Located in Potrero, 1 km from Penca Beach, LA QUEBRADA ECO LODGE Hotel Boutique provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a private beach area. This 5-star hotel offers room service, a business centre and free WiFi. The hotel features mountain views and a terrace. This was our last stop on our three week trip through Costa Rica and ended up being our favorite place. La quebrada lodge is just beautiful and the huge pool in the middle is awesome. Everyone is so welcoming and rooms are large and super clean. We ended up ordering breakfast from Maria every morning which was very tasty and plentiful.

Esh Hotel & Spa has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Nosara. With an outdoor swimming pool, the 5-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation features room service, a 24-hour front desk and currency exchange for guests. I love everything about Esh, it's an exceptional place. The staff provides outstanding service and creates an atmosphere of genuine warmth and hospitality. The food is exquisite, each dish clearly prepared with love and attention to detail. I'm a lover of rainy weather, and my husband also appreciates rainy days, we found the experience especially romantic, spent a quiet afternoon at the restaurant, sipping hot chocolate while watching the rain fall gently over the pool. It was a moment of calm and beauty that made our stay truly special.
