I can see that why some people are greatly charmed by the place. I saw this place from their website and it looked so exhaustic and beautiful, I stopped by Mal Pais on my way to Tamarindo just to stay at The place for couple days. As I arrived, I liked the look of the place and paid 3 nights... more

Not sure what to say other than when we go back to Mal Pais we are staying with Andrea and Rodrigo. Andrea was a sweetheart, and if you wanted something chances are she knows just where to get it. Rodrigo, not much to say about this Argentinian teddy bear other than this boy can cook. As of May 8th they... more

My husband and I had the pleasure to stay at The Place FEB 07 (for a full week). WE LOVED IT! It's one of the nicest hotels in the area (we also stayed at Blue Jay lodge & Surf Camp). After I made our reservations I read the review "Please overlook the other reviews and read this one" which described... more

We stayed for 3 nights during December of 2006. We really enjoyed our stay as the bungalows were cute, the staff was helpful, and the location was good. Often times, it felt like we were the only group staying there which was nice and then at times you almost wanted some nightlife at the bar, etc. Considering other people's comments,... more

I was so excited to stay at the place... a feeling that changed from the moment that we walked onto the hotel grounds. I should have known, from when we booked online and they refused to give us an offical conformation of our booking. Although decorated very well with an almost "africon" feeling, i was immediatly overwhelmed by the stench... more

Our experience with this property was very different from the others I've read on this site. We called the property directly to book a bungalow over the Thanksgiving holiday. They advised us that they were booked, but offered us their Villa at a discounted rate of $150 CASH per night. This was above our budge but we were desperate. They... more

My boyfriend and I ended our trip here. When we arrived at "The Place" we took a look at the bungalows and immediately upgraded from our original budget room. We stayed in the Mexican themed bungalow, it was so cute. The staff was very friendly and the pool was amazing. The grounds had a great night atmosphere, although it was... more

We adored this hotel and would have liked to stay longer. The honeymoon cabin was great, the pool, bar and dinning areas are amazing. You have to eat there if Antonio and Sophia are cooking, the food was delicious. Mal Pais was a beautiful, quite town with great surf. We enjoyed it so much we are planning our next trip. more

We went here not knowing what to expect as there is little to no information other than the property's own website. Based on that alone we chose to stay here for four nights- June 26- June 29. We are glad we did. The location is great, just left of the cross road entering MP/ST about 1/2 mile. The grounds are... more
