"Our host Jason went out of his way to ensure we had a good stay at his place. We had support in getting to use a local pool, with groceries and transportation to our next location to mention a few. If you need local insights and super hospitality then go with Jason. The location is in a quiet local neighbourhood and it feels safe to have kids running around outside. Walking to the beach is possible, but can be a bit hard for little ones up to 4 years old (especially considering the heat). Go to...

"Hung up in unbelievable traffic in Santa Cruz, I was not able to check into the hotel until 7 AM the next day when they reopened. So I don't have the overnight experience one expects.
That said, the room was very clean, the shower had good hot water, and I did get a morning nap on the bed. Fort7nately, it is off the road a bit. But noise carries and young Costa Ricans love their motorcycles. So if you are super noise sensitive that might bother you, but the traffic is really light on that...

"Room was clean, AC was great. Check in and check out process were simple. The place was easy to find. However, we booked this place entirely because of the laundry services, but they were never provided. The host also didn’t reply for over 24 hours. "

"I had such a lovely stay at this cute little studio in Puerto Carrillo. The space was cozy, clean, and had everything I needed for a relaxing getaway. The real highlight was the shared pool—perfect for cooling off after a day at the beach or just lounging with a book. The neighborhood felt safe and peaceful, and it was just a short drive to Playa Carrillo, which is absolutely stunning. If you're looking for a quiet, charming spot to unwind, this is it!"

"We enjoyed our stay at Hideaway. The house made brownie is delicious! We enjoyed the waterfall in the pool, and Samara beach was a short walk away. The staff was friendly and the food at the restaurant delicious. This place had the best ceviche!"

"Great staff, very friendly and helpful. We felt very safe and welcomed. The food was excellent! Service was quick. Overall definitely recommend Azura!"
"I appreciated that a hotel as lovely as this was still welcoming to families. Breakfast was delicious. We recommend going to local restaurants for lunch and dinner - Il Pepperoni and Al Chile were favorites. We also appreciated the monkey bridge that brought a family of 20+ monkeys to the tree next to our room! A trip highlight. Our final morning we visited Sibu Wildlife Refuge and it was incredible."
"What can I say? This was the R&R that was much needed - secluded, sophisticated and sleek! Domo Nosaro is located on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, about 90 mins south of Tamarindo. The roads are lush with foliage - and the small stretch leading up to Domo is rough terrain, it is only for about 3 mins - and once you have reached the lodge, you will be well rewarded with its sheet beauty.
Check in was a breeze (and in fact we were slightly early - and we were immediately welcomed and provided a room). A few small handy notes: (i) there is no elevator, so luggage has to be carried up - no worries though, as the helpful staff will lend you a hand; (ii) there is no onsite cafe - no worries because the Sunrise cafe and other choice eateries such as Pulpo, are literally a stone's throw away - and their food is on point; (iii) there is no TV because this is an eco-lodge designed for seclusion - no worries though as the wifi is strong and you will be instragramming every 5 seconds anyway!
What you will see the spectacular lounge areas overlooking the salt water pool - the temperature is just right (neither warm nor cold - just superbly comfortable) - and pool and beach towels are provided. The rooms are luxurious in a Mediterranean style that truly makes you feel like you got away into the lap of luxury - and the windows overlook plants that are teeming with butterflies and birds! The sound of howler monkeys wakes you up in the morning - and time just flies...wish I had longer!"
Your Dream Costa Rica Villa - Ocean View Lap Pool - Private Chef-Secret Beach
10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at this home during our first trip to Costa Rica. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the owner was very communicative and helpful while preparing for our visit.Alexandria and Sonia were exceptional—always kind, welcoming, and discreet while keeping the home spotless. Their hospitality truly enhanced our experience. Having a washer and dryer was also a huge convenience, especially with all of the activities our family enjoyed during the week.The living room, foyer, and kitchen are not air-conditioned, but each bedroom has A/C, which made for very comfortable sleeping.For future guests, it’s worth noting that if you’re hoping for an easy, safe walk to a swimmable beach where you can spend the day, this may not be the best fit. The beach access was farther than we expected, and we didn’t feel comfortable making the walk with our family, so we relied on drivers instead. Fortunately, we spent most of our time enjoying the beautiful pool, which worked out perfectly for us.Our airport driver initially had difficulty finding the home using the original location provided, but the owner responded immediately via WhatsApp with an updated GPS pin. Once we received it, navigation was easy for the rest of our stay.Overall, this home was exactly what we were looking for. If your priority is stunning views, outstanding hospitality, and a peaceful place to relax, you’ll have a wonderful stay."

"The host was easy to communicate with. Property was beautiful, had everything we needed. Check in process was super easy. We loved the shops and restaurants close by. We had an issue with money missing from several of our guests, an unresolved issue that put a damper on our trip but besides this issue everything was perfect. Would definitely stay here again."
"Beautiful home and property! Amazing view! Maria is spectacular!! Waking up to coffee made and then a wonderful breakfast home made. She also will make the best dinners for you on request!! She is the best part of this already amazing home. Can’t say enough. I would make sure you have a car since the main beaches are 1-3 miles away."
