"Hung up in unbelievable traffic in Santa Cruz, I was not able to check into the hotel until 7 AM the next day when they reopened. So I don't have the overnight experience one expects. That said, the room was very clean, the shower had good hot water, and I did get a morning nap on the bed. Fort7nately, it is off the road a bit. But noise carries and young Costa Ricans love their motorcycles. So if you are super noise sensitive that might bother you, but the traffic is really light on that...

10/10 Excellent
"We loved staying at this beautiful property. The house is clean and comfortable with lots of space to relax. The view is incredible and we loved hanging out in the pool listening to the howler monkeys and watching the hummingbirds and butterflies. The property is close to the beach and great restaurants. Communication was fantastic. We would highly recommend staying here and hope to return soon!"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to El Carmen?
The best time to visit El Carmen, Guanacaste, is during the dry season, which typically runs from December to April.

During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny days with very little rainfall, making it ideal for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities. The Pacific coast of Guanacaste is known for its warm temperatures year-round, but the dry season offers the most predictable weather for a stress-free holiday.

Couples looking for a romantic escape will find the dry season great for long walks on the beach, sunset dinners, and exploring the natural beauty without interruption. The clear skies and gentle breezes create a pleasant environment for relaxation and adventure.

Families travelling with children will also appreciate the dry season. The stable weather ensures that planned activities like swimming, surfing lessons, or wildlife tours are unlikely to be cancelled due to rain.
