Top Carara National Park Hotel Reviews

Akua Ocean View Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This place was nice for the price you pay! A trek from the Airport , about $250 spent on round trip and an hour and a half each way . The space was nice .. room looks exactly like the pictures. The second night tho the lights , which include the AC went out for about 3-4 hours .. it was so hot ! Eventually it came back on but just a little annoying trying to sleep in that . Aside from those things , the space itself was definitely worth what you pay for and Uber was readily available and was how we got around for the most part. The gate closes and locks at a certain time so we felt extra security with that feature."
