10/10 Excellent
"We had a great week at Esh! The staff was very friendly and attentive. We loved the property and the pool. We made use of the sauna and cold plunge daily. We even saw monkeys while hanging out on the property. Yeh breakfast was delicious and plentiful keeping us full to start the day. Although the probably is a bit outside of town, the shuttle service is convenient to get to and from t e Esh to town."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Zapotal?
The best time to visit Zapotal, Guanacaste is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny days with very little rainfall, making it ideal for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities. The Pacific coast of Costa Rica, where Zapotal is located, benefits from steady temperatures, typically in the high 20s to low 30s Celsius. This period is superb for those looking to relax by the ocean, try watersports, or explore the natural surroundings without the interruption of daily downpours.The shoulder months of May and November can also be a good option. While there might be occasional rain showers, especially in the afternoons, these are often brief and the landscape is lusher. You might also find slightly fewer crowds and potentially better value on accommodation during these times.
