The Beach Break Surf Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the location! The bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. Right in the heart of town it was easy to walk to any restaurant and easy walk to the beach! We will be back!!!"

Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"AZURA Beach Resort is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, the superb staff made us feel so welcome with their A+ customer service. Every bartender and staff member was incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive. A really nice touch was how well they honor Expedia VIP customers—they even gave us a separate "Expedia VIP Customer" wristband, which made us feel truly appreciated! The rooms were spotlessly clean, and the resort property itself is magnificent. As an all-inclusive resort, the food was delicious and the drinks were fantastic. Keep in mind that it is about a 2-hour drive from the main airport, and the resort focuses on pure relaxation rather than high-energy entertainment. But if you want a peaceful, high-quality retreat, it is 100% worth the stay. We loved it!"

The Gilded Iguana Surf Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was great especially Francisco! He was excellent !!! The rooms were extremely clean and the breakfast was very good! Would stay again"

Hotel Boutique Lagarta Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property and extremely helpful staff. We loved it!"

Esh Hotel and Spa, a Member of Design Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"The property is beautiful and the staff was very friendly."

Domo Nosara Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"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!"

Residencias Samara

10/10 Excellent

"We had a late flight and arrived late, but were given excellent directions which made checking in seamless and easy. The location was close to the beach, very convenient, clean and quiet. We loved our stay here!"

Nammbú Beachfront Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"I love this place. The location is excellent just near to the quiet beach. Infinite pool is awesome"

Sendero Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is an excellent experience. All the staff was incredibly helpful, the room was impeccable, the restaurant was delicious, and the amenities were exactly what we needed. We enjoyed the small details—sweet treats in the afternoon, watermelon water, post surf showers. Also shout out to Carlos, our surf instructor, for getting us up on boards immediately, his storytelling, and his unfettered joy."

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.
