Top Playa Gandoca Hotel Reviews

Bungalows Punta Uva

8/10 Good

"La ubicación es excelente y el staff bastante servicial. Como único punto por mejorar, la experiencia en la playa no fue del todo agradable debido al acceso de vehículos particulares y al desorden generado por personas ajenas al hotel, lo que resta un poco de tranquilidad al entorno."

Almonds and Corals Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"SE DISFRUTA PURA NATURALEZA, SIN RUIDOS DE MUSICA U OTROS."

Pangea Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel has everything you need: proximity to the beach, AC, a kitchen and a pool!"

Beachfront Bungalows Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff and the property is reminiscent of a resort more so than a hotel/stay. Access to beach is extremely easy, attached to the backside of the property, though the beachfront is not 'developed' or 'set up' so do not expect a resort-like sun-chair set up. Excellent location if you want to be away from the hustle bustle of puerto viejo, but still biking distance to get to all the shops and cafes. Fabiano at the front desk, and Rosita for breakfast service, were both absolute delights and extremely helpful :)"

KAÑIK APART HOTEL

10/10 Excellent

"This is wonderful location. It is away from the busy areas with a 5 minute walk to the beach. The property was beautiful and the hosts were amazing."

Faith Glamping Dome Costa Rica

8/10 Good

"The glamping domes are not for those looking for a hotel with all of the amenities. It is glamping. The domes are smack dab in the middle of a forest surrounded by lots of nature. The ocean is steps away with a very private beach. The water was pretty rough in June, but still beautiful. Breakfast was delicious. The showers at the domes are cold water only; however, there is a separate hot water shower on the grounds. The zipper and small opening to some of the domes can be difficult to move in and out of (some have larger doors). Overall, it was okay."

Exōtico Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely space… lovely staff … great restaurant … a wonderful stay complete with tree frogs!"

Casa Yamann

10/10 Excellent

"This was a beautiful, quiet stay with nearby restaurants and a convenience store close by! Nice pool too "

Casa Coral Azul

10/10 Excellent

"The house was in great condition, kitchen had plenty of plates, cups, pots and pans, utensils, rice cooker, everything. Pool was clean and refreshing. Lots of room for the family for a few days."
