Best Western Hotel & Casino Kamuk

The Best Western Kamuk will exceed your expectations as it did mine. I went with my family for a nice getaway for a week and decided on a more central stay in Quepos. What we found was a gem amidst all the options to stay and highly and only recommend it. The staff is super kind and engaging. They care about every aspect of your stay and are warm and welcoming. The Mira Olas restaurant is some of the best food I have ever had. The view is stunning, especially as the sun goes down over the waves, the food is perfectly prepared and super fresh and is responsible for my coming home with a few extra pounds in the best way! The rooms are super comfortable and having seamless wifi was a rare gift we enjoyed. My family and I will be back and very excited to do so. Super affordable and for the amount of attention and care we received, it is an absolute steal for what you get versus what you actually pay. The breakfast alone is worth the stay and the pool is wonderful, warm and just what you need after a chaotic trip to Manuel Antonio. The national park is a great place to visit but you need to fight your way past the 'guides' that are throwing themselves in front of your car to make you park. Had it not been for the staff at the BW Kamuk giving us a ton of great advice, we would have not only parked WAY too far from the entrance, but been swindled out of money by the false guides. The staff made our Quepos leg of the trip truly amazing! If you plan a trip to Quepos, do yourself the favor and stay there! less

The rooms were hot, the water would cut off in the middle of a shower. The breakfast was terrible the cereal had ants in it, the pancakes were like cardboard. The staff at the front desk were very friendly. less

This hotel was a dismal disappointment, not up to the best western standards. upon arrival to our room, we were not walked to our room and had difficulty locating it. eventually we found we had to go up another staircase (no elevator to these rooms, no offer to help us haul our luggage up the full staircase). the room was small and smelled of mold. there were many flying insects in the room, no wonder as the window in the bathroom had been left open without a screen. the closet had a small safe too small for a laptop that required a old fashioned key to be purchased from the front desk. the windows didn't close all the way and there were consequently holes left open to the outside between the window and the wall. there was no minibar and no waters in the room, leaving us to go outside to find water to brush our teeth. the drawers were molded and unusable. there were dead insect carcasses on the floor. (not meant as a dig on the maid service, the room had clearly been cleaned, but with the tropical climate and the open windows, insects dying was an inevitability. Because of the open window onto the busy street, the room was impossibly loud with every drunken screaming passerby waking you up from sleep. the bed was hard and lumpy with insects under the sheets. there were no blankets on the bed only one sheet to cover. after calling the front desk, they informed me there were cheap pilled molded blankets in the closet. the pillows were all overstuffed and hard. they were also of a strange shape - square? impossible to rest on. the bathroom was a 90s tile horror unto itself. The toilet was industrial with exposed piping but the flush was so weak you were left with a lighter colored version of what you had tried to flush. the sink was extremely old and cracked. while there were tissues there were no other bathroom amenities. they had some hand soap in an industrial dispenser on the wall which was almost empty. there were too few towels in the room. the shower was grungy and the doors to the bathroom were rusted. The shower head looked to be >20 years old. when i turned my shower on with grungy moldy handles, the water was initially brown. then it completely shut off and refused to work again. i used my neighbor's shower in the room next door and while water did come out of the spout, it was barely more than a trickle and it was impossible to wash one's hair. low pressure would be too kind a description. I've had better showers in garden sprinklers. Pros: the front desk staff had hot coffee for our early departure at 5am (we missed the complimentary breakfast). great location. the restaurant upstairs was nice and had good food. the air conditioning unit in the room did work. less

This was not what i was expecting, parking space (very limited to 6 cars aprox.) is 1 block away the hotel. The area in general is very loud, specially at night, you can barelly sleep (my room was a street view room). Again at night, prostitutes are right in the corner of the hotel. Book for 2 nights, just stayed there one and left. less

The hotel was clean and the personal were excellent. It is very secure and centrally located. Price is good. I always stay there because of this. Very close to Manuel Antonio and Dominical. I would definitely recommend this hotel for your stay. less
