Artola Holidays from £1,199

Excellent place to stay

The property and villas were stunning! Staff was very knowledgeable and attentive. Everyone knew us by name! Loved having breakfast included with many delicious options. Having a stand alone villa was a treat. No noisy neighbors! We spent a couple mornings at the main pool and usually ended up in our plunge pool in the afternoons. The views from everywhere are amazing! Although we loved our Sunset Villa, it was warm in the late afternoon when trying to get ready for dinner. No way to block out the sun in the bathroom. The town of Las Catalinas was a bit of a let down. Maybe because we were there off season but other than a few restaurants, there wasn't anything going on. No shops or entertainment. Pretty beach but no place to rent beach chairs and make a day of it. The only excursion we did was a coffee/chocolate tour at Tio Leo Coffee. Highly recommend! It was about 1 hour away. Very relaxing trip, which is what we were looking for. Casa Chameleon made us feel very special.

Hotel Riu a wonderful place to stay with family. The room was clean, amenities were nice. The only observation we had was some restaurants were closed, and due to the food was great, reservation to restaurants will be highly suggested. But nevertheless, our stay was perfect.

Couldn’t recommend Hotel Bosque del Mar enough if you’re looking for a more private, quiet style of stay. It’s the perfect mix of jungle and beach access. The beach is beautiful, clean, and feels very private. One of the coolest parts of staying here was the wildlife — howler monkeys hanging out in the trees, iguanas everywhere, and the whole atmosphere truly feels like you’re staying right in the jungle while still being steps from the beach. The service here is truly exceptional. From beachside service, poolside service, and room service to helping arrange transportation and activities, the staff goes above and beyond to make your stay stress-free and relaxing. They also offer rental kayaks and paddle boards, which made the experience even more fun and convenient. Everyone here — from the front desk staff to maintenance — was incredibly polite, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. Carlos was especially excellent: attentive, kind, professional, and always willing to help with anything we needed. He truly made our experience even better. The property is extremely well kept and maintained daily. The food was delicious, especially the breakfast (which says a lot because I’m a huge breakfast foodie). The rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed with a relaxing aesthetic. Pure tranquility from start to finish. We’ll absolutely be staying here again!

Mi estadía en Azura Beach Resort fue simplemente espectacular de principio a fin. Honestamente, ha sido una de las mejores experiencias que he vivido en un hotel en Costa Rica. Desde el momento en que llegamos, nos hicieron sentir especiales, bienvenidos y completamente relajados. El ambiente del hotel es hermoso, tranquilo y perfecto para desconectarse y disfrutar cada segundo. La comida fue absolutamente deliciosa todos los días. Cada restaurante tenía opciones increíbles, todo fresco, bien preparado y con una atención impecable. Se nota la dedicación y el esfuerzo que ponen para que cada huésped tenga una experiencia inolvidable. Todo estuvo mucho mejor de lo que imaginábamos. Pero lo que realmente hizo esta experiencia única fueron las personas. Quiero agradecer especialmente a Axcel, Wendy y Christian por hacer nuestra estadía algo fuera de otro mundo. La atención, la amabilidad, el cariño y la energía con la que nos trataron fue algo que nunca había vivido en otro lugar. Siempre atentos a cada detalle, siempre con una sonrisa y haciéndonos sentir como en casa. Personas así hacen toda la diferencia y definitivamente son parte de la razón por la que este hotel es tan especial. Nunca me había sentido tan cómoda, feliz y bien atendida en un resort. Cada día superaba al anterior y realmente lograron convertir unas vacaciones en recuerdos inolvidables. Se nota cuando un lugar tiene personal que trabaja con pasión y que le gusta lo que hace.
