Top Hotels Near Playa Tortuga in Bahía Ballena from AU$157

"An outstanding property; one of the best I have ever stayed at. The views are incredible, rooms are well kept and bar and restaurant are open 6a-10p. But you do need 4wd to get up the mountain on a rough road to it (faster is better) and the food is very healthy and may not be enough for everyone, but is delicious. Staff become family quickly. We'll be back."

"Wow what a place! It was marvellous from start to finish! The views spectacular! The staff are wonderful, we were served by Jose, Francisco and Roxy, they couldn’t have done anymore to make us feel special. The food was amazing each night, the attention to details from the chef is second to none. The rooms were cleaned meticulously too. I can’t recommend El Castillo enough. A truly magical slice of heaven! "

"Villas en el Bosque provided the perfect sanctuary for our family to unwind, relax, and fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of Costa Rica. The villa offered both comfort and space for our family of four. The owners were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. But what truly made this experience unforgettable was the breathtaking view. Our villa overlooked the lush forest, with a stunning glimpse of the ocean in the distance. Every morning, we enjoyed the natural spectacle right from our patio, where we were fortunate to spot Capuchin monkeys, vibrant Scarlet Macaws, lizards, and delicate hummingbirds fluttering nearby. The tranquil surroundings and exceptional hospitality made Villas en el Bosque a truly unforgettable retreat. It's a place where nature, comfort, and a sense of serenity come together to create an idyllic getaway."
