Azul Hotel & Retreat

Cuajiniquil

10/10 Excellent

Me and my girlfriend came here for four nights before heading to Volcan Arenal. We stayed in the villa, which was less than 100 meters from the beautiful, private black sand beach. From the moment we arrived the staff (Juan Jose, Karina, Randall, Steven, Santos, Diana, Carlos) was incredibly friendly and accommodating; by the time we left I felt as though we were all on very friendly terms. The food was amazing as well; every meal we had exceeded expectations. I would definitely...

Hotel Boutique Lagarta Lodge

Nosara

10/10 Excellent

The roads getting to the property — and the Nosara area — were incredibly bumpy and rough. Once we arrived it was totally worth it. The staff was very friendly, they helped us with our Spanish, made it easy to schedule rides to town and activities offered. The restsurant was beautiful and the food was fresh and they had light healthy options. There is only 1 restaurant on site, so going into town for some meals was nice (La Luna has the best sunsets ever) The onsite pool were perfect—the views...

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...

Mundo Milo Eco Lodge

Veintisiete de Abril

10/10 Excellent

Our experience at Mundo Milo was everything we where looking for in Costa Rica. We wanted a more intimate surrounding which is what you will find here. From the monkeys jumping tree to tree to exotic birds flying around everywhere you turn. If your looking for more of a "party" atmosphere this location wouldn't be for you. It's a very nature based location with plenty of quiet time! My friend is a vegan and had meals prepared for her in just that manner at the restaurant on the lodge grounds....

Baliyana Lodge

Pinilla

10/10 Excellent

A very pleasant stay. A bit out of the way, but I suppose that is part of it's charm. A nice pool and relaxing environment. Breakfast was good, but not a lot of choice. Don't go there expecting a beach vacation as it is a 45 minute drive to the nearest beach. Road to the property is pretty rough, but that's typical of off the beaten path properties. The bungalows were very clean and comfortable. Owners were Francophones and communicating was occasionally a bit of a challenge. Unlike all the...

Sunset Shack Hotel

Nosara

10/10 Excellent

The Sunset Shack is the perfect place to stay for a surf trip in Nosara! It is quiet and chill compared to other places in the area, and it's a short walk down to the beach. Our room was very comfortable and a perfect size for our family. The staff is so friendly and attentive, and the food at Al Chile is fresh, delicious and nourishing. And reasonably priced. We so enjoyed our daily breakfasts and lunches. We also appreciate that the road is paved by the Sunset Shack as it keeps the dust down...
