"The staff was great, very helpful and accommodating! Two of the staff members went above and beyond! The food was really good. The room wasn’t as clean as I would have liked it. Seemed like the towels and bedding weren’t fresh, they smelled like someone used them. "
"The property is in an excellent location with easy access to the beach and local restaurants. The bungalow was spacious and comfortable for our family. We spent a lot of time on the patio and the pool was refreshing after a day on the beach. Dave was very helpful and made our stay easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend! "

Recientemente me hospedé en este hotel nuevo y bonito, ubicado en una excelente zona de la ciudad. Aunque la estructura es moderna y atractiva, lamentablemente mi experiencia se vio afectada por algunos problemas significativos.
La habitación era muy pequeña, lo que fue un poco decepcionante considerando el precio cobrado. Además, la ventana no tenía cortinas eficaces para bloquear la luz, lo que hizo que la habitación estuviera muy iluminada durante el día y la noche, dificultando mi...
"We booked this place got there and the gate was locked. Try honking calling them but no response.
You shouldn’t be able to book if it’s already closed "

Coco Flotante, Beachfront 4BR Villa w/ Pool & best ocean view
10/10 Excellent
"Coco Flotante is an iconic and idyllic beach house that made touchstone memories for my family of 5. The house itself is very large and has great indoor and outdoor spaces to spend time as a group or alone. Big, covered patios with dining and lounging areas, all with views, a huge kitchen and bedroom suites all with AC.The house caretakers and manager are friendly if you want to engage or have a request, and otherwise just make sure everything is good. During our stay, they cleaned the house and pool daily and helped with our needs and questions. Georgina helped us get to a turtle release at the beach that was unforgettable.The views from the house and property are incredible, across the Pacific, up the coast, and with no other people or houses in sight. Coconut trees, lawn, flowers, and the pool are beautiful. The beach is down a staircase, accessible and providing privacy.The beach itself has both sand and tide pools. We were able to walk down the beach to the end of Junquillal and back, a little under 3.5 miles (5.5 km). The closest store was fine for our needs, but lacking in much fresh produce. Plenty of other options within a short drive and also restaurants you can walk or drive to.Wildlife was a nice surprise for us. We saw iguanas, colorful birds, hermit crabs rolling in their shells down toward the beach, and Howler monkeys (Congos) walking through the trees in the evening."
"This was easily one of the best stays we’ve ever had. Café Playa Negra is everything a boutique hotel should be—warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully run. We were greeted like family and offered lime slush drinks that were pure bliss. Our room was spotless and beautiful, the meals were delicious, and the pool was a perfect escape.
Nixon was amazing—so kind and attentive, making sure everything went smoothly.
This place has heart. And by staying here, you’re supporting the real people of Playa Negra—not just a vacation rental owned by investors. We felt good knowing our visit made a positive impact. We’ll definitely be back."
Villa Esperanza - Luxury Beachfront Villa In Tropical Paradise
10/10 Excellent
"Agree with most of the previous reviews but would like to add a couple things we did. We had a family of ten 6 adults, 4 teenage kids. Working with Mary Diekers, the rental property manager, we employed a ten person van and driver to pick us up at the airport. Turns out he was also an excellent daily tour guide, setting up and driving us to zip line, ATV, horse back riding, and river cruise activities. His name is Jeffery Guevara, very friendly, speaks fluent English, and was knowledgable on everything Costa Rican. We also selected to have evening chefs cook dinner for us on three occasions. This was especially helpful after returning from a busy day of activities. Highly recommend Chefs Garrett Hurley and his wife. Their food preparation was incredible, much better than any restaurant. We also rented an SUV at the airport as kind of a back up. As stated by others the property is realatively isolated with bummpy dirt roads in and out. "

"Casa Mackay is spacious, clean and beautiful. The pool and outdoor kitchen are so lovely for a day in the backyard.It is a short walk to a secluded beach. We saw some monkeys along the walk :)Gabby responded very quickly to any questions we had. The house is well stocked. They had a cooler bag and chairs To take to the beach.
