"Let me start by helping others avoid getting lost when finding this hotel/resort. When searching on Google, it directed us to a different location—but luckily, it was close to the actual hotel. Make sure to look for Villaggio Sueño al Mar, Flor de Pacifico #5 (the correct location). Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by security, who will direct you to the main office. I booked a villa for a family of four, which came with two bedrooms. The villa had a kitchenette, which made it more affordable to cook rather than eating out all the time. Housekeeping came by every other day to keep the place clean. Keep in mind, this place can be a bit loud—almost like staying in the rural areas of Costa Rica. You’ll hear birds chirping, iguanas running around the premises, cows nearby, and even howler monkeys. One of the best parts is its location: close to beaches, local restaurants called “sodas” in Costa Rica, and small markets. Just be warned—there are bugs, and they will make their way inside (ants and millipedes). Bring bug spray, because mosquitoes will find you. Aside from that, I truly enjoyed my stay at Sueño al Mar—from the friendly, helpful staff to the unique, almost jungle-like experience."

"Beyond expectations. Everyone was beyond accommodating. Best experience ever. Andy, Fernanda, Omer, Glen, Milton, Andres, Roberto, Christian, Ana Isabel, etc. We could not have asked for a better experience. "

"Right on the beach"

"I loved everything about my stay at Curiol except the fan in the tent. It could really be replaced with something stronger. Otherwise it was beautiful and peaceful. A wonderful way to start our stay in Costa Rica!"

"Lovely home. Three of the bedrooms are suites. Nice pool. Just a block from the beach."

"Ten of us ranging from 12 to 61 stayed for six nights in this beautiful house. There's nothing like being able to see and hear the ocean from your bed. The house is beautiful and super clean. The kitchen was decently stocked and the knives were even pretty sharp!We were really happy with our time there. I suggested that they add some blankets in the living room in case you want to get cozy watching a movie on the couch. I also suggested that they have some boogie boards or other beachy things on hand for the kids. Communication prior to our arrival was top notch. It could have been a bit better during our stay. But overall, I would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful house for your Costa Rica beach vacation. "

"We loved our stay in Las Catalinas! We stayed in a beautiful three-level, two-bedroom home with incredible views—sunsets from the balcony were unforgettable. The town itself is incredibly charming and totally walkable. Everything is thoughtfully designed, and it feels both upscale and relaxed. The only thing missing was a great boulangerie—while there is one in town, it was often nearly empty. A full boulangerie with more variety would be the perfect addition to this otherwise fantastic community. "

"Absolutely love this place. The hosts are wonderful, we had food cooked in the house 3 nights and Donna is a wonderful cook. Great restaurants only a golf cart ride away. We will be back! "

"Great location. The manager was super friendly and helpful. The room could not have been any cleaner and well prepared. It is a tremendous value."
