I really liked the super chill staff at Costa Oeste. This is a nice hotel in front of Playa Santana, with minimal amenities, comfortable bed, and the public area had a nice set of hammocks, pool area is clean and welcoming, enough parking spots behind the hotel, all good.
the good:
-I arrived 3 hours before check-in time, quite tired and with a splitting headache. They were kind enough to speed up room cleaning. I waited in the beach lounge area for 45 minutes and the room was ready for me, this was fantastic!
-rooms with great ocean view
-good room ventilation (even though there is no AC)
-perfect location for those sunset shots
the bad:
-could be a fluke but nothing I ordered from the menu was available, and their own website menu doesn't match the real menu. Nevertheless, the chef managed to make a nice and tasty seafood dish
the ugly:
-nothing, all good and very recommendable!
