Barrio Las Playitas Hotels, Puntarenas

"The elevator was broken, the air conditioning wasn't working properly, and the guest in the other room was drunk and shouting."

"For Costa Rica it was very very nice- the staff was excellent- had a wonderful trip"

"This is a top notch property with a top notch staff. From Ariela and Daniella in the front office to the dining team, it was a phenomenal experience. OPacifico Hotel Boutique, Paquera, Costa Rica is a must stay!"

"The room and facilities were clean, my only complaint would be the area itself, out of control of the hotel. There was someone sleeping on the sidewalk in front of the hotel when we arrived and there really isn’t much to offer in the area. We only stopped for the night to catch the ferry the next day and thought that there would be more to see. "

"Wonderful lodge! Liked it so much we rearranged our itinerary to come back for another night. Super quiet & scenic. Really enjoyed the pool, deck, restaurant, and seeing birds, monkeys and iguanas. Arrived too late for pizza the first night, but stayed to have it for lunch and it truly was delicious. However, learned later that Costa Rica’s ban on feeding wildlife extends to private property and bird feeders, so it would better not to feed the birds at all, or at least farther from the deck so macaws don’t swoop in for human breakfast food. "

"The headline doesn't lie--it's definitely a million-dollar view! Whatever the time of day, looking out towards the ocean was spectacular. The sunsets were incredible, and the waves were spectacular to watch. It provided the peace and relaxation we were hoping for! A couple of pointers for first-timers to the property:1. In order to have such a beautiful view in an unpopulated area, the location is remote. Make sure to do as much shopping for food, etc., as you can while on your way out. It takes too much time away from the trip if you don't, because traffic moves SLOWLY. 2. Hoyt is very responsive. Don't hesitate to reach out to him if there are any issues.3. Don't bother bringing too many clothes. You'll wear swimsuits most of the time.4. If you like ice cream, get your hands on some ChaRo brand ice cream (it's a Costa Rican brand) as soon as you can. We didn't discover it until late into the trip and we were sorry we didn't have more days to enjoy it. "

"It's a nice place to watch sunset. The staff is very friendly and nice. The pool is nice. You can walk on the beach but the water didn't feel clean for swimming "

"Fabulous place, beach and sun. National Park (refuge faunique national Curú) is so nice, see the beach. Breakfast and diner are very good. The best place during our travel across costa rica."

"We absolutely loved our stay here! So close to a gorgeous Sandy beach. We spent a lot time in the salt pool and in the water at the beach. Carlos and his wife are great and were available for eatery suggestions and activities. We will definitely be staying here again! "
