Hotel Amira ★★★

"We loved this hotel. The rooms were large and clean. The pool was top notch. The staff were friendly and did an excellent job. Several nice restaurants within walking distance. Adjacent to a soccer field where we saw parts of some night games.The beach was absolutely fabulous."

Nammbú Beach Front Bungalows ★★★★

El Sueno Tropical Hotel ★★★

"Our recent stay at El Sueno Tropical was fantastic. The location is great, it is quiet and yet close enough to 3 beaches in the area. There is a store near by and lots of activities to do. We had the superior double room, which was perfect for a family with 2 children (2 bedrooms with one queen and 2 twins and a living area with couch and well equipped kitchenette including a large fridge) Beds were very comfortable and rooms were bright, nice and clean (recently renovated). The grounds are beautiful and the pool is really nice, an area where you definitely want to hang out and relax. The restaurant offers great food and the pizza is a must try ;) The bar has a nice atmoshere where you can mingle with other guests. We felt very welcome and at home. The owners Erin and Drew were exceptional hosts. They made sure every guest is happy and were very helpful with booking activities in the area and beyond. We already miss this place and are surely coming back! "

Cabinas El Colibri, Apart Hotel ★★

"What a fabulous find. We visited three times during our stay and each visit was excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is amazing. Steaks are succulent and so well cooked. But so is the chicken and the salmon. Deserts are also the best we have had throughout our stay in Costa Rica. However the empanadas are really special. So well filled, crisp, and succulent. A brilliant find in such a remote place."

Villas Welcome to Heaven ★★★

"Our stay here was perfect. The host was wonderful and very helpful in suggesting local activities. The rooms are luxurious and the pool was so much fun for our kids. Puerto Carillo is a quiet town with a beautiful beach and is close to many attractions."

Leyenda Boutique Hotel & Spa ★★★★

Hotel Casa Buenavista - Adults Only ★★★

"We’ve been in Costa Rica for over 4 months and have stayed at 14 different places. We rated this as #14. Lots of challenges with internet, electricity, plumbing, unclean and many more. We decided to leave after 5 days when a picture fell off the wall and hit me in the head when I was lying in bed. Bottom line: our apartment was dusty and nothing like the pictures. European owner hasn’t adopted the Pura Vida philosophy. I’ll leave it at that."

Relaxing Carrillo Bay-Walk to Beach, Restaurants, 3-7 bdrms great for families. ★★
