The whole vacation experience was top notch from start to finish. Incredible attention and compassion destroyed by all staff. I would absolutely return to stay again. So Accommodating and friendly. Food was delicious. Happy hour was convenient. Not too many vendors on the public beach (no private beaches in Costa Rica). Could not have asked for a better experience!
Spider monkeys seen on site. Howler monkeys heard at night but not loud at all

We had the oceanfront room and it was great. Very spacious with a separate room with sofa bed. The room was large with a huge balcony. There was a very comfortable double lounger on the balcony which was great for lounging and enjoying the view through the trees and listening to the surf. The balcony could have used an additional sitting area with small table. The bathroom can be fully opened with a curtain on the outside and bathtub essentially outside on the deck. Kind of cool but also a bit inconvenient to have to close the curtain on the outside for bathroom privacy. We did try the tub open to the outside which was nice but not really private. The hotel grounds are small so no opportunity to enjoy resort type grounds. The beach was nice. It’s a mile long so you can walk for quite a while. There were loungers always available and plenty of trees to provide shade. There are a few beach vendors who will approach you but most are polite and accept a no gracias and move on. There are also people selling tours but we didn’t partake in any. The restaurant was good but a bit expensive. It’s open air so flys were a nuisance at times. We saw monkeys on 4 occasions over 4 days which was a treat. There were also some iguanas and a nice bird that visits the restaurant. We only visited the bar once on happy hour and had a good piña colada. Overall a good stay but a little on the expensive side. We stayed in a regular room the last night which was just average, recommend the oceanfront.

Nice pool, friendly and helpful staff, some notes

Very helpful staff. Absolutely beautiful grounds and building among the nature! Great location, easy parking, secure. Really enjoyed our stay. Couple notes for them to consider: They could do a better job at keeping the hawkers from harassing guests at the beach and every time coming/going between hotel and the beach. They camped out and would often bother. Also the restaurant options and pricing could use a re-work, though I'm sure the food was good. There was no mattress in the pull-out sofa, and despite multiple attempts it just kept getting replaced with regular mattresses (so you couldn't fold up the couch). I saw staff carrying around fold-out couch mattresses outside, so they were around, dunno why it was such a challenge.

Bryan did a great job as my concierge. Was only at the hotel for two nights. Staff is extremely friendly and the location is safe. My only negative is I wish my room was facing the ocean, I would prefer blinds instead of the curtains they had. They are either all open or all closed no middle option. People could see right into my room. The restaurant at the resort is very nice and the food is fresh and tasty. However unfortunately there were cockroaches on the floor of the restaurant when I ate dinner. I would also recommend trying to eat at other beaches like coco, the restaurants around playa hermosa are overpriced

This was a last minute choice as I had forgotten to have a reservation as I went through immigration. I had searched this properly and booked it to get through immigration, while standing in line. So glad I did! This location is peaceful, quiet, clean, and beachfront. Tuna tartar excellent! Lomo cooked to perfection. Carpaccio de lomo even better, great mixture of flavors without smothering the dish. Kind, knowledgeable and helpful staff at every level. Small market in walking distance. ¡Pura vida!

Bosque del Mar has potential but missed the mark. The prices were outrageous for low season; the hotel was dead. The restaurant we didn’t bother with because the food looked below average. Playa hermosa is very sleepy town and most places closed for low season. Went into Coco daily for food. Beach was nice, but we left most days to check out other beaches. Pool needs to be cleaned throughout the day with a net because of bugs, leaves, etc. Stayed in the Opone suite which was nice but not worth the extra money; no beach view. Shares patio with other Opome suite which was fine. 804 looked nicer than our room 803. Definitely need a car to get around the area. Wouldn’t be back… will stay in Coco or Tamarindo.

Great time in quiet Playa Hermosa!

This is a great property and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff is super helpful with special call out to Diego who helped us find surfing lessons in Tamarindo on our last day at the last minute! We loved our stay here. I highly recommend it. I would say just a smidge pricey for not including breakfast...but all in all, no complaints!

The pictures of this hotel do not do it justice. The cove is beautiful, the design of the rooms is so lux, and views are remarkable. The food and drinks were a bit too pricey, but there is a grocery store nearby and there are some cheaper dining options down the beach. I would come back to this hotel every year if I could. So unique!

This was a great place to stay on a very nice beach. The room was very nice. Pool was ok but also kinda what we expected, still refreshing at 85 degrees. Same temp as the ocean. The sand is scorching hot so wear sandals. We walked down the beach to other restaurants for dinners because the food was better / different. Pitch black walk on the beach was interesting and the “path” was also oddly populated with people in the dark.
