As one of the most popular provinces in Costa Rica, Guanacaste has gained a name for itself as a tropical paradise with a pristine shoreline, beautiful mountain ranges and a number of volcanoes. Visitors are drawn to the long summer days, active culture and unparalleled wildlife. Located in the far northwest corner of Costa Rica, Guanacaste's geographical features are diverse and exotic. With endless options for recreation, there are countless reasons why locals and international visitors alike travel to Guanacaste.
As Guanacaste spans the northwestern corner of Costa Rica, it should come as no surprise that this lively province is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica. Tamarindo is sunny throughout nearly the entire year, and the weather remains pleasant without much humidity. Travelers can do everything from surfing, ATV Tours, snorkeling, zip line, horseback riding, hiking and more. Sitting between two mountains, Playa Hermosa is a great location for travelers who wish to have a laid back experience away from crowds. Hermosa is near Rincon de la Vieja National Park, Palo Verde National Park and Santa Rosa National Park, so there are plenty of opportunities to experience wildlife in this area. Other pristine shorelines in this region include Playa Panama, Playa Grande, Pan de Azucar, Playa Ocotal, Playa Flamingo and Playas del Coco beaches.

Our place El Cubil is a short 2 minute walk to the beach, great restaurants etc... but if you want to see the beautiful surrounding area it is best to rent a car, our concierge Jennifer can assist you.

Perfect place to stay!
The place was well-kept and perfect for our family. They had everything we needed to make our meals, but we enjoyed the Tico food, too! There were plenty of pool & a couple beach towels for us to use. The laundry room was a necessity, as we could drop our sandy things in there to clean. Bathrooms were great (no bidet tho) and the bedrooms were perfect. Did I mention the beds were heavenly?! We slept like babies! Jennifer, our on-site contact, was warm & welcoming & able to answer questions, book excursions - anything we needed she was a text/ phone call away & very prompt with responses. Thank you for the wonderful memories we made in your beautiful country! Pura Vida!

Great weekend getaway for large group
We loved our stay at El Cubil. It was conveniently located to the beach. On our first walk to the beach, we saw 6 monkeys in a tree! Our biggest disappointment was that the hot tub was not working properly. The pool water was cool so the hot tub would have felt great. Jennifer answered all of our questions. And that 3rd floor terrace - so nice! We spent most of our time up there. The condo supplied everything we needed for a wonderful, memorable weekend. We would definitely return to El Cubil!

Playa Hermosa.... a piece of Heaven on earth.
We spent a week at El Cubil #14 in Playa Hermosa and absolutely loved it! The property is less than a 25-minute drive from the Liberia Airport, which is a huge bonus. The condo is immaculate and offers three floors of spacious, comfortable, climate-controlled living space. The kitchen is well equipped, and there are six quiet, wall AC units to control the indoor air temp. The master bath offers a large, walk-in shower with a view of the lush trees and hills of Playa Hermosa. The outdoor shower and pool are wonderful for washing off sand from the beach or for taking a swim to cool off. The third-floor balcony was the perfect spot for morning coffee, yoga and evening drinks. You can walk to the beach in less than five minutes and choose from a variety of ocean activities and beachfront restaurants. If you are looking to relax without fighting the crowds and traffic of bigger oceanfront towns, I highly recommend this rental property.

Wow, what a holiday! The property, the staff, the proximity to the beach and restaurants, exceeded our expectations. Jennifer was excellent and was in contact with us daily to ensure that we had everything we needed. Jennifer even booked day trips for us! The attention to detail was fabulous and our accommodations were clean, safe and the property very well maintained. We can't wait to return!

Mostly great
This condo was beautifully furnished with absolutely everything we needed, and the grounds were secure and well kept. I would have given it a 5 Star except for the issue that we’re told is country-wide. That is that you can’t put any toilet paper in the toilet. This makes for very smelly bathrooms. A simple solution for this upscale accommodation would be to provide sanitary recepticles such as are found in all public restrooms, or what is used for diapers. The location is isolated with only a small grocery store to drive to and a couple of restaurants along the beach. Other beach areas have many more shops and cafes to choose from. Except for the toilet issue, I would rent this place again if it were in a less isolated location. Luckily we had a car. Well done, Sean, for the beautiful decor.

Beautiful duplex, elegant modern furnishings, easy access to the beach, ideal location to explore CR
I had a wonderful relaxing, romantic, nature filled get away week in a place I've always wanted to visit, Playa Hermosa in Costa Rica. The owner of this delightful property clearly cares about making every detail of your holiday perfect! From the moment I arrived, the VIP concierge service arranged everything from transportation to and from the airport, to getting groceries along the way, to recommending the best local cuisine, to trips into Coast Rica's rain forest to Zip Line through the Jungle, to an afternoon sunset sail to snorkel and explore nearby deserted beaches where monkeys roamed wild. There's so much to do, I want to go back to experience it all again...of course there's always an option to stay put and swim, read, or take a jacuzzi on the first floor patio of the complex. The duplex has all modern amenities. It's impeccably clean. The space has a great flow, shoji screens to divide spaces for privacy, a wide open living room / kitchen and bedrooms with large flatscreen TV's for family and friends to congregate, with a fantastic view of the mountains and the sea beyond. Lastly, compared to other 5 star places I've rented, the owner has amassed an amazing art collection from artists who live in the Central American region. This touch, makes for great ambience. In addition, the place is filled with handcrafted furniture made by a local artisans. The beach is only a 5 minute walk down the road. If your lucky, you'll be able to see or hear monkeys along the way. Along the beachfront, you'll find amazing ocean front restaurants which serve locally caught fish, experience delightful blue waters to swim in, and take in vistas of the mountains beyond. Lastly, I have to say I've travelled the world over, and I can honestly say I've never met a more friendly people...the Costa Rican people are inviting and gracious, and exude happiness. Take all of these ingredients combined, and you have the makings of an amazing holiday getaway!!! Scott

Clean, light, modern upscale, gorgeous views, 3 min walk to beach & restaurants.
Fantastic location, lovely setting, did yoga & tai chi on open terrace on top floor & on deck by private pool on property. Plus super short easy walk (basically flat)to beach & back made life easy & relaxed. Property is beautifully maintained, private gate with parking, security guard always there, but felt totally safe didn't need him, he was really friendly. Great restaurants close by, had amazing day sailing, snorkeling & massages at the condo thanks to manager recommendations, plus had incredible day zip lining, & thermo pools at Rio Perdido, easy & scenic1hr drive from condo. And having lots of amenities was appreciated by everyone for the flat screen TV movie night. Best of it all, saw monkeys in the trees down the road, some beautiful birds, walked the lovely beach & swam, then felt so nice to walk in to air conditioning, clean inviting space, settle in & relax. Perfect combination of modern luxury condo in beautiful natural area. Not enough time to do everything we wanted. Property manager was amazing in arranging everything we wanted. Would definitely come back here.
