We were there on the week of Thanksgiving 2007. Had been there the year before. For the price (427 US$ for the week) it is a good deal. Like others said, on the beach, 1 block off 5th Avenue, a good deal. Had problems with noise on the upper rooms. Talked to front desk after one night, and were moved... more

Three friends and I stayed 1 night at Costa del Mar in Nov 2007. This is great location, 1 block from 5th Ave. and right on the beach! The hotel is a value during low season rates. Rooms are clean but a bit sparse but that's OK as much time isn't spent in the room anyway. Costa del Mar has... more

If you like to be pampered and stay in resorts and can't speak any Spanish - don't stay here! This hotel is clean, on the beach, good cheap food on the beach, fun beach bar, nice people who don't speak English very well. Right next to Blue Parrot, so this is a party spot...you have your kids with you? You... more

Stayed at the hotel for 2 nights in room 23. The smell in the bathroom was awful but I guess we were lucky - our colleagues in room 25 had to deal with even more disgusting moldy smell. The shower was dripping and nothing in the room ever got dry. We were happy that our airconditioning didn't work. We heard... more

I stayed at the Hotel Colibri next door and the music was still loud...I had to keep all doors and window shut till 4 am everyday...only then i... more

Had reservations for Costa del Mar last Tuesday Feb 7 - 10. Heard by accident that there had been a fire at the Blue Parrot next door. Went to see the fire damage on Friday, February 3 and, lo and behold, Costa del Mar had extensive damage also. The beach bar was closed and under repair, the building adjacnt to... more

I booked a room at Costa del Mar two nights in advance (and pre-paid one night...cash as required) because my hotel accross the street (Tropicana Casablanca) did not have a room for the night in question, pending cancellation. According to their web site, Costa del Mar said that I could cancel within 24 hours. Subsequently, later that same day, the... more

We just returned from a great 5-night stay at the Costa del Mar. We were in room 23, lower level close to the office. Overall, we feel that this hotel is a very good value for the money. Following are the positives and negatives: POSITIVES: 1) The hotel is clean and you can't beat the location - right on the... more

After reading a post regarding overbooking during peak season I called today to verify our reservation that we made 5 weeks ago and confirmed with a Credit Card. Sure enough they we totally messed up. Had us in a Cabana room with no A/C for the first two nights, moving to a larger A/C room as reserved originally for the... more
