Tárcoles Hotel Guide - Playa Agujas hotels in Tárcoles, Costa Rica.

"Pool was very enjoyable "

"This is a very strange property. There are a lot of hotels, private condominiums sharing the same facilities but having separate gated access. The common grounds, however, aren’t being looked after so well. The Selvamar section we stayed in was okay, but a bit tired now. Room was much smaller than anywhere else we stayed in Costa Rica, but it was comfortable. Breakfast was decent, but the restaurant by the main pool where we had a dinner wasn’t the best and not worth the money they charge. Two pools are kids friendly and they are of pretty decent size, but not very deep. Some other activities, like mini golf, are charged separately. There is a new high-rise apartment building buying built right by the main pool area & beach, which will look awful. I wouldn’t stay here again, because it doesn’t provide the Costa Rica experience I like, it’s more like something taken out of Benidorm, but I do understand why some might be very keen on it."

"We had never been to Costa Rica before so we didn’t know quite what to expect. Take the transportation from the airport. Once we got to the house, it was fabulous. The house is clean, and the staff are second to none. Every meal prepared for us was absolutely delicious. The views are spectacular and we very much enjoyed the infinity pool and the hot tub. The concierge service booked our excursions and arranged for transportation to pick us up at the house. We had 9 people in our group and created many beautiful memories for years to come. We very much hope to be able to come again and would definitely stay here again."

"We were in CR for a month and stayed here for five days. We loved the quiet gated community with a pool and plenty of wildlife. The villa was perfect for us with just a short drive to several beaches and markets. Mary has the house fully stocked to make your beach experience easy for travelers; beach chairs, an umbrella, beach towels etc. Our favorite part was watching the monkeys and macaws out by the pool in the evenings. We highly recommend this for those with their own transportation and the desire to be out of the crowds. "

"Pedro the host was amazing and helped us with whatever issues arose. This condo is situated in a beautiful natural park like setting and has direct access to a white sand pristine beach. We enjoyed that the condo was clean and well equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Loved the outdoor patio. Felt safe at this condo. I hope to come again!"

"This Vrbo was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we had stepped into our own private slice of Costa Rica—total seclusion, breathtaking surroundings, and a level of peace that’s increasingly hard to find.The host Juan Carlos was exceptional: warm, proactive, and incredibly responsive. Any question we had—during our stay—was answered almost instantly, with thoughtful local insights and genuine care. It felt less like renting a property and more like being welcomed by friends who truly want you to have an unforgettable experience.The property management - Chris was equally outstanding. The home was impeccably clean—hotel-level spotless, but with the comfort and soul of a private residence. Every detail was clearly cared for, from the crisp linens to the pristine outdoor spaces. You could tell this place is run with pride and professionalism.And the seclusion—wow. Surrounded by nature, with no noise, no crowds, and no distractions, it was the ultimate place to unplug and reset. Yet somehow, everything you need is perfectly dialed in. It’s that rare balance of being off-the-grid while still having access to excursions.If you’re looking for a Costa Rica experience that delivers privacy, beauty, flawless service, and total tranquility, this is it!"

"Great host, house as advertised."

"Excellent place."

"Older hotel and basic rooms. Could use a facelift. Driveway in is dangerous to get in and out of."
