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.

We enjoyed our one week stay at Bosque Del Mar. The staff was very friendly and helpful especially Diego at the front desk and Alexis and Sofi at the restaurant. We did not have a problem eating at the restaurant each day as there was a variety of selections for our family (including a very picky child) and everything was fresh and delicious. We appreciate Alexis packing us breakfast one day when we had an early pick up for our excursion. Our room was spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was spacious especially the shower area. The access to the beach was a big plus as well. The pool was small but beautiful. We just hope that they change or add paddings to their lounge chairs to make them more comfortable. We liked that the hotel gave us a relaxing stay and offered easy services to explore the area. Overall we highly recommend this hotel as it added to many good memories to our first trip to Costa Rica.
