Brasilito has several smallish hotels, little soda restaurants and larger restaurants. The relatively new Masala Indian Food is excellent, and the Patagonia del Mar steakhouse is very popular. There are various small convenience stores and the well-stocked Super Conchal. The Sea Star Souvenir store is a great place to buy gifts. Downtown Brasilito has a large, open field that is primarily used as a parking lot for people walking to Playa Conchal. Conchal is sometimes called the most beautiful beach in Costa Rica, and it’s well worth a visit, but you have to walk about half a kilometer from Brasilito to get there. This field is also used for seasonal fairs and rodeos, with a temporary bullring that’s erected every year in February. Horseback riding is another popular activity. You’ll often see horses tied up on the beach waiting for customers who want to ride. Brasilito is small enough that you can easily get around on foot. Visit some of the lively bars at night, and you may feel like a party is breaking out everywhere at once. Work began in February 2023 on expanding the one-lane bridge in the heart of town to a two-lane bridge with pedestrian sidewalks. The work was expected to take up to six months, with a detour from the Beach Community Church in the south to the Agua y Sal bakery in the north. Pedestrians and motorcycles are able to cross at the bridge construction site, but cars and trucks are not. Completion of this work will unclog a major regional bottleneck that has always caused traffic jams. On the southern outskirts of Brasilito, there’s an Ebais medical clinic, a police station, the private Hospital Metropolitano, the Costa Rica International Academy, and the high-end Reserva Conchal resort, with two hotels and a golf course. In nearby Huacas, there’s a gas station, several large grocery stores, all kinds of shops, the Beach Side Clinic hospital and other conveniences. Getting Around: Our agents will be happy to assist you with renting a car, giving you the freedom to explore the area where you want, when you want. For short drives to nearby towns or beaches, golf carts are another popular mode of transportation. You can also rent a bicycle to ride around in town or beyond. We can arrange transfers to and from the airport. Rental cars can also be delivered to your property at no additional cost, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenery as our private van drives you here from the airport. Taxis are available but can be a bit hard to find. Many locals use buses to get around, though there are a limited number of routes and times of day when you can catch them. Private shuttles can be a great option for traveling to nearby destinations, and many tour companies offer transportation to and from the tour. Our information brochure will provide you with useful information on local transportation options and points of interest, as well as contact information for taxis and shuttles. ## Property amenities ### Beach -

Jun 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Disliked: Check-in, location #### Disappointing There were workers in unit replacing lightbulbs etc. so unit wasn’t ready. Check in was hurried and we were left with worker who didn’t speak English to call us a taxi. No taxi came, had to call office. There were no kitchen towels or dishcloth! A cut rate motel has better kitchen ware. The door had a deadbolt which had to be locked with the key from INSIDE also! It was a flimsy door and lock. Didn’t feel secure or safe at all. There is no on-site management. All in all this place isn’t worth what they charge. It had a shabby feel. ##### Lloyd C. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Chantal B.

Dec 30, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### nice property on a dusty road Property is exactly as described. Nice little pool with a bbq included. The management company is great. The bbq gas was empty and they replaced it same day after we notified them. Quiet, clean, and enjoyable. ##### Ian E. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angjelin D. Mar 15, 2019 #### Close to the best beaches you’ll find in Costa Rica! We loved our stay at La Carolynna. The condo was close to the best beaches around such as flamingo beach, and playa conchal. We also visited Tamarindo, playa avellenas etc. I would recommend you rent a car if you stay here. The condo complex is very safe. The internet is ok, it works perfect sometimes but we did experience the wifi go slow two to three times during our stay. The air conditioning was excellent. The water pressure was excellent and having access to the bbq and pool was a cherry on top. I would highly recommend the property, everything you need is there including beach towels. The only con was the cable TV for us English speakers. They only have two or three channels for English speakers: CNN news and the other two played repeated shows. ##### Angjelin D. Stayed 11 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janis T. May 13, 2018 #### Comfort and Quiet in Brasilito Overall this was a very nice condo with clean, comfortable beds and comfortable seating elsewhere in the house. Everything worked as we expected except for the remote to the gate. ##### Janis T. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Monika O., Costa Rica Feb 10, 2018 #### Excellent location Near all best beaches in the area We did not need any additional kitchen appliance or tool Location is perfect 5min from greatest beaches in the area as Flamingo and around 10min from Danta and Dantita Quiet, private No worries about your car at night Electric gate which provides nice security No problem at all with coordination at arrival Streets are in very good conditions as well Giving 4 stars instead of 5 only because the fridge did not close tight but it was fixed the second day They provide cleaning products ##### Monika O. