for the room on expedia state that it was not allowed. I gave her a list of the complaints we had made, and reminded her that we had never requested a discount in our bill to compensate for our inconvenience . She tried to make me feel guilty by saying that the girl who had checked us in was going to have to pay the $5o herself. I was sorry, but that was not my problem. In the end they did not charge us, but it was very unpleasant.

Bien en algunas cosas en otras deben mejorar mucho
Nuestra estancia en el Hotel El Regalo (Wilson) en Nicoya fue agradable. El proceso de Check in fue ágil y ameno, así como el check out. La atención de los colaboradores del hotel fue muy amable. El servicio de restauración se destaca del resto, dado que la alimentación que consumimos para la cena fue muy buena. El servicio de cocktails y el desayuno incluido no fue muy bueno. Podrían mejorar bastante. En cuanto a las condiciones del local, merece mencionar que tiene una ubicación conveniente, las habitaciones son espaciosas, así como las áreas comunes, que se encuentran principalmente al aire libre. No obstante deben mejorar en la limpieza de las habitaciones y en particular en el mantenimiento y limpieza de las piscinas. El estado del agua de las mismas realmente no era el deseable. En general el sitio tiene puntos muy favorables en mi valoración y otros que requieren de atención y mejora significativa por parte de la administración del hotel.
