"We were greeted when we pulled up and helped with our luggage. Check in was easy. The staff extremely helpful and nice. We were given a tour of the property while our luggage was taken to our room. There were bikes to use as you wanted. A nice swimming pool. Surf boards for lessons. A surf school on property. The room was large and clean. The AC only in the bedroom. Coffee maker. Dishes/glassware. We had reusable water bottles waiting for us in our room. Pack this souvenir on your way home. No TV. The only TV is in the game room. The walk to the beach was a little murky and definitely would not walk the path at night. Breakfast was good. The restaurant on site also had a variety of selections. The downtown area is a manageable walk, but if you drive, there is plenty of parking in the area. On our last night, we handed over our dirty clothes and, at no cost, were given back clean clothes within a few hours. Didn't have to drag home dirty clothes. Relaxing, eco friendly hotel. Would definitely recommend and stay again."

"This is our Second time staying here. This time was an unexpected trip with no reservations made. Husband is handy capped and they were very professional and helpful in assistance of golf cart rides back and forth to car. Front Desk guys were very friendly and professional and very quick to reply via whatz app with any questions. Highly recommend the stay and ask for a water view! The view is beautiful! Rooms are always clean and the pool is amazing!"

"SOLO TRAVELER REVIEW OMG where do I even begin. this place is indeed as wonderful as it looks and as amazing as the other reviews state it is. the staff all knew me by name literally within the first day. this hotel has an energy that allows your nervous system to completely relax. the aesthetics, the lighting, the music. as a solo traveler without a vehicle, the shuttle was perfect, it leaves from the hotel every hour on the hour from 8am-6pm and it has I think 5 stops around guiones and playa pelada. I also walked a lot which was fine and took lots of tuk tuks! (local "taxis"). The daily yoga classes were so lovely and grounding, and wonderful for all levels, even beginners. The daily breakfast was great, lots of options, and the included OJ was 10/10. Overall this hotel exceeded all my expectations and thank you to all the staff! Only thing I could say is that I wish the staff had name tags because they all remembered my name but I could not remember all theirs : )"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Zapotal?
The best time to visit Zapotal, Guanacaste is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny days with very little rainfall, making it ideal for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities. The Pacific coast of Costa Rica, where Zapotal is located, benefits from steady temperatures, typically in the high 20s to low 30s Celsius. This period is superb for those looking to relax by the ocean, try watersports, or explore the natural surroundings without the interruption of daily downpours.The shoulder months of May and November can also be a good option. While there might be occasional rain showers, especially in the afternoons, these are often brief and the landscape is lusher. You might also find slightly fewer crowds and potentially better value on accommodation during these times.
