Hotel Azul is definitely worth the trip to Playa Azul for its excellet amenities and gastronomy. To make the experience even better, we visited Playa San Juanillo featuring two calm bays separated by a narrow strip of sand. The crystal-clear waters and serene ambiance make it a perfect spot for swimming and snorkeling.

This is the best place to stay if you want to see the arribada of turtles! The starting point of the tours is just right across the street. Ostional is quite far to drive from other locations, it is advisable to drive there in daylight and stay in the village for a night. The house is basic but comfortable, the rooms have AC and stable wifi. The hosts were super kind depsite the language barrier.

One of the most special hotels I've stayed in, we saw so many animals there, iguanas, monkeys, squirrels and more, an excellent beach for surfing with a surfing club on site, the restaurant is excellent for breakfast and dinner, the room was huge and cozy, we were on the second floor so there was less room for animals to enter the rooms. The laundry services were a complete and excellent surprise

We loved that the beach was right in front of the property. Alejandro, the host, was super kind. Communication was quick and he helped us with everything that we needed. He made our stay (2 adults, one 5 year old and a baby) very comfortable. Parking is right on the property. If you are interested in fishing, the beach is amazing to catch some nice fish: there are roosters, jacks, trigger fish, blue runners, mangrove snapper and more... Locals there know how it's done and fish there daily. They are kind and can help you out. If there are plenty of sardines in the water, safe your time with artificial lures. Get some sardines and fish on the bottom. You won't wait long for a bite ;)

Plumita is set right in front of a wonderful beach (Janquillal). Gary, the owner, gave us plenty of useful infos. We really felt at home. We relaxed and enjoyed the beach and sea. Though the flat is somewhat basic it was good value for money. It was the overall feeling of "being at home" and, of course, the location that give this property the highest score.

Absolutely perfect for us! Magical location. The town is not too touristy, anything you need is in a walkable distance. Very chill location, not too fancy. We stayed in the surf shack out back and it was our own little affordable studio oasis. 10 out of 10 would stay here every time!

Mario, Jocelin & Elisa were attentive and charming hosts. Right on the beach, and in a more quiet and authentic part of the coast compared to nearby Guiones & Nosara. Great breakfast included. High quality and tasty market & food options all walkable.

    - the one outstanding thing: the beach - (although it could need some cleaning of the little plastic things like spoons and forks..etc) .. this beach is amazing. - the view from the porch, very sweet - the breakfast options were the usual in CR but with good quality and plenty topped up with a nice smoothie and fruits, restaurant in generell ok (totally overpriced for the quality compared to European standards, but that is the case almost everywhere in Costa Rica) - Isaac and the staff were very professional and friendly and welcoming

    We liked the location that was a bit off the beaten path and direct access to a small but very nice beach. The hotel was small but the available food and drink exceeded our expectations. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful,

    Beautifully tranquil hideaway with the beach on the doorstep. Breakfast was fantastic. The restaurant was very good too, from local dishes to the most delicious pizzas. Isaac, Xavier and the team were most welcoming and friendly and went the extra mile to make our stay very relaxed and memorable. Thank you!

    The views both from the bungalow area and their home, the location to the beach, breakfast and the fabulous meal cooked for us one our first night. Karen’s enthusiasm and attention to detail when cooking is top notch.
