Hotels in Costa Rica

Breakfast was amazing and wildlife was everything!

Due to our jobs we get to stay in 5 star hotels multiple times throughout the month and one could say, we can truly judge when it comes to comparing and rating hotels. Vayu Retreat Villas was very special from the second we arrived until the moment we had to leave. The owners made us feel welcome and treated us like family. They were very attentive and made our stay an outstanding one. Everyone is really friendly, from cleaning/gardening to kitchen staff. Food was delicious, whether it was for breakfast or dinner. The suite really met our taste when it comes to design choices. Their eye for details, providing good coffee, umbrellas and any service you could possibly need before even asking is excellent. Best part was the private terrace overlooking the surrounding nature. This place is really peaceful and lets you relax from whatever stress you might have had.

Location is awesome. Really cool mini-hike in the backyard. Breakfast is super nice with different things every day. Staff is very helpful and friendly.

Everything was great, family business running their Lodge with so much love. They were very welcoming and flexible to accommodate us. Our stay was fabulous, we saw sloths in the forest right next to our room and heard the forest night life, fabulous experience! We had everything we needed for our night there, highly recommended! Small attentions worth everything, would definitely come again.

Hotel Huacas is a wonderful new place to stay in Huacas, Guanacaste! The rooms and property are very clean and look great — everything feels fresh and well taken care of. The owners are incredibly kind and go out of their way to make you feel at home. You can really see how much they care about their guests. Highly recommended if you're looking for a cozy welcoming stay in the area! Thank you, Melinda and Miguel, for your amazing hospitality! We really appreciate everything, and we hope to come back soon.

I liked the calm inside the hotel. The comfortable bed and clean, fresh sheets helped me rest easily every night.

The place is amazingly beautiful and magical. The garden, the pool, the room. The facilities are very good. Breakfast was delicious. The hosts are so nice, helped in anything we just asked for, plus they are also very knowledgeable about wild animals in the area. A great recommendation for families. Truly a unique place.

Great location, very friendly staff! We were only for one night but I wish it would have been more.

The location was private and stunning.... wildlife all around the property and visible from our rooms! The staff was amazing- Monica, George, and Giovani are wonderful, caring people who work tirelessly to make guests' experiences simply amazing.

Perfect place very close to surf (couple minutes walk) yet perfect for no surfers. The owners are so nice and super responsive and helpful with local info. The bungalows are new, clean and have a good layout. Place is awesome for groups as all four bungalows are together and around a pool. The outdoor kitchen is great as well! The kids didn’t want to leave it and it felt like a private pool. I will be recommending this place to all our friends.

Beautiful rooms with private pool with view to the rainforest. The entire resort is very clean with the pathways cleaned up frequently by the crew, and we spot wild sloth and monkeys in the resort without needing to go out. All the staff were very friendly. The restaurants were great and the food was amazing. Love the golf carts that could shuttle you to places in the resort, the turn down service in the room, and the daily free yoga classes. All of these made the stay simple exceptional and truly special.

The rooms are very private and beautifully decorated. The staff are amazing, kind and helpful with everything. The black sand beach is a 5 minute walk and there are restuarants within walking distance. The hotel is quiet and just far enough away from the busy part of Puerto Viejo.
