"Our host Jason went out of his way to ensure we had a good stay at his place. We had support in getting to use a local pool, with groceries and transportation to our next location to mention a few. If you need local insights and super hospitality then go with Jason. The location is in a quiet local neighbourhood and it feels safe to have kids running around outside. Walking to the beach is possible, but can be a bit hard for little ones up to 4 years old (especially considering the heat). Go to...

"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...

"I had such a lovely stay at this cute little studio in Puerto Carrillo. The space was cozy, clean, and had everything I needed for a relaxing getaway. The real highlight was the shared pool—perfect for cooling off after a day at the beach or just lounging with a book. The neighborhood felt safe and peaceful, and it was just a short drive to Playa Carrillo, which is absolutely stunning. If you're looking for a quiet, charming spot to unwind, this is it!"

Entire luxury private villa overlooking the Pacific with cook and onsite staff
10/10 Excellent
"Casa Iscaja is magical! It is beautiful, so well kept and has everything you would need for a relaxing getaway. The onsite staff was wonderful. We enjoyed a home cooked breakfast every morning. What a treat! The weather didn’t cooperate for part of our stay and both the onsite house staff and owners were so kind to compensate us with a complimentary dinner. There were many fun local activities. Our favorites were surf lessons and an ATV tour through the jungle. We traveled with our 2 teenage sons and highly recommend this home and Puerto Carrillo!"
"This hotel is peaceful and perfect for a couples vacation. The housekeeping wasn’t really cleaning for example our sheets became dirty instead of them changing the sheets they made the bed up with the exact sheet on opposite side, they left the garbage and the cups of alcohol that were left on the mini fridge. Other than that the property is amazing food is amazing bartenders will have those drinks coming. It wasn’t to crowded as it is a small all inclusive resort. I will definitely be staying there again."

Beautiful Villa, private pool, amazing gardens! Walkable 5 bedrooms
10/10 Excellent
"This gorgeous villa is exactly as described with simple amenities in an extraordinary setting. The kitchen contains basic cookware and kitchenware, and there is no air conditioning in the living ares, as is in the description. But there is all important AC in the bedrooms, daily cleaning and evening security. There are a number of extra security measures in place, we did as we were asked and had zero issues. The house and grounds are beautiful - the pool area feels very private, even though the house is located in a very pleasant quiet neighborhood with other houses and restaurants a short distance away. You could spend your entire vacation in the shade of the veranda on the back of the house by the pool and feel like you found paradise. Great for the kids. There is high quality, comfortable solid wood furniture inside an out. Jackie was an attentive host. She gave us a lot of guidance before we arrived on what to bring and how to get there, promptly answering all questions. She arranged to meet us in person shortly after we arrived to give recommendations on things to do in the area, and we had a lovely time just talking to her. There was plenty wildlife around the yard to keep us entertained all day. We were fortunate enough to catch the change over from the dry to rainy season quite literally in the middle of the week we were there, and watched the whole landscape and surroundings change with emerging green and all kinds of animals and insects in a matter of days."
"Located about a mile and a half outside Playa Carrillo Beach, tucked away in a small community. This place offers peace and serenity for those searching for it. The backyard is a peaceful oasis offering a wonderful plunge pool, hammocks, charcoal and gas barbecue grills, plenty of seating for as many as 12 or more. The inside is spacious and quaint. It's like a little mountain Casita with some modern features. You have the option for open air concept here or you can use two of the mini splits they have on hotter days. Host is extremely responsive. The property is clean and well maintained. Maid service is offered as part of the package. I strongly encourage you bring a car. If you are not using a car there is a local cab driver named Jabier; the host will have his contact info. If you do get a chance to meet Jabier, he makes and sells some of the best of ceviche we've had in all of Costa Rica.We spent a total of 13 days here and it was absolutely what we needed to recharge before going home. The beach is small and beautiful and not crowded. There are food vendors across from the beach. There are multiple grocery stores and there is a carneceria in town. Leyenda hotel offers a restaurant open to the public that has a massive variety. This is definitely staying on our list of repeats. What a hidden little gem!"
