Fantastic vibe! Huge open sided bar/restaurant area. The rooms are pirate themed! Travis was so helpful. We went on a night kayaking tour, saw loads of wildlife including some small crocs! You can also tour the islands with Travis on his boat. Great welcome and great value. A hidden gem.

This is basically a cruse ship harbor and not much to do in low season. A few bars and stores open. A lot of tour is not given due to no crusie ship arriving in this time of the year. Also, extreme weather resultet in that most tours from Puntarenas was cancelled. If you are planning a vaccation, you should choose another city such as Jaco or Uvita. Very easy to take a 2-3 hour bus shuttle from San Jose, terminal 7-10 for a few dollars.

While the hotel and staff were lovely and helpful the common verandah didn't allow for much privacy. The hotel was also at least 5kms from the rest of the town with no shops or restaurants nearby, so a little isolated. But the beach just across the road was a bonus.

Plenty of restaurants, activities to explore, etc. For me, It totally depends on your hotel. I’ve stayed in Puntarenas many times, but my trip this week to Hotel Puntarenas Beach was, sadly, my worst hotel experience in Puntarenas.

Unfortunately, it seems someone is pocketing the money.

Unfortunately, it seems someone is pocketing the money. The streets are neglected, dirty, and poorly lit. If it's a tourist destination, they should invest in infrastructure. Everything is deteriorating. It could be a beautiful city, but it seems there's corruption or they're simply not interested in improving the country.

A place with all urban amenities, it has shopping areas and a large, excellent plaza. The temperature is typical for the tropics, and the nights are cool. Food prices are reasonable, and there's a variety of options.

Perfect way to settle into my Costa Rican stay! Lovely spot & perfect view of the beach! The room was lovely overlooking the pool. Had a nice swim in the pool which I needed after my long travel. The breakfast offered was super yummy and they adjusted it to no meat for me. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make my trip the most enjoyable and gave me advice for transport and local areas. It was a pleasure to stay here and I will definitely stay here again!
