"Beautiful oasis next to the beach. This was the perfect place to spend our honeymoon! Every morning we walked the beach then rinsed off and took a dip in the pool. We were so spoiled being served breakfast every morning to start our day. We were just as happy to stay locally as we were to travel. We saw birds, monkeys, even a raccoon! The room was spacious and we could enjoy the sounds of nature through the windows or close them and use AC. Every day was paradise. The owners were so lovely and...

Santa Juana Lodge and Nature Reserve

Naranjito

10/10 Excellent

Such a magical environment, all the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Allen’s passion for the forest and animals is contagious and encyclopaedic ; we learned so much. The property is surrounded by beautiful forests in all directions, and you eat breakfast watching hummingbirds and toucans. It’s truly incredible. Our car broke down around 7km before arriving to the lodge and Allen and his team could not have been more helpful or friendly. They kindly came and met us, helped jumpstart the car,...

Quepos

10/10 Excellent

What a find. Wife and I were looking for our place to “crash” the day after Christmas while en route from La Fortuna to Manuel Antonio Beach. Everything was booked as you might imagine during tourist high-season, but this property had the always-alluring “last room left” tag beckoning us to click. As we generally have 3.5 - 4 star taste while traveling, we thought this would be a standard room. Boy were we wrong - it was magic. Two bedrooms!! It’s own nature trail, butterfly garden and on-site...

My family and I stayed here for 6 nights and had the most amazing time! The property is absolutely gorgeous, peaceful, and just the right amount of isolation in the mountains. The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating, always checking to make sure you're having a great time. The excursions were fantastic, we highly recommend the white water rafting! I took my 6 year old daughter on it, and felt very safe with the expertise of our guides. If you are looking for a true getaway in nature,...

Parador Nature Resort and Spa

Manuel Antonio

10/10 Excellent

I gave this 5 stars because I have no doubt this was the best property in the area. The views are incredible and you are looking at the ocean while you are in the jungle. The free breakfast was a highlight for our family as we all spent time together eating both local and (US) standards. The dinners were equally delicious. To our surprise, the gift shop prices were very reasonable. That said, if you are expecting the kind of 5 star hotel you see in the States you might be disappointed. You might...

Beso del Viento - Adults Only

Parrita

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful small hotel (9 rooms) owned and managed by fun, warm and welcoming couple. The hotel is perfect for people who are looking for peace and quiet ( guest are in their rooms by 10pm) and most of the guest will be tired and ready to bed after the day activities in the sun, by that time. The ocean is across the un paved road in front of the hotel, and its beaches are long as the eyes can see. No umbrellas or beach’s chairs are provided. Bernard is a great chef and he prepared wonderful...

Posada El Quijote

Posada El Quijote is outstanding. The staff is friendly, attentive, and helpful, and the view of San Jose from the inn is outstanding. Bjorn and Alcides helped us book taxi rides, rent a car, find restaurants and attractions, and even upgraded our room and comped our airport transportation after a mixup with our arrival date. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the Costa Rican breakfasts will help jump start your day of exploring this beautiful country. If you're looking for an...

Clandestino Beach

Parrita

10/10 Excellent

My girlfriend and I thought the resort was incredible and one of the more tranquil beach locations we have ever stayed. There can't be more than a 35-40 person capacity with 2 rooms per beach house. Guests spoke a few different languages and primarily kept to themselves (great if you are looking to decompress). We were told the resort is less than 5 years old (stayed there Feb-16) and it definitely showed. The resort was well maintained and the housekeeping service did a great job. The...

My sister and I spent three nights at the hotel. We had an outstanding experience. The room and bathroom were modern and spotless and the beds comfortable. The room was a bit on the small side, but adequate. The staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating, whether it was to make reservations, get taxis, or even to get an excellent physical therapist/masseuse in on Christmas Day to help relieve the pain from a pinched nerve in my neck. The included breakfast by the pool had a nice...

Hotel Cocomar Beachfront Hotel

Cocomar is a wonderful retreat along a quiet beach, away from the hustle and bustle of nearby beach towns. We were greeted very warmly by the owner and staff, and our room was nice and clean with a balcony overlooking the gardens and the sizable pool - even a peek-a-boo view of the ocean. One of the two buildings is currently under renovation, so there were just a few other families staying at the hotel, creating an intimate, family feel - all the other guests were very friendly. They also...
