Hotel Villa del Sueño

10/10 Excellent

"This was a wonderful hotel to stay at. We totally enjoyed our week here. The staff was warm and welcoming. The room was great. The pool was great. The restaurant was wonderful. The chef quality food was awesome! We ate there every day. Cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay there. We were in the area for our residency visa appointments. If we are back in the area again, we would stay there in a heartbeat. This is truly a hidden gem."

Hotel Villa Del Sol

"Excelente ubicación, habitaciones limpias y con todo lo necesario"

Ocean-View Villa Just Minutes from the Beach – Pure Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of 8 just returned from a 9-day trip to Costa Rica, and it ranks among the best vacations our family has ever taken. Costa Rica delivered on every front: incredible adventures, amazing food, and a gorgeous house.What made this trip truly special was the team who supported us throughout. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely taken care of. The concierge team helped us plan our excursions and meals each day and were always available to answer questions — no matter how big or small. Victor, our driver, was an absolute gem: professional, warm, and always with a smile on his face. We never once worried about navigation or logistics, which meant we could simply be present and enjoy every moment together. Maria, our housekeeper, prepared a traditional Costa Rican breakfast for us each morning, and it was delicious every single time. The chef rounded out a team that made our whole vacation feel effortless and extraordinary.The house itself is stunning. The sunset view from the pool is the kind of thing you have to see to believe — we took what felt like a thousand photos! Whether we were out on excursions, exploring local restaurants, or doing absolutely nothing by the pool, every moment felt special. The downtime here is every bit as good as the adventures.If you're looking for a place where the house, the setting, and the people all come together perfectly - this is the place!"

Café de Playa Beach Front Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This trip was a quick four day trip to Costa Rica. I just wanted a clean room on the beach. It was very economically priced. The room was clean and spacious. This is not the normal resort or hotel I would stay in but it was excellent for what I was looking for on this trip. I usually stay at nicer much more expensive, all inclusive resorts where its a mile to the food, or beach. This one is right on the beach. About a 15 minute walk or $4 Uber ride to town. That allowed for us to sample the local food and drinks off-property. There's a pool which I didn't use. There's an on-site restaurant/bar. The staff is amazing. No frowns and everyone was super helpful. I know a little Spanish and some of the team knows a little English. Most of them speak English. Freddy and Angel at the bar were very attentive and helpful. I didnt see the inflated prices some guests complained of at the bar. Service was excellent. Freddy brought us chairs and drinks to the beach. Angel checked on us for drink orders. Sunsets here are amazing!"

"The house is amazing. But that Rooster has got to go. Pay the neighbors to get rid of their chickens so the Rooster will go elsewhere. Starts at 3 am and lasts until 7am. Super loud next to house. I could not sleep through it. I would love to return. But that Rooster is a big problem for me."

10/10 Excellent

"The pool, location, and view made this the perfect stay for our group. Beautiful! We took adventure of having groceries delivered prior to our arrival and were so glad we did. Made our arrival so much easier!The things that would have made this stay better: more chairs/comfy chais on the front patio to enjoy as a group, cleaning supplies and kitchen items (tin foil/related items, pans, spices), and the coffee makers didn’t seem to work well."
