First off, we were quite misguided by the photos, thinking the giant beautiful condo complex in the pic was where the rooms we would be staying in were. We arrived in our room and were literally the only people staying there (and still paying high season prices, although to be fair it does say dates on the site). The rooms... More

While not for everyone, Clarita's is perfect if you want a place with local flavor and comfortable facilities. Great private pool for hotel guests only. Neat bar and very good restaurant. Go someplace else if you want fancy and high class. Stay here if you want a place where local beach combing families come on the weekend but still have... More

Yes! On the beach, but a good 20 minute walk from town. Good crowded bar/restaurant. Over priced shabby room with free ganja fumes throughout the night. Bonus: every couple of hours someone would tap on the window with a key? Not sure what that was about, too scared to look! Air con, frig, fan, with curtains that looked like old... More

My husband and I stayed here for two nights on our honeymoon at the end of March. It was such a blast, and we really enjoyed the atmosphere of Clarita's!

It was my first time going to Costa Rica and after reading many reviews, I took a chance on Clarita's. I was not disappointed at all. the pool was refreshing. the room was clean and it included a safe, however, i left some valuables out and left for the day. I returned to find maids had serviced my room and... More

Four of us just finished a week at Claritas and enjoyed our stay. They were very helpful in helping us find a good skipper for 3 days of fishing (Capt. Jorge). The rooms were clean but nothing fancy. Just right for a bunch of old fishermen! The staff was great, cute as they could be and never stopped working serving... More
