"Very friendly staff "

"I would come back to this resort! Our room was nice and clean, although it had a stuffy slightly mildew smell… That might be partly because of the tropical environment? The beds were comfortable and we slept well and the AC worked well, too. The bar staff was amazing! They were extremely friendly and attentive and gave great service and the pools were all nice and clean. The Japanese restaurant was closed when we were there, and the steakhouse was not good at all, but we were very pleasantly surprised with the buffet options every morning and night! The front desk was attentive and responded to our needs promptly… There was an active hornet nest on our balcony that they removed within hours while we were down at the pool! The RIU Fun events were nice, although they never seemed to start on time. During the day while we were hanging out at the pool bar or lounging that didn’t really matter too much, but it would’ve been nice to know that we didn’t need to show up on time to the evening events because we ended up waiting around. Once we figured out that the timing of things went a little late, we adjusted our plans and had a great time!"

"Our stay at Hotel Bosque del Mar was pure relaxation from start to finish. The grounds and facilities are spotless, surrounded by lush tropical greenery that makes you feel completely immersed in nature. Everything — from the rooms to the pool area — was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The staff were incredible: friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a genuine smile. They made us feel welcome the moment we arrived and added such a personal touch to our stay. We especially loved spending time in the pool and hot tub, which were both pristine and perfectly placed for soaking up the peaceful surroundings. Each morning, we woke to the sounds of howler monkeys echoing through the trees — an unforgettable reminder that we were in the heart of Costa Rica. If you’re looking for a quiet, scenic escape with wonderful service and a touch of adventure, Hotel Bosque del Mar is the perfect choice. We can’t wait to come back!"

"Great desk and service staff, clean well maintained grounds, clean airy room, pool with swim up bar, steps from the beach. Good restaurant but close to many others as well. Shopping near by. Activities close by as well."

"We loved staying at this hotel, highly recommend! Very walkable, but also just a delight to spend time on the beautiful property. "

"We had an amazing time at Margaritaville Playa Flamingo! The staff were absolutely excellent — warm, welcoming, and always eager to help with anything we needed. The food was fantastic, with a great variety of delicious options at every meal. The views were truly breathtaking, and the beach right in front of the resort was beautiful — soft sand, perfect for relaxing. One thing to note is that the tide and currents can be quite strong at times, and it changes drastically throughout the day, which can make the beach look very different depending on the hour. It’s fascinating to watch but something to be mindful of if you plan to swim or take long walks along the shore. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a great place to unwind. I’d definitely recommend Margaritaville Playa Flamingo to anyone looking for a stunning getaway in Costa Rica!"

"Good vibe, nice atmosphere and calm place to stay! Would love to go back."

"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 "

"The property was very clean and the staff were very respectful and professional. It was an amazing experience overall. "
