Meaning that if it did not sit on a fantastic beach, it would probably be closed! • People are unpleasant all the rest was poor. • The bar is nonexistent, • Safe box in rooms is totally unsafe. • For Wi-fi connection you have to wander around the premises searching for some sort of signal. Cheap family hotel where I... More

We stayed 3 nights this past week. Our room was clean but nothing to get excited about. The hotel is right on the beach and the surf is great. The restaurant that is the hotel is ok at best. Breakfast is included but it is minimal. The food on the menu is ok but there are better places to eat... More

I came with my husband and my girls, 8 and 2 years for New Years vacation. The room was average, very clean though and with a safe. I will recommend the hotel for surfers or travelers that want to experience a very down to earth vacation. Don't expect a Marriott or Holiday Inn experience, this hotel is for people that... More

Nice place. I've stayed here many times. Costa Rican style breakfast included with stay. Great location right on Playa Hermosa. Close to Jaco, yet far enough away to avoid all the conjestion. It's quiet here.

My boyfriend and I drove late into Playa Hermosa to stay here, as he had been here years ago on a surf trip. We saw signs for a "special walk-in discount" rate and we went to check them out. We had a guidebook with us that gave us an accurate price range of what we were expecting and they quoted... More

This was once a much better hotel, but the rooms are now a let down. It just needs a little updating - including new pillows (currently lumpy) and new sheets (currently 'bobbly') - and the whole experience would improve.

Playa Hermosa in Puntarenas is just south of Jaco. We spent six nights in this hotel and the staff and hotel deserve a great rating. It has a few frills, but really it's your basic hotel with location, location, location. The most redeeming quality outside of that is the truly warm, hospitable staff. I can't give you the depth this... More
