Great spot for a beach day

Stayed here with my family of 4. We had a great time. Staff was very friendly, restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Beach is literally right outside, beware of rip currents. Surfers paradise!

Beautiful beachfront hotel with wonderful ocean view from our room. Just a few steps from the beach and is pet friendly. Vida Hermosa just a short walk and had excellent food and is dog friendly also. Staff was very pleasant and even helped with our luggage.

This property is very well kept, Draco one of the dogs loves playing with Sticks. My son had the best time playing with him. The breakfast they cooked and delivered to the room was fresh and amazing. Close to the town.

Good option! Great for kids

The backyard is really amazing, with a nice pool and wonderful view to the beach. Unfortunately they can’t offer breakfast. It isn’t a modern house but it’s in good conditions.
Guilherme, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice location along Playa Hermosa, which has black sands and great waves for surfing. Nice pool for swimming - the beach itself is not a good swimming or snorkeling spot due to the strong waves, so pool access was great. Beautiful sunsets!

Property was very nice. Staff barely made eye contact and very little to say.

Excellent small hotel which the excellent staff made our stay feel like home. Great restaurants next door, clean property, beach access and 10min from Jaco.
Stephen, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

For the location it was great, especially with watching all the surfing. It’s right off the road. Our room was pointing towards the road so it made it really noisy. Right next to restaurants and could walk to them easily.
