Clandestino Beach

10/10 Excellent
"The place is amazing. Is the perfect Costa Rica escape. You have a desert beach a few steps away from you room, the pool is incredible and the isolated vibes is perfect to disconnect from the world. Friendly staff and a big shout out to Diana, the owner, who is very careful and welcoming. The room is great, comfortable and spacious. The only note we have is regarding the shower: the shower wasn’t the best, it was lacking some maintance. Other watch out for people is that to get to the hotel you need to drive by a 5km unpaved road, so it takes a while and make things a bit far, but if you are looking for a disconnection I couldn’t recommend a better place. 100% would stay again."
