"The location is perfect. We were a block from our whale watching tour, two blocks from the beach (parque nacional marina ballena), and there were some smaller but very good restaurants nearby. It was easy access to the highway as well. We enjoyed the pool and the shower and A/C worked well. It was very convenient for everything we came to do. Also recomment the restaurant La Boba La Ballena nearby."

Top Aguas Buenas Hotel Reviews

Hotel Three Sixty - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful peaceful boutique hotel, with wonderful and delicious food. 10/10"

A Jungle Villa, 5-8 BR, full staff, Toucans, Mountains and Emerald Canyon access

10/10 Excellent

"What a relaxing, peaceful, yet adventurous time we had. Four of us (one couple and two singles) spent three nights in this luxurious "villa," which is a tropical, open-air mansion on a hillside in the jungle. We had our own large and very clean rooms to choose from with several others to spare. During the day, we hiked to two different waterfalls near the villa (the adventure part!), and at night, we enjoyed the serenity of the hot tub and swimming pool. We were lulled to sleep by frogs and awakened by birds and a couple howler monkeys in the distance. Also mention-worthy was the delicious and hearty Costa Rican-style breakfast made by a staff member in the villa's kitchen. We had full access to the kitchen during our stay, and we made our own lunches and dinners. The on-site caretaker and the remote host were always available and quick to answer any questions we had. This was the vacation we needed, and we were so lucky we chose the perfect place to stay."

Lamangata Luxury Surf Resort - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Lamangata was one of the best stays I've ever had. The property sits high in the hills above the jungle with views all the way to the ocean, and the infinity pool looking out over the valley is unreal, especially at sunrise and sunset. The team plans everything for you. Each morning a hand-drawn chalkboard lists the tide times, meals and the day's activities, so all we had to do was show up. Our surf instructor started us off in the pool before taking us out in the ocean, which made learning feel easy and safe. They also set up a zipline and a trip to the Nauyaca waterfalls, and the transport ran right on time. The food was a highlight: fresh, colorful and made from scratch every day. Avocado toast, tacos, poke bowls, shrimp ceviche, BBQ ribs. Everything was delicious. The rooms are beautiful, with warm wood, stone sinks, soft lighting and a walk-in shower, and they were spotless. The common areas feel open and calm. What really set it apart was the staff. They were warm and attentive and made us feel like family. On our last day they gave us printed photos from the trip with a thank-you note, a touch we'll never forget. I can't recommend it enough and can't wait to come back."

Canavida Villas & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing piece of paradise! The property is stunning and the staff is very friendly and informative. I would say a 4x4 vehicle is required, especially in the rainy season. We saw tons of birds and enjoyed listening to the howler monkeys in the morning from the porch. I would definitely stay again and refer my friends!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Aguas Buenas?

The best area to stay in Aguas Buenas is the town centre itself, particularly around the main square, Parque de Aguas Buenas.

This central area is the heart of the community, offering easy access to local amenities and a glimpse into daily life. You'll find the local church, municipal buildings, and a few small eateries and shops clustered around the park. It's a convenient base for exploring the surrounding natural beauty.

For those looking for a relaxed, authentic experience, staying in a guesthouse or small hotel within the town centre is ideal. It allows for easy walks to local points of interest and provides a chance to connect with the friendly local community.

Travellers interested in a tranquil retreat might also consider properties just outside the town centre, often located in the hills.

When is the best time to go to Aguas Buenas?

The best time to go to Aguas Buenas is during the dry season, which typically runs from December to April.

During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny weather and lower humidity, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the region. The trails in the surrounding areas are more accessible, and outdoor activities like birdwatching and hiking are much more pleasant without the daily rain showers. This period is great for travellers who want to maximise their time outdoors and enjoy comfortable conditions.

The shoulder months of May and November can also be a good option. While there might be occasional rain, it's often in the afternoon, leaving mornings clear for activities.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Aguas Buenas.

Prices for hotels in Aguas Buenas often vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $74 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
