Tiki Villas Rainforest Lodge & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"¡Una experiencia inolvidable en Tiki Villas Rainforest Lodge & Spa! El lugar es simplemente hermoso, rodeado de naturaleza y con una paz que enamora. La atención fue excepcional: Ana en recepción nos hizo sentir como en casa desde el primer minuto, y Don José en el restaurante fue un verdadero tesoro, siempre atento y amable. Pero lo que realmente nos dejó impresionados fue el restaurante. La comida es de otro nivel: el pulpo a la parrilla, el ceviche y absolutamente todos los platos que probamos fueron dignos de una estrella Michelin. No fue una cosa puntual, fue el conjunto completo: sabores perfectos, presentación impecable y un servicio de primera. Si no fuera por la playa, literalmente no habríamos salido del lodge. Sin duda volveremos, ¡y lo recomendamos al 100%!"

Cristal Ballena Boutique Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I love this hotel so much it was comfortable and beautiful and the swimming pool is a dream come true. The service was excellent. The room was gorgeous. I slept like a baby. A wonderful wonderful property with gorgeous gardens and the most beautiful birds I’ve ever seen flying."

Villas Alturas

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property. We saw macaws, parrots, a whole troop of toucans and there seem to be white faced monkeys in residence at the trees near the parking. Unbeatable views. Mango trees all around. It’s like staying at a local friend’s well maintained home. The staff is so sweet and helpful(thanks Yeik). We stayed a bit off season so maybe that’s why but it was very quiet and peaceful only saw 2-3 other guests. Just make sure you have a v6 SUV as it’s a steep grade up to the hotel and the food is not paved in sections."

Savegre Hotel Natural Reserve & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Hummingbirds, right at my doorstep! Hummingbird garden Appreciative I had been upgraded by Alamo with a 4 x 4, taking me to the top of the mountain. I am in decent shape. I preferred walking the paths at the top of the mountain having ridden to those trail heads. This includes parking at the top and walking down to the overlook platform beautiful fuse So much cooler 10 to 15° perfect hiking weather never above 70°F and contrast with my days by the coast not humid not hot Bug spray would’ve been nice part for stormed with mosquitoes on the parts not at all Enjoy the location as well. Enjoyed and appreciated many other places to eat and walk within a few minutes drive"

Hotel Diuwak

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were so helpful friendly and accommodating nothing was too much trouble. Room was clean comfortable bed and air conditioning. Breakfast was perfectly cooked daily 😊Swimming pool was a blessing and only two mins walk to beach highly recommend this as a place to stay very reasonable prices too. I will be returning thanks guys"

Tropical Sands Dominical Eco Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Note**** They are a cash business or they take Zelle (I missed that upon booking). This is a very charming, well-maintained, and secure property. We initially stayed in a cabina without air conditioning, but after the first night we upgraded to a room with A/C, which made our stay even more comfortable. The staff were outstanding—friendly, attentive, and excellent with communication throughout our visit. Our room was consistently clean, and the quality of the linens and towels was especially impressive. Amenities are minimal, so if you’re looking for features like a pool or in-room TV, this may not be the right fit. However, if you value a simple, clean environment with thoughtful, personalized service, this is a great choice. The location is very convenient: there’s a restaurant just across the parking lot, and the beach is only a 3–5 minute walk away. You’ll also find plenty of nearby restaurants, bars, and a grocery store within easy walking distance. We didn’t have a car and had no trouble accessing everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again in the future."
