If you are looking for a place to totally unwind relax. Disconnect, this is the place you have to like dogs and don't mind the raccoon. The staff was amazing. The owner saw to our needs made us feel so special for our anniversary. The food was amazing. The room was amazing. It's off the beaten path but it was perfect.

We felt like we had our own private beach at Clandestino. Our kids loved the pool and the pets (including a friendly raccoon named Pepper!). The food was very good and the service was top notch. The rooms were comfortable and the ac worked well. My daughter loved eating mangos from the mango tree all day. Would definitely recommend having a car as the secluded and private location could make getting a taxi difficult. We did day trips to Jaco and Manuel Antonio from clandestino. We had a really nice time and made lifetime memories with our kids at the resort.

The resort offered a nice getaway being away from the busy areas with a semi private beach that wasn’t crowded and had pretty sunset views. The staff were friendly and attentive. Rooms were clean and the style and decor was resort boho chic. Perfect for a secluded Costa Rica vacation. We had a rental car so coming and going to town was easy for us.

Pura Vida from our stay at Clandestino, equally magic and frustrating. With a menagerie of dogs, cats, and even a pet raccoon roaming freely, animal lovers will delight, though it may not suit everyone. Our encounter with the raccoon led to an unprovoked scratch attack on our baby, highlighting a need for caution, especially with children. The property, needing updates, had issues from non-working lights and door lock to a leaking shower, and cleanliness was a concern with a dirty fridge and cockroach presence in the kitchen. Despite its decline, the location's beauty is undeniable. Playa Palo Seca's remote, pristine beach offers solitude but beware of its dangerous currents and hot sand. Dining was disappointing, with high prices not matching the quality, especially the shockingly expensive drinks (as pricey as Miami or Vegas honestly... a single Guaro sour drink was running like $24 USD? For context, I bought an entire bottle of Guaro in Manuel Antonio for like $14 bucks.) Despite these drawbacks, the welcoming staff and the unique experience still made our stay enjoyable. Future visitors should come prepared, hopefully with a rental car to explore dining options and save money. Despite its flaws, Clandestino has charm for those with an open mind. Pura Vida!

Paradise, paradise, paradise!!!!
My wife and I found this hotel to be the most relaxing environment we have experienced in a very long time. Away from the hustle and bustle you find yourselves to be the only ones on this very long beautiful beach. The sunsets are absolutely to die for!!! Diane, the owner was very supportive of our needs. Knowing we were only there for two nights she personally helped us to organise trips very much last minute which we were exceptionally grateful for. All of the staff were courteous and helpful always and we were very sad that we had not spent much more time there as we found it to be such a tropical getaway. One day we hope to be back. Thanks again to Diane and her team, keep up the great work.

Love this place. The laid back vibe. You feel like you have the resort to yourself. The owner Diana is always on hand to help with anything you need. The breakfast was great, we had dinner one night it was also great. We love the dogs that live on the resort as well as the raccoon. They like to hang out with the guests. The beach is secluded and has the most beautiful sunset you will ever see. This was our third time there and we will be back.
