The best accommodations Pacific Coast

At the bottom of a valley, ideal if the heat on the coast is overwhelming. Along the Río Río (the petit Tárcoles), it is the bird paradise: There is a trail mounted at the canopy level (Sky Way and Canopy Tour). Right next to a village in Costa Rica, it was rebuilt «el Pueblo day Santa Lucia». It includes restaurant, bar, handicraft shops (quality objects), a church and the centre of the old town. The whole is beautiful. The hotel is ideally located for visiting Carara National Park.

A pleasant and quiet address.

Inside a small reserve, the hotel overlooks the Gulf. Good comfort.

This small hotel painted pink salmon has rooms with very clean bathrooms. Affiliate of youth hostels.

A very small hotel held by Dutch people who have made the most of this nature and are working to share their passion. A good stay in a quiet environment. The place remains frequented by surfers.

Still some friends of the Sol y Mar cabinas who bought a piece of land 3 km north of the Rainbow, have built the site, cleared the trails and built rooms that enjoy all the comfort: veranda, kitchenette with fridge and private bathroom. They can be reached by boat only. The journey is to be arranged with them.

In the middle of the reserve, the beautiful three-storey wooden house is shaped by a pagoda surrounded by balconies; on the ground floor, the restaurant, above the rooms arranged so that the visitor feels like sleeping outside, without the inconvenience of course. Wooden walls are high at half-height of each room, ensuring pleasant ventilation and the possibility of falling asleep by the sounds of the jungle (very impressive at night) but protected under its net. Each room, with private bathroom, overlooks a balcony with torrential rain by the roof progress.

In a private park of 300 hectares, a magnificent lodge dedicated to comfort, nature and adventure. Ideal for visiting Piedras Blancas National Park.

Another hotel of good taste. It is located near the airfield, which fortunately only hosts small aircraft. So you can rest without fear of noise.

A tropical garden separates the establishment of the beach with views of the Gulf of Papagayo. A small quiet place for a modest price.

These villas are magnificent in a framework that is just as good. Evening at the rancho, barbecue evening or pasta italiana. They speak French, Italian, English and Spanish, of course. A hotel to recommend.

Between hotel rooms and villas to rent, this resort gives you an embarrassment of choice. Luxury rooms with air conditioning, fan, cable TV, telephone, and junior suites with fully equipped kitchenette. Swimming pool, multi-purpose lounge (conferences, shows, games…) completes the facilities, with direct access to the beach and also to El Jobo beach where you will find a beach club. The restaurant (open morning, noon and evening) under a large rancho offers meals at less than US $ 20 per person. The international and typical map is excellent with quality service. Tours are proposed, including the visit of Islas Bolaños - seabirds sanctuary. In a beautiful, wooded setting with tropical plants, this resort is located in the still natural site of Bahía Salinas.

Often complete, it is better to think about booking. The location is clean, clean, and the staff is rather welcoming. This is one of the surfers of Sunday surfers and Revellers of all kinds. A grocery store is close to the hotel, and it is convenient for a large, well-equipped kitchen to simmer small dishes and make many meetings.

10 attractive rooms, some of which are less expensive.

There's a good reason to come to La Negra: this multi-faceted hotel is also a surf school, a restaurant and a great place to catch some live music ! The rooms are simple but tastefully furnished. A nice swimming pool at the disposal of the hotel's guests. In the kitchen, you will be treated to local dishes with French accents, the fish is 100% fresh and delicious! Themed evenings are offered: barbecue or concerts to have fun at less than 100 m from the beach.

As a Swiss chalet overlooking the Pacific, La Colina B & B is made up of economic rooms with views of the garden, deluxe rooms with ocean view, but also two small apartments, practices for families. We greatly appreciate the architecture of the place, very original, but all in stairs, as well as the beautiful swimming pool (lit in the evening, it is magical!). The garden is a delight for seeing many animals such as lazy ones, but also exotic birds, butterflies or seeing many species of flowers. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. We tested the restaurant for dinner and we were disappointed by the pizzas. A beautiful hotel, one of the best value for money in the area.

An ideal place, not far from which many scenes of the film 1492, from Ridley Scott, were toured with our exile Gérard Depardieu. In the calm, enjoy breakfast the senses excited by the coffee smells, with the wild nature and the Pacific Ocean on the backdrop! Three charming cottages built by the owner Corsica Marco. The chalets are equipped with a private bathroom and a terrace for your privacy, orthopedic bedding. It is an ecological establishment where drinking water comes from a natural source (gravity pressure) and to do nothing to spoil the charm and authenticity, the nights are lit up to candles, possibility to recharge its batteries to the village. In the plate, there are products from the vegetable garden, everything is organic. An incredible and romantic place to disconnect from the city's tumult. There are also a large number of birds such as aras parrots (Carara biological corridor), tubs, hummingbirds, monkeys, coatis, biches, little cats and butterflies. Marco's pedago-botanical trail leads you from your chalet to a private waterfall surrounded by sometimes multicentary trees or rivers. A place to withdraw spiritually, for a honeymoon, or simply to know Costa Rica in pure condition. Marco also awaits you in his dojo for a karate or yoga session. Massages are provided by Elena, a young graduate of IECSA (Costa Rican Institute) for a relaxing trip: Reflexology, aromatherapy… The Green Paradise, which develops its agency, also offers towers guided by horse, foot or 4 x 4.

A stone's throw from the beach, Arnaud, a native of Le Havre and former professional dancer, welcomes you to his little paradise. Colonial-inspired house and a beautiful swimming pool in a lush tropical garden. The bungalows are rustic but comfortable. Arnaud will make your stay pleasant, through his sympathy and infectious laughter. He will also be able to advise you on where to eat and go out on Sámara. On the catering side, Chez Nous offers good French-inspired cuisine with tropical touches.

An establishment offering basic services geared to a national and anglophone clientele.

Across from Palo Verde Park, this exceptional lodge is the epicenter of one of the world's 5 Blue Zones - areas known for the longevity of the inhabitants. Rooms offer spectacular views from the terrace. The 1,000 ha finca (which also houses a farm with cows and horses) forms an important biological corridor as it includes 3 ecosystems: dry forest, mangrove and wetlands. The lodge offers activities that allow a perfect immersion in this spectacular environment. The restaurant's cuisine is also exceptional!

Right on the beach! Indeed, hard to find as well positioned, facing a beach of almost deserted white sand, and dream waves for surfers. A small hotel very well kept, combining facilities and a sober and warm decoration at a time. Six rooms and a villa, clean and comfortable, with good bedding, air conditioning, Wi-Fi and a fully equipped kitchen. The reception is welcome and you can organise a lot of activities, surfing, but also yoga, massages, horse riding, fishing, diving, hiking… And to relax a little more, hammocks await you under palm trees. A place where you sleep and wake up with the noise of the waves, and the singing of the birds in the ears. Absolute relaxation!

This hotel, managed by Roberto, is very well equipped. The rooms of the Rancho de la Playa are comfortable and the pool is large enough to make a few lengths. The dishes of the bar-restaurant are consistent and small. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Excellent value for money. Attention, the hotel was on sale during our passage.

The fine sandy beach of Samara, coconut trees, hammocks… it's this divine view that can be admired from one of the bungalows of Laz Divaz. Among three, they offer the intimacy and calmness necessary to enjoy this paradise image. A real change, feet in the sand and in the water! Andreas proposes to make guided walks over Samara with his brother Alvaro. A winning pair for a successful holiday!