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Ashley P. Mar 31, 2017 #### This condo had everything we were looking for at affordable prices!! Getting the keys and being shown where the condo is, is kinda a rig a maroll but woulda been lost otherwise. Once there, the gated community gives you that extra sense of safety. Travelling with a child, the pool area was perfect for that late afternoon dip. A little small and enclosed for the adults looking for sun. We really enjoyed the bbq'ing area as we eat dinner and talked with others. On the flip side, the only downfalls were, some barking dogs in the area that barked in the middle of the night, not for long but enough to wake some light sleepers up. The condo itself (keep in mind each one is different) can opener didn't work, no sharp knifes, etc. Would have been nice to have a boogie board as well. My family and I were very satisfied with this condo and got to meet some great ppl with tips about the local shops, farmers markets and special places to visit. ##### Ashley P. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colleen A., Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Jun 21, 2009 #### Very peaceful spot I spent one week staying with my husband at La Carolina condos in May/June 2009. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It is very peaceful and tranquil. The gardens, pool area and property are well cared for and clean. We really loved the common area with the bbq beside the pool- it was a great place to hang out at night and have dinner and a swim. The condo itself was really nice- nothing fancy but really clean and modern. Linens, towels and all the kitchen dishes and utensils were great- we had no need for anything else. You defintely need a car rental for staying here- the beach is a bit of a hike and the nearest grocery store is quite far. But with a car you have the flexibility to visit the areas that are close by and explore. We loved staying here- it was a convenient spot for us and we will most likely stay there again. ##### Colleen A. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Andaz-Costa-Rica-Resort-At-Peninsula-Papagayo-A-Concept-By-Hyatt.h6476638.Hotel-Information) > > [RipJack Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Grande-Hotels-RipJack-Inn.h2838178.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Acacia](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Acacia.h18529330.Hotel-Information) > > [Santarena Hotel at Las Catalinas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Catalinas-Hotels-Santarena-Hotel-At-Las-Catalinas.h30440211.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Secrets-Papagayo-Adults-Only.h10650279.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palms At Coco Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-The-Palms-At-Coco-Beach.h4434186.Hotel-Information) > > [Las Catalinas Doorway](https://www.expedia.ca/Tempate-Hotels-Las-Catalinas-Collection.h11046448.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-Beach-Hotels-Occidental-Papagayo-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h659642.Hotel-Information) > > [Pacifico Resort Condominiums](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Pacifico-Resort-Condominiums.h15992557.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Costa-Rica.h984916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa del Sueño](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Del-Sueno.h19326374.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harmony Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-The-Harmony-Hotel.h1707049.Hotel-Information) > > [Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Cala-Luna-Boutique-Hotel-Villas.h1118539.Hotel-Information) > > [El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-El-Mangroove-Papagayo.h6052327.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Riu-Guanacaste-All-Inclusive.h2818771.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-The-Westin-Reserva-Conchal.h4151182.Hotel-Information) > > [Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Planet-Hollywood-Beach-Resort-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h21882911.Hotel-Information) > > [Capitán Suizo Beachfront Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Capitan-Suizo-Beachfront-Boutique-Hotel.h1140010.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Flamingo-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-Resort-Playa-Flamingo.h189539.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Palace-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h5431338.Hotel-Information) > > [W Costa Rica - Reserva Conchal](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-W-Costa-Rica-Reserva-Conchal.h24195607.Hotel-Information) > > [SoulShine](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-SoulShine.h46292420.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia del Sol Beach Front Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Potrero-Hotels-Bahia-Del-Sol-Beach-Front-Boutique-Hotel.h1190047.Hotel-Information) > > [Condovac la Costa](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Condovac-La-Costa.h12534581.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Bosque-Del-Mar.h113407.Hotel-Information) > > [CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Casa-Conde-Beach-Front-Hotel.h1333932.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Sol Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Villas-Sol-Hotel-And-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h1810654.Hotel-Information) > > [Playa Lagarto Eco Development](https://www.expedia.ca/Marbella-Hotels-Playa-Lagarto-Eco-Development.h19979634.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Occidental-Tamarindo-All-Inclusive.h793778.Hotel-Information)
