It is not a swimming beach at all, but it is great for watching the waves and reading a book. Drinks were delicious, though the good was hit or miss. (The tuna tartare was incredible; the seafood platter was a sad disappointment.) The staff were very kind and helpful and there was yoga on the weekends with a transcendent view."

Akua Ocean View Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely more than described! Beautiful!!"

Santa Lucia Jungle Hacienda, Costa Rica, Autograph Collection®

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is very beautiful, but something to keep in mind. The food and beverages from the restaurant are very over priced. Just as an example a glass of Prosecco was roughly 22-25$ (USD) which is enough to just go out in town and buy your own bottle. Also, the breakfast for just my wife and I (buffet breakfast) cost us roughly $70 USD. The breakfast selection was basic and not impressive at all. We basically wondered what we paid 70 dollars for when we saw our choices. The property is beautiful and the service was amazing! Please keep in mind it is in the jungle so you will hear jungle noises at night. Which is to be expected and honestly I thought it was pretty neat."

Macaw Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"Un lugar pequeñito, pero con todo lo que se necesita, la pasamos muy bien!"

Nomad Living CR

Tarcoles Birding Lodge

"This place is a gem! The view up in the mountains, overlooking the sea. A birder’s paradise. The value is incredible. My kids wept when we left. Loved our stay. Thank you"

Selva Color Forest & Beach Ecolodge

10/10 Excellent

"Cabins are set in a very beautiful forest. We woke up to the sounds of birds and even saw Macaus. The breakfast was soothing and filling, with fresh local juice and tasty gallo pinto and coffee. Staff were very helpful and cheerful. Highly recommend!!"

Villa La Loma, Oceanview, Private Pool and AC!

10/10 Excellent

"Alex welcomed us and showed us around. He connected with us on WhatsApp to ensure we could contact him anytime we needed him.The house is absolutely beautiful and the views are breathtaking! There are plenty of birds to watch, the Scarlet Macaws are beautiful…..and noisy! The pool was also a highlight and was not cold. The house has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The road up is pretty bumpy but well worth it once you get there! We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return here if we ever come back to Costa Rica."

Luxury Villa w/ Ocean, Mountain Views, King Suites & Hot Tub - Sleeps 10

10/10 Excellent

"Frank and Samay opened their beautiful home to us, and it truly felt like the ultimate therapy after a challenging year. The breathtaking views set the tone the moment we arrived, and every detail of the home was designed for relaxation and connection. The pool and hot tub were incredible, the game room kept everyone entertained, and having Chef Jose prepare meals for us in the home was such a special touch. The in-house massages made it feel like a private retreat. Most importantly, it was a place where my family was able to slow down, reconnect, and make unforgettable memories. We are deeply grateful for the experience and would return in a heartbeat."
