"I really loved my experience at Pupa House, and it really was that perfect accommodation for my tamarindo experience. Incredibly kind and helpful staff, delicious smoothies at their cafe, and a refreshing pool. Staying in a capsule hotel was a fun and new experience, even for someone like me who's a little tall 😂"

Capitán Suizo Beachfront Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing experience across the board. Thank you to everyone at Capitan Suizo!"

The Palms At Coco Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in coco. The room was clean and well stocked. They have a convenience store in the lobby to buy anything you need. On site is a restaurant and bar. The pool is amazing and clean. You can literally stay at the resort and cover all the bases. Parking is just outside the facility and is free. A short walk (<2 mins) from the hotel you are in the main city for bars and fun, also the beach. The staff here is multilingual and very friendly. I highly recommend staying here. I know I’ll be back "

Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Truly enjoyed my stay at this Adult only property. Let's start with the food, Amazing!! Breakfast buffet, lunch and dinner was tasty. The staff from the front desk to the restaurant were very friendly and accomodating. The property was clean and safe. My only complaint was housekeeping. They were inconsistent with services and I complained to the front desk."

The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were so hospitable and accommodating! I was traveling with my partner for my birthday, and the hotel staff surprised us with wine and a birthday cake to my room free of charge! The food was good for the most part, although two of the eateries were closed due to construction, they also were very amenable to food allergies and restrictions (I have a gluten sensitivity). The grounds were absolutely gorgeous and they always have golf carts and buggies to shuttle you around. Resort activities are plentiful if you are staying on the resort. If you book an excursion, I suggest pre-booking as the resort company with the hotel only offers certain excursions on certain days and requires a minimum number of people. There are locals on the beach that offer excursions but if you are extra cautious, like myself you may be hesitant. I suggest booking one through a travel app, such as viator, expedia, or something like that. Overall, thoroughly enjoyed myself and would love to visit again!!!"
