My wife and I stayed two nights at Hotel Lookout. The hotel sits at the top of a hill with a very steep, long and rock (not stones) road. We wondered where in the world this treacherous road was leading. We booked a deluxe room, but soon realized that the room didn't have air conditioning or a tv. The owner was able to give us an upgrade to a room with AC and a tv for an additional $25/night. The room was big, but the AC worked, but not as good as all the other hotels we stayed at. The toilet handle would continuously get stuck and we would have to jiggle the handle to get it to fill and stop running continuously. There were also several ants in the room and couldn't tell where they were coming from. The wi-fi signal was also very weak. We could only ever get 1 bar of signal strength in our room.
The hotel gardens are beautiful which was our favorite part of the property. The pool was nice, but small. We had breakfast included with our stay. The breakfast on the first morning was good, but the staff was stingy with the coffee and we didn't get juice. The second morning was better with coffee refills and juice. Not sure what happened between the 2 mornings because the same staff member served us.
Also, there's not much to do unless you drive about 2 miles to Ojochal or 8 miles to Uvita.
As I stated earlier, the hotel was nice, but could have been better. I would neitherencourage nor discourage anyone from staying at Hotel Lookout.
