Great Boutique Beachfront Property
Cafe del Playa in Coco was amazing. A boutique beachfront small property with a nice room, super clean and very friendly staff. The dining area looking out at the beach was amazing.

The patio is amazing!! Staff were awesome. And the hotel is at the end of the beach which I was told by the locals Is so much better because it's cleaner and the run off from the town is way on the other side. Quiet, clean, great service. Recommend.

We arrived before checkin time but assumed we’d sit poolside if our room wasn’t ready. We weren’t sure where to check in since the front building had no signage. We asked at the bar and they were able to check us in early

Our room was a little tired. Handle fell off in the shower, toilet leaks, large gaps in the door that i stuffed plastic bags into trying to keep cockroaches out. Found 3 in our room in the one night stay.
The property is nice and the staff are very friendly. We never ate here, but paid 32USD for 2 pina coladas.

Room was no frills for sure, but to walk out of our room straight to the beach was worth it. Staff there were so friendly and went above and beyond, bringing chairs, food, and drink out to the beach to us! Cocktails were amazing!

Everything you need at the quiet end of the beach.
Grounds are well maintained, room was comfortable with all the necessities, and staff is friendly.
You have the option to dip your toes in the ocean or dip in the pool, eat great food on site, and have a great seat for the sunset.

This property is right on the beach and within walking distance to the town. The beach and surrounding area is clean. You can view beautiful sunsets right at the back of the property. Cafe de Playa restaurant is in the property and has great food and service.

This place is very cute with its central pool and seating/hammocks. The beach restaurant is quaint and has great seating options and loungers. The staff is super nice and friendly!
That said the room seemed clean but smelled strongly like a urinal cake/clenser. The shower was meh clean and I woke up to a big dead roach by my shoes. The walkway placement makes it noisy and people were loud as was the rolling of the cleaning crew cart right outside our door. That said, we only stayed one night and it was good.

We needed a place to stay that was close to airport. Lucky to come across this place. It's a hidden gem. Thankful for an air conditioned room. Restaurant had great ambiance, drinks, food, right on the beach. Staff was courteous.

The hotel only has 5 rooms and a nice pool. The bar and restaurant are owned separately. The rooms were pretty funky but clean and the beds were good. What makes this such a great place is the proximity to the beach and the fantastic restaurant. We ate there every night and it was the best food we had for the $$ in Costa Rica. We loved it so much they brought the chef out to meet us! What a talented young man!!

Nice stay
We enjoyed our stay here. Nice beach. Decent restaurant. No room service though and no phone in room. Also no mini fridge. Their advertisement about beach front rooms is not correct however the rooms don't face the ocean.
