Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent
"AZURA Beach Resort is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, the superb staff made us feel so welcome with their A+ customer service. Every bartender and staff member was incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive. A really nice touch was how well they honor Expedia VIP customers—they even gave us a separate "Expedia VIP Customer" wristband, which made us feel truly appreciated! The rooms were spotlessly clean, and the resort property itself is magnificent. As an all-inclusive resort, the food was delicious and the drinks were fantastic. Keep in mind that it is about a 2-hour drive from the main airport, and the resort focuses on pure relaxation rather than high-energy entertainment. But if you want a peaceful, high-quality retreat, it is 100% worth the stay. We loved it!"

Domo Nosara Boutique Hotel

Domo Nosara Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"What can I say? This was the R&R that was much needed - secluded, sophisticated and sleek! Domo Nosaro is located on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, about 90 mins south of Tamarindo. The roads are lush with foliage - and the small stretch leading up to Domo is rough terrain, it is only for about 3 mins - and once you have reached the lodge, you will be well rewarded with its sheet beauty. Check in was a breeze (and in fact we were slightly early - and we were immediately welcomed and provided a room). A few small handy notes: (i) there is no elevator, so luggage has to be carried up - no worries though, as the helpful staff will lend you a hand; (ii) there is no onsite cafe - no worries because the Sunrise cafe and other choice eateries such as Pulpo, are literally a stone's throw away - and their food is on point; (iii) there is no TV because this is an eco-lodge designed for seclusion - no worries though as the wifi is strong and you will be instragramming every 5 seconds anyway! What you will see the spectacular lounge areas overlooking the salt water pool - the temperature is just right (neither warm nor cold - just superbly comfortable) - and pool and beach towels are provided. The rooms are luxurious in a Mediterranean style that truly makes you feel like you got away into the lap of luxury - and the windows overlook plants that are teeming with butterflies and birds! The sound of howler monkeys wakes you up in the morning - and time just flies...wish I had longer!"
