This hotel offers a fantastic experience in Puerto Armuelles, with clean and comfortable rooms along with a friendly and attentive staff. The location directly by the beach provides beautiful ocean views and a relaxing atmosphere. While there isn't a ton to do in the immediate area, the delicious food and lovely amenities make it worthwhile. One downside is the internet connection could use improvement, but overall it's a great value for a memorable stay.

Overall, my stay at the hotel was enjoyable thanks to the amazing staff and clean, comfortable accommodations. However, the experience was somewhat marred by issues with noise from neighboring rooms and limited dining options in the area. The location offered a beautiful beach view, but the cleanliness of the beach itself left something to be desired.

My stay at Big Daddy's was a mix of highs and lows. The staff were incredibly welcoming and those ocean views from my room were breathtaking. However, the dining options left a lot to be desired, and the pool wasn't as inviting as I hoped. Overall, while there were enjoyable aspects, I would urge travelers to consider a few factors before booking.
