Paradise Flamingo Beach

Don’t!

Reviewed By bessobecker

This place was absolutely horrible. We checked in and checked out within the hour. The room was bare. Nothing but a bed, dresser and night tables. The balcony had those cheap plastic chairs. I first tried to change rooms but every room was basically the same. The place is worn out and shabby, paint peeling, anti-slip strips at the pool were peeling, the gazebo was falling apart, A/C only in the rooms and calling it A/C was being kind. Wi-Fi with one bar in the rooms.I could go on..the only bright spots in this tedious and stressing situation were Luis at the front desk and Maria who, I assumed, was in housekeeping. They tried hard to make us happy, but there was no way I could allow this place to ruin another amazing trip to Costa Rica. We moved .3 miles to Margaritaville where we are now. I’ve never done this before. Never had to, but so happy we left the place. If they want to attract international travelers, they need to give this place a serious facelift.

I would never recommend supporting a business like this

Reviewed By sassychik

A picture is worth a thousand words. I have nothing good to say about this business. If you want to be treated well, if you want good food, if you want to get what you’ve paid for, stay far away from here.

Dishonest and misleading. Four wheel drive vehicle required.

Reviewed By Anthony D

This property is not accessible with a regular car and they do not advertise this. When I found out that you need a Four Wheel Drive vehicle to get there, I tried to cancel but they wouldn’t let me and they then charged my card for the full amount despite having a cancellation policy. Dishonest and misleading. Beware.

Oasis

Aqua house at Oasis

Reviewed By W5968TDrichm

We stayed in Aqua House. Oasis is a small group of 6 small houses. Philippe and Juliana were very pleasant and always attentive. Aqua House is a studio style house at Oasis. As it was all we required, it was very comfortable and clean. The ceiling fans were all we needed to stay cool. It has everything you need to have a pleasurable experience. Did I mention the hosts were terrific? There is a hammock, comfortable chairs and small tables outside that are covered perfect for relaxing in the shade or during a rainy afternoon. We will be back.

Sueno Al Mar Residence & Hotel

Great pool and grounds

Reviewed By Finncanuck

We had a two bedroom villa for four weeks and had a very pleasant experience. A couple of minor issues were quickly resolved. The regular maid service was an unexpected bonus. The pool is gorgeous and always clean, and the tropical grounds are kept in great shape. There are a few good restaurants very close, as well as a few grocery stores nearby. The beach is just across the street. There isn't a lot to do in this area, but we had a car for our stay, so we were able to visit other areas on day trips. If you want a quiet, relaxing holiday, this is the place.

Vida Aventura Lodge

Bonito lugar, pero algo costoso.

Reviewed By P775YSmichaelv

Es un lugar muy lindo, aunque le falta un poco de mantenimiento (nada grave) y está al menos a 20min de la urbanización. Hay una piscina funcionando, la otra no, y un jacuzzi, estaba sucio al inicio. No hay recepción para celular pero sí hay WiFi. En general está bien, caro pero bien.

Hotel Pasatiempo

What an oasis’s of calm.

Reviewed By johnvincent

What an oasis’s of calm in a very busy and touristy town. Just a short walk to the huge beach, yes even I made it ok. Great amenities pool, bar and a very good supermarket and laundry apposite. Reception staff very helpful. A plug for the sink would be nice to save water. The paper not in the toilet thing, because of the plumbing, maybe they should install bidet’s. In every hotel breakfast menu was Fruit followed by. American or Local. Always the same. American, two thin strips of bacon cooked too death and fried or scrambled eggs with toast. Local, rice, black, beans. & salad. Got very monotonous for 14 days. Top of the beams in the bar lounging area could do with a dusting. On reflection Tamarindo probably more suitable for the under 40s. Entrance gate locked at night with security guard in attendance.

Nosara Beach Hotel

he Nosara Beach Hotel is the most recognizable landmark perched on a naturally exquisite point between the world-class beaches of Playa Guiones and Playa Pelada on the Pacific Ocean since 1977. Part of the local history as the very first hotel in Nosara, now restored to its original grandiose with whimsical architectural lines and eclectic flavors.

Beautiful hotel with amazing hospitality

Reviewed By emilysT3705AT

We traveled to Nosara for our honeymoon and stayed at the Nosara Beach Hotel. We rented a car and drove from Liberia airport - I highly recommend renting an SUV as many of the the dirt roads to get there are bumpy. Daniel was super accommodating and helped us with directions before arriving, and made sure we were well taken care of the rest of the trip. The bar and restaurant staff were excellent as well and went out of their way to get us anything we needed. The breakfasts were consistently delicious and we loved the variety of fresh juices each morning. Nosara Beach Hotel is steps away from the beach and has beautiful views of the ocean and sunsets. We walked down to La Luna for dinner multiple nights, which is just a short walk down the road. There’s a walking path that will take you to Playa Guiones where there are more bars, restaurants and shops, though it’s a very dark walk at night and I would recommend using only during the day. We loved how laid back Nosara was and how peaceful and relaxing our stay was at Nosara Beach Hotel. Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and romantic vacation spot.

Just Like Home in Paradise

Reviewed By kitts_88

Simon and JoAnne were such warm and welcoming hosts who made us feel right at home. The property is so beautiful and artsy with its colorful murals and artwork. We stayed at the Jungle Suite and was impressed with the most breathtaking vista of the jungle and the lake. It was nesting season for the oropendolas and it was amazing to see the birds flying back and forth protecting their nests. Waking up to birds chirping and calling was quite the experience I will always remember. Definitely, a must when in Nuevo Arenal. I am most certainly going to stay in Toucan Lane when in Costa Rica.
