"Fantastic place to stay. We were so close to all the excursions we wanted to do. And the beach is literally right there! Pools were clean and fun! Would 100% go back!"

Villas Sol Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay. Great views from balcony and restaurant. Staff were very attentive in restaurant. Quick shuttle to beach and back. We enjoyed our stay so much at the beginning of the trip we decided to book a couple of days at the end of our vacation as well. The second stay had much better mattress"

Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

8/10 Good

"The staff were amazing. The location is right on the beach and we could see and hear the waves from our balcony. Nice, clean, laid back place."

Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa

8/10 Good

"Great staff, beautiful pool. Incredible food in the restaurant. But the elevator is broken (and apparently has been for months). Looks like they have no plans to fix it, since we noticed the staff storing cleaning supplies in it. We had to move to a first floor room (from the Nyuri Penthouse Suite) when my husband got into an accident in Costa Rica and could no longer use the stairs. Very disappointing that the management company doesn't consider this a priority."

Hotel & Villas Huetares

10/10 Excellent

"The facilities are well maintained and meet the advertised features. As one improvement, it would be good to have a small table and chair inside the rooms, as it is sometimes necessary to get some work done. Although there is a table outside, the heat during the day sometimes makes that difficult. As another improvement, I suggest reviewing the cleanliness of the pillows — some of them have an unpleasant smell."

Hotel Villa Acacia

10/10 Excellent

"The Hotel was nice and clean and the food was good and the staff was great."
