The hotel is showing its age. They keep it clean and the staff is as warm and welcoming as always. We had to upgrade to a condo at the tower and it is not as well maintained as the hotel. The quality of the service at the restaurant is good and relatively fast. The cuisine is simple but delicious.

The room was nice. Didn't like the fact that they have a cafe machine but they didnt supply any coffee, sugar. The bar by the pool horrible! I waited over 15 mins for 2 beers and i was the only one at bar. Then i went back asked for 2 screw drivers the had no orange juice so i couldnt get any drinks becuz there was no orange jui e.i paid almost 20 for a drink and shot and they took it upon themselves to charge me a 10% service charge when they didnt wventake the drink to me.the fridge in our room wasnt cold enough so we had to put all our sodas , water etc...in freezer which didnt even freeze.

I stayed for a few days and loved it there! The amenities offered are great, the staff was so helpful and friendly, the restaurant and bar was convenient if we didn’t feel like going out, and everything was kept clean throughout our stay. I would definitely stay here again!

First, the staff were very nice. That's why you got 1 star.
The room was not good at all. One bedroom had no working light. There were no bath towels for the bedroom. The cord to operate the blind in BR#2 was broken so the blind wouldn't open. There were no filters for the coffee maker nor were there any paper towels even for the kitchen. The pool was filthy. Instead of providing us a room, we were told we could get a better room if we paid for an upgrade. I didn't want an "upgrade" I only wanted a room that was in good working order. I would never stay here again, nor would I give it a recommendation. For the price, it should have been much better. Shame on them.

We were in the tower which has great views and AC in the main room and bedrooms. Kitchen window was broken and wouldn't go shut all the way but only 1cm. Pool areas were beautiful and clean. Rooms were clean and spacious which was wonderful! We enjoyed the floor to ceiling windows that allowed us to take full advantage of the great view.

Single night stay Puerto Azul Hotel
Hotel was ok for a night, the room and pool area were rather run down, pillows pretty flat, and the door to the balcony did not lock. Service was satisfactory for lobby and bags (note, there is no elevator to the second floor). Restaurant food and service were pretty good for dinner. I was pleasantly surprised by the free breakfast, which came with fruit, juice, good coffee, and a choice of one of four mains (the yogurt was a little odd, thin and comes with corn flakes) which were overall good.

The staff was super helpful. Much better than in USA. They went above and beyond to help me visit the nearby Tortuga Island. Breakfast options were somewhat limited but everything was delicious. Wifi worked well and we all had a great night’s sleep. Will definitely use this hotel again for any return trip to Puntarenas.

Our stay at Puerto Azul Hotel Y Club Nautico was good overall. They accommodated our very late check-in at 1:30 am, which was appreciated since our flight was late getting into San Jose. The breakfast was good, and we also attended a boat tour to Tortuga Island, which departed directly from the docks at the hotel, which was very convenient. It’s probably the best, safest place to stay in the area, though Puntarenas isn’t really well known for tourists. It was a convenient location for a few different excursions we wanted to do, such as Monteverde and Tortuga Island, and the hotel fulfilled all of our needs. We likely wouldn’t stay in Puntarenas again otherwise, but this has nothing do to with the hotel. It was comfortable and the staff was great.
