Cabo Velas Hotel Guide - Beach Hotels in Cabo Velas, Guanacaste

"Room and area around the hotel is always clean and maintained properly by staff. Especially Felix who is always around to help if needed. This is a rustic hotel and many locals from in and around Costa Rica come to visit and stay. It’s welcoming and comforting if that’s the vibe you are after. There are many noises. Roosters all day every day, doesn’t matter the time of day. Birds. And lots of them. Then you have the busy intersection, there are Sodas (local restaurants) in the area behind the hotel, and the gives a vibe of liveliness. Which I didn’t mind at all, it added to the experience of Pura Vida. The proximity to everything you need and want is within walking distance. "

"The room was clean and simple. Airco worked very well and staff is friendly. It was nice to have a good restaurant attached to the hotel. For anyone who is looking for a short stay in Brasilito this is a great option. They even organized a surf lesson for the kids "

"La comida muy rica, para el turista local muchos del staff los que se encargan de realizar las actividades de piscina y la mayoria de bartenders tienen un trato muy diferenciado si es extranjero a si es Costarricense, el staff se conoce el negocio que es turismo, pero si es turista local, piénselo, no lo hacen sentirse a gusto o no le dan el trato y la calidad de bebidas como si fuera extranjero. Los saloneros de los restaurantes sí son excelentes."

"Great resort for families. Beach was beautiful and the staff was very friendly. Pool was perfect for my kids, with three different shallow areas where they could play. The resort yacht tour was amazing and easily a highlight of the stay. We did the morning snorkel to Honeymoon Beach and it felt like a private tour. Easily accessible to see wildlife in nearby places. "

"Great staff! We loved the bartender Dillon:) The property could be a little cleaner and the rooms are a little basic. We loved the view and the hotel was nice overall! "

"room was comfortable, AC quiet and effective. Access to beach is fantastic, a very short walk. Shuttle and taxi easily arranged by staff. Restaurant good with others nearby. Staff throughout very helpful."

"The staff was very friendly and available. The location is ideal to be close to beaches and shops without having to be right inside it, although recommend you have your own rental transportation so you can come and go as you please."

"Love the place, the pool was lovely and mostly quiet plenty of sitting available. The room was clean and well stocked with a full fridge, dishes everything you’d need. They don’t supply paper towels or dish soap so would want to get that before heading to the area. There is a tiny store but it’s not very equipped. Also you’re in jungle wooden area lot of bugs ants mostly take bug killer. Staff excellent and helpful. You are not on the beach but you have private access to it just across the way. There are 3 restaurants close by prices are American prices, not cheap. Buy snacks and food before heading to the area it will save you a ton of money. The hotel itself has no food or drinks. Within a mile or less down the beach you can cross by boat $2pp to Tamorino very active a lot shopping, restaurants and nightlife if that’s what you like. The hotel can set you up for tours and they will pick you up at the hotel. Bottom line this is a nice calm hotel but everything you want extra is close enough to get to. If you rent a car they have parking right out front it’s a safe this area is very clean and protected. Again, I would shop at a store before heading out to this hotel because it doesn’t have much of a selection. All the restaurants were good and the fresh fish was amazing. Have a fantastic vacation. Monkeys everywhere in the trees keep your eyes open. Turtles are fairly close down the beach also ask the front desk they will help you. "

"I would highly recommend staying at Guanacaste Lodge! It is a simple, older property that you can see is very well maintained. The room and property are extremely clean and comfortable. The hostess is very sweet and helpful and the breakfast is super! There is no shade at the pool or lounge chairs in midday so be prepared for extremely hot! There are covered tables for picnic. Super close to Playa Flamingo and very good food. Ate at the Tiki and Pleamar, both very good food & service and very close to the lodge."
