The Palms at Coco Beach

"It's very, very impersonal, so it's best to leave it alone. No refund will be given if you make a wrong reservation within 2 minutes."

Hotel Villa Del Sol

"Nice little place at the end of the road. Nice gardens and pool. Friendly staff. Avoid the “Economy Room” thought. It’s a strange shaped little room in the same space as reception and breakfast area, so it gets loud by 7am."

Hotel Claudio & Gloria Beach Front

"We drove to El Coco beach on a whim and wanting to find somewhere to stay on the beach. Walked up to the bar and the young lady working there was able to accommodate us on the spot in one of the rooms. The room was super basic but economical and we had the sound of the ocean to lull us to sleep. That's where the good ends. That evening, a rainstorm blown up by a tropical rainstorm in the Gulf dumped rain all night in that area of Costa Rica. We wake up at 2 am and step off the bed into 4 inches of water, our sneakers floating by and a backed up sewer system in the shower. Fortunately, the shower "tray" kept the black water contained in the shower and not contaminated all of our stuff. We move our bags onto chairs and tables and my laptop bag (fortunately no damage except for a few wet documents) and try our best to sleep hoping the water recedes in time for morning. There is literally a river of water out of our front door. So, tropical rainstorms happen... I grew up in the Caribbean so I get it. The hotel also lacks any sort of water mitigation from the parking lot that lies uphill or from all the water running off the roof straight down in front of the doors (no gutters or downspouts to divert it away from the front). But what followed probably ranks as the worst service I have ever seen traveling the world. We wake and the water has receded some so we ask for a mop so we can have a dry floor - no one or mop shows up. We try to dry our stuff, place wet stuff in bags and decide to go eat our included breakfast to make the best of this and realize the guy sitting two tables from us is actually the owner. We never saw him nor any employee throughout the "flood" to apologize or even provide some type of something...?. I think what really bothered me and the reason for this review was basically seeing the owner casually enjoying his breakfast and on his phone the entire time we were in the restaurant with most of our stuff now wet and EVERY single room flooded from the previous evening. I mean, isn't that the kind of all-hands-on-deck crisis that should have everyone helping and dealing with the mess and customers - including the owner? If not, I can't imagine what would be. Anyway, the staff in the restaurant were attentive and the food was pretty good. It's a shame because we were in Costa Rica for ten days and this was our last night. Everywhere we went the people, service and attention were spectacular."

Café de Playa Beach Front Hotel

"We stayed one night here until our resort was ready. The room was comfortable and clean. Staff was very helpful. The room was basic but everything we needed was there. It is fairly quiet at night, we had a good sleep. It is a fairly long walk into the center of town. But right on the beach. The restaurant food and drinks were good, but a little expensive. The rooms were very reasonable."

Bahia Pez Vela Resort

"Our resort was simply beautiful, from our room and pool to the overall property. The food at the restaurant was wonderful, as was the service. Cesar at the office took great care of us, and all of his tour recommendations were top notch. Our entire vacation in Costa Rica was fantastic, and I can’t imagine having a better spot as our home base. Highly recommend."

Hotel Flor de Itabo

"Ik weet niets goeds. Als ik incheck, moest ik eerst bewijzen dat ik een reservering heb. Waarom doe je dat dan als het hotel er niet over kijkt? Ten tweede, de vrouw op de receptie had zich op een spfa voor. We wisten niet dat ze deel uitmaakte van het personeel en we bleef ernstig 3 minuten voor de receptie staan en wachtten tot iemand kwam. Ook de klingons gedrukt. Ze heeft ons niets verteld in het Spaans, maar omdat we geen vertaler hebben, zei ik alleen dat ik een w-LAN nodig had. Pas na een paar minuten heeft ze gelukkig iemand gehaald die ook maar Spaans spreekt. Maar hij was zo slim om ons een w-LAN te geven en zijn vertaler te halen. Maar dat ik moest bewijzen dat ik gereserveerd. Dit is nog nooit gebeurd en dat was echt schande. Zwembad, bar en restaurant zijn al jaren gesloten als voorafgaande waarschuwing, maar nog steeds worden aangekondigd. Reinigen van de kamers is ook niet. Achter de bartheke is meestal een geluidsopname hond die direct belt bij iedereen die daar wil doorkomen... maar geen angst, het is niet de enige hond daar. In de kamer was schimmel en het bad was het ergste wat ik ooit had. Dat kan ik echt niet aan iemand aanbevelen. Neem voor meer geld een ander hotel zonder grap! Het mooiste was de leguaan die ik ooit heb gezien... en de airconditioning die werkt... maar er is niet meer."
