Welcoming. ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joselyn Mar 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It's close to Potrero and Penca beach. It is very clean and room distribution it's excellent to spend for long periods of time. I totally recommend staying at this place. ##### Joselyn Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Esteban Nov 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything good. A place to stay twice. ##### Esteban ### 8/10 Good #### Laura Mar 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cute, well mantained spot 🌴 Very comfortable stay. Rooms were clean and the pool was fantastic. Walking distance to some nice beaches and some pretty decent restaurants so it was okay for us not having a vehicle. We were only there for one night in transit but the town seems really cute. The person who checked us in was very informative. ##### Laura Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniel Jul 5, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice. Good price and amenities ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Walter Feb 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved the landscaping and the very clean pool. Our room was made up each time we asked; very nice. We wish there were hammocks, pepper at breakfast, a bar. The cats are special ##### Walter Stayed 9 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### MARY Feb 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Rey nice accomodations and property. Pool area was nice too. Just a little to isolated for my liking. A golf cart or vehicle is recommended. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/48290FEA4D231DAC6264E9126FBCE3C1458314CF1676998676849.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### MARY Stayed 10 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Ward Mar 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities We liked the area, close to stores, restaurants and beaches. A bit noisy due to the road. Beds need to be updated, very firm and small. It’s a great little resort. ##### Ward Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Sep 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I thought the hotel was nice and away from everything. It was minutes away from a grocery stop and a restaurant that I enjoyed a lot. If I was going back I would probably go back to the same place. ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hugo Jun 20, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very clean. Appropriate. Great price. Very short distance to Penca beach. Very close to good restaurants. ##### Hugo Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew Mar 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities What a great experience! Very relaxing, super friendly staff. Lots of filtered water and Wifi available. The pool was kinda small but still nice. And you can definitely have an adventure if you walk out into the streets. I would stay at Bahia Esmeralda again. ##### Matthew Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### elizabeth May 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The courtyard gardens were maintained and fit the need for privacy and enhanced the living spaces. The apartments were clean and simple. Basic living with amenities if wanted. The area local not tourist but close to basic needs. Staff was amazing ##### elizabeth Stayed 9 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ramona Aug 1, 2024 I had high hopes for this property, but it was very average. The bar was completely closed, no refrigerator in the rooms and the breakfasts were marginal. We won't be returning. ##### Ramona Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Anthony Mar 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Simple and quiet setting. A little bit too basic, but acceptable. The breakfast isn't great, better buy groceries in a local tienda and cook something simple yourself. The best beach in the area is in Flamingo by Margaritaville ##### Anthony Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Fr Aug 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Personnel, secure parking, location-- all positive Television...nothing in English...not even CNN--negative ##### Fr Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ## 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) > > [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) > > [Sweet Dreams Studios](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Sweet-Dreams-Studios.h15641729.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Riu-Guanacaste-All-Inclusive.h2818771.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) > > [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) > > [W Costa Rica - Reserva Conchal](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-W-Costa-Rica-Reserva-Conchal.h24195607.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Del Sol](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Del-Sol.h16081830.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) > > [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) > > [Playa Lagarto Eco Development](https://www.expedia.ca/Marbella-Hotels-Playa-Lagarto-Eco-Development.h19979634.Hotel-Information) > > [SoulShine](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-SoulShine.h46292420.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) > > [Las Catalinas Doorway](https://www.expedia.ca/Tempate-Hotels-Las-Catalinas-Collection.h11046448.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Occidental-Tamarindo-All-Inclusive.h793778.Hotel-Information)
