"Beautiful place. Away from the hustle of town. It was off season when we were there so it was very quiet. Restaurant was only open for breakfast and lunch. Pool was awesome. Lots of stuff to do during the day in the area and then head back for a relaxing evening. Monkeys would visit most afternoons. My daughter loved the resident cats and guard dog. The animals were as friendly as the staff. Thinking about bringing more family next year."

Top Playa Blanca Hotel Reviews

Hotel Punta Leona

10/10 Excellent

"We spent several days at this hotel, and everything was wonderful. The hosts were very kind, and the house was easy to access. My kids and I absolutely loved it—the cleanliness, the pool, everything was just as we expected."

Hotel Villa Caletas

10/10 Excellent

"Simply amazing"

Spectacular View 3 bedroom Ocean / Rainforest View Condo With Beach Club Pass

10/10 Excellent

"This condo was absolutely stunning, amazing views and was even better than the pictures. Probably the best place I’ve stayed at. Well equipped, host provides a lot of upfront information you may wonder about and communicates fast to answer any questions. Beds were super comfy, a/c was great and all amenities needed were on site and more."

Charming house with spectacular ocean views

8/10 Good

"Lovely Property with stunning views and plenty of room to admire the buaties of Costa Rica. The property is dated and could use some remodeling and ask for more money if they put in the effort. Communication with host was excellent and my family really enjoyed the location. Perhaps adding an A/C to the living room or better ceiling fans! Thanks we will be back."

New listing! Stunning views. Fifth floor apartment

10/10 Excellent

"Unit: Extremely large, which is great for big families. The kitchen is very well stocked with equipment and utensils. Everything works. The laundry machines in the unit work flawlessly. The bedrooms are great. The washrooms are great. The water pressure is decent - as per another review we had issues with low pressure of warm/hot water but honestly not a big deal in a 30 degree climate. Balcony is phenomenal and views are outstanding. The elevator is quite quick with no wait times. The pool (actually two pools connected by a slide) is not large but nice and clean. It is usually empty and my daughter enjoyed it greatly. Beach: Playa Blanca is crazy good. We’ve been all over Costa Rica on several occasions and have much to compare to. This is genuinely one of the best beaches I’ve been to ever, and probably the best in the country. Note that you DO NOT have access to the beach restaurant, restrooms, lounge chairs, etc. So be prepared to bring beach towels to lie on and whatnot for your comfort. Not a big deal, but I suppose it depends on the person. We brought an infant’s camping chair for our youngest and our oldest didn’t care to sit still. There is parking (for a steep fee) but since the unit is so close, it’s best to just walk. Fair warning - the hill is STEEP. 35 degree incline, probably. Best to take it sober…Would I stay here again? Yes!"

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed one week at the Punta Leona home. The house was very clean, had everything we needed to cook meals and plenty of outside seating to enjoy the pool and gorgeous sunsets! Our host, Wade was fantastic! Wade was very personable, quickly answered our questions, and provided several suggestions about excursions in the area. Our trip highlight was taking the one day cruise from Los Suenos to Tortuga Island where we had a wonderful experience. We snorkeled, swam and relaxed on the beautiful beach. The kids went on the banana boat ride and loved it! Another day the seven of us went zip lining not far from the home. We zip lined with the Carara Adventure Park Company and highly recommend them. Lastly, we recommend the Mangrove Monkey Tour and going to Manuel Antonio Park. Pura Vida!"

Beachfront condo - 16th floor whith stunning forest view. Steps to the beach.

Ocean view, full time staff, concierge services. Winner 2013 - 2026 top rental

10/10 Excellent

"We had never been to Costa Rica before so we didn’t know quite what to expect. Take the transportation from the airport. Once we got to the house, it was fabulous. The house is clean, and the staff are second to none. Every meal prepared for us was absolutely delicious. The views are spectacular and we very much enjoyed the infinity pool and the hot tub. The concierge service booked our excursions and arranged for transportation to pick us up at the house. We had 9 people in our group and created many beautiful memories for years to come. We very much hope to be able to come again and would definitely stay here again."
