"We booked 10 nights at Issimo, We had an outrageous stay here .Top notch from start to finish. We took a 3 day 2 night side trip to go inland and did not tell staff (due to hype of crime in Costa Rica) and by the time we returned the Owner came to our room and said we are so glad your alright. Not knowing anything was wrong he explained that being such a small Hotel they follow their guests closely. Thats what I call personal service. We are planning on a return trip and will stay at Issimo again without a doubt. A couple of the staff were outstanding, waiters were outstanding, and our room attandant was amazing making different towel animals and designs each day with fresh flower petals scattered throughout the bed and hot tub bath . Thank you for a great vacation."

"Experience is dependent on the room you stay in. Our room has the main staircase to the upstairs located directly above the bathroom, creating disturbances every time someone goes up or down. The door the patio is like a closet door allowing small bugs inside and all the noises of the forest at night. The patio is only big enough for one person at a time. The first night we stayed, we were awoken by a couple above us fighting and had to go to the front desk to complain only to see the two night men sitting and conversating instead of taking care of the situation.
We were upgraded to room 104 the next two nights and our experience was completely different. Nice room, very private and spacious. However, with both rooms we noticed a weird feeling of exhaustion and loss of appetite after spending too much time in either of them...possibly something in the air conditioner. As far as the breakfast goes the sausage was not sausage. It was a hot dog! Burned on one side so I couldn't cut through it. As to offer a free breakfast they had upgrades for five dollars more. In my opinion that should have been free too for as much as you pay for a room. The staff seemed lazy and unorganized. When I stay somewhere I do not want to see the staff eating together in the front lounge. Where they eat and work should be separate. The best thing about the place was our server the first night we stayed."

"My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was also beautiful. Two of the walls were completely glass through which was a beautiful view of the ocean and the surrounding forest. We also ate in at the hotel several times and we found their food to be delicious and reasonably priced. We will definitely consider this hotel again on our next trip to Costa Rica."
