Barrio Las Playitas Hotels, Puntarenas

"The evening show was great. There were a lot of choices with the food. The staff were friendly and helpful. There were limited washrooms and one was closed most days. The pool smelled like pee. Renovations outside our room for the duration of our stay were noisy and dirty. WiFi is slow and all amenities info is online, so access to the needed information was lacking."

"Breakfast wasn’t good. Been here may times years back use to be buffet breakfast now you can’t choice anything same Menu for every one Very basic breakfast no options to choice. Air conditioning work very poor need to be updated as well. Room was ok but a little outdated no upgrades in the last 15yeas that I been visiting same run down furnitures. Staff is very friendly. There was a big inconvenience this stay there was no potable running water for an entire day. Clerk at front desk claim water pump was broken advise them that this issue is unacceptable they should have. Back up pump installed in case main pump fail. "

"It was probably the best hotel in the area. The room had a funky smell to it and the area didn't feel very safe. The restaurant was very good, though."

"I loved our stay. The only reason we gave the resort four stars instead of five is because the room simple but clean. The hotel is rustic, but if you want to see wildlife, there is nothing better. Troops of Howler monkeys fill the trees above. Birds are continually chattering and screeching to one another. Just sitting at the restaurant, you will see more animals than walking for hours at the national park The food at the restaurant was excellent. I particularly enjoyed their award-winning pizza. I would definitely go back again. Great value for the experience."

"Excellent location. Beautiful grounds and pools. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Service and food were excellent. It's a fantastic value for the price. I highly recommend this resort. I will go back there."

"It was heavenly across the board"

"Beautiful and intimate, Vida Mountain is a sanctuary tucked away from the noise of the nearest city. The food is spectacular and provide a wide variety of options for anyone. Bernice is a fabulous person and she runs this resort with great care and attention, while also respecting people’s quiet and solitude. Perfect for couples and those seeking a high end experience at a very respectable price. Spa, wellness center and hiking trails all onsite. "

"Parking was secure but not spacious. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was was clean but not as secure as I expected as door lock was not very good. "

"Everything was amazing! Alex was great and helped us out with anything we needed or had questions about! The dinners he cooked we're better than anything we had in a restaurant! Alex was like family by the time we left! We can't wait to go back!"
