Puerto Carrillo
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (1 review)
"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...

"It is a very beautiful property with amazing views! The staff was very friendly. They were constantly cleaning. The food was great and reasonably priced. (We have had a hard time with finding good food for a good price in the previous places we stayed. The beach was incredible! It is a a tough drive on gravel would recommend a 4 wheel drive with good tires. We had a small car and had to go very slow. There is three creeks that need to be crossed we were okay because it is the dry hot season."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Islita?
The best area to stay in Islita is directly in the village of Islita, particularly near Playa Islita.

Islita is a small, coastal village, and staying in or very close to the village centre means you're right by the main beach, Playa Islita. This area is characterised by its natural beauty, with lush tropical vegetation meeting the Pacific Ocean. The village itself is quite compact, with a few local eateries and craft shops. The main draw is the beach and the serene environment.

Couples looking for a relaxing and private escape will find staying near Playa Islita ideal. The focus here is on unwinding amidst nature, enjoying the quiet beach, and perhaps indulging in activities like horseback riding along the shore or exploring the local art museum. The limited development ensures a peaceful stay, superb for reconnecting.

Families will also appreciate the convenience of staying right in Islita. With direct access to Playa Islita, children can enjoy the calm waters and sandy beach.
When is the best time to go to Islita?
The best time to go to Islita is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.

During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny weather and warm temperatures, making it ideal for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities. The Pacific Ocean is typically calm and clear, great for swimming, snorkelling, and paddleboarding. This period is also excellent for spotting local wildlife, as animals are more active and visible.

Travellers seeking a luxurious and relaxing escape will find these months particularly appealing. The consistent good weather ensures your plans aren't disrupted, allowing you to fully enjoy the resort amenities, pristine beaches, and excursions like boat trips or nature walks.
