Booked the hotel with out reccomendation. What luck!! The staff was so friendly.. spoke some English... and very helpful. We were given the Master Suite at a considerable discount because the hotel was fully booked. The Master Suite has two bedroom and two baths, a mini kitchen and a small living room. For two people it was way too much,... More

I just completed another trip to Costa Rica. I must say this was one of the most accommodating boutique hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff was über attentive and friendly. Aside from a 7.9 earthquake up the road a couple hundred kilometers everything was perfect. Ersel gave a nice two hour tour of Manuel Antonio national park that... More

I went for a family wedding and loved the place. You'll find the staff is strict about following policies but it's not their fault. The service is great and for the wedding everything was done properly. Had the suite which is great for up to 8 people, with lots of room, a small fridge and a microwave. The main pool... More

I was just down for the weekend and all i really wanted was a place with a window that opens up toward the beach. I was assured that the room opened up to the beach.... nothing was said; however, about the main hotel building that was between my room and the beach. no ocean view this trip! I was very... More

Stay out from here! I spent 3 nights at that “luxury” hotel just in front of the beach of Tampico, Mexico. Some friends recommend me the hotel because is close to some business that I had to attend. I made a reservation to arrive on Monday, and they immediately charged my credit card! But my travel plans changed and I... More

Be careful that you are not confusing this hotel in TAMPICO, Tamaulipas, Mexico (Formerly Brisas del Mar) with the Arenas del Mar near Quepos, Costa Rica. Several of the reviews are clearly NOT for the Tampico Property! This hotel along the Playa Miramar in Madero is great for families and budget vacationers, but if you are really looking for a...

The property is located on the beach at the bottom of the hill / mountain. It seemed that all the other hotels would require a cab to get to the beach. The Hotel experience was great. We were in Bldg 1 on the smaller private beach, which was the best in my view. Room was great, very clean, great views.... More

Stayed here for 4 nights with fam of 5 (kids: 22, 19, 11). It was pricey, but you got what you paid for. Hands down one of the friendliest, most helpful staffs I've ever stayed with. Every tour we booked from this hotel was stellar (Rafting, Zipline, National Park Nature Tour). But staying on site is great too, because you've... More
