My experience at Costa Sur was wonderful! The hotel boasts cleanliness and comfort, with stunning views and a family-friendly atmosphere. The beach conditions were a bit rocky, and the dining options could be improved as breakfast varied in selection, but overall, the service and amenities were top-notch. I loved the peaceful location, though it's a bit far for easy walking access to the town.

The breakfast was decent, although it varied based on the server, so it wasn't consistently great, which was a downside.

The two pools were lovely and surprisingly quiet, making them perfect for relaxation. However, the gym was a bit cramped but well-equipped.

Our stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. We loved the stunning ocean views from our balcony and enjoyed spotting marine life during our time there. The location is convenient with easy access to public transport, but we faced some challenges with the staff's attitude during check-in and the chair reservation situation at the pool. Overall, the hotel offers clean, spacious rooms with a great kitchenette, but some aspects could use improvement.

Our stay at Costa Sur had its ups and downs. The location was lovely, with amazing views and the rooms were mostly clean, especially after we switched to one that was more updated. However, the dining experience was a letdown with food that did not excite our taste buds. Service at times fell short, particularly during busy hours. Overall, while we enjoyed the ocean atmosphere, we might explore other options in the future.

I had a mixed experience at Costa Sur. On one hand, the ocean view from every room is simply breathtaking, and I enjoyed the clean, spacious accommodations. However, there were quite a few issues that made my stay less enjoyable, like the small beach area and lack of straightforward service with luggage handling. Overall, it has great potential, but some upgrades and better attention to detail are needed.

I had a delightful stay at this resort, enjoying a spacious room with a fantastic ocean view. The staff were consistently warm and engaging, making us feel welcome. The location was convenient for exploring the old town, and we loved hanging out at the private beach and pool. However, the dining options could be more creative, and some of the plumbing issues were a bit bothersome. Overall, it's great value for money and a perfect spot for a relaxing vacation.
