Puerto Carrillo Hotels

"Friendly staff. Great amenities. Love the garden room with little patio and outdoor shower!"

"What a wonderful resort. The beds were comfortable the air conditioning appreciated and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Also, when you stay at an all inclusive resort it can tend to have mediocre food. That was not the case with this property. Our lunches and dinners were fantastic and it just added to our trip being delicious and relaxing!"

"Great place, beautiful property in an awesome location. You can do easy hikes through the adjacent reserve, if you walk down the beach you’re in town within 20-30 minutes. Food and service were great and staff was on point throughout the stay. "

"Eight of us spent a delightful week. We had the house and one of the two adjacent apartments. Outdoor living was great. AC in the sleeping areas was fine. The kitchen is well equipped. Pool was great, although there isn't a shallow end for little non-swimmers. Lots of floaties are provided. There is plenty of beach equipment. You can walk to the beach but the hill is steep. We mostly drove. The beach is great, not manicured white sand but large and uncrowded with great waves. Except for the howler monkeys who supplied a morning and evening chorus (so cool!), Carrillo is quiet and uncrowded. There are a couple of nice restaurants, one across the street and the other around the corner. Our host, David, arranged for a cook to come in and prepare supper for us on three evenings. Viviana was great! The midweek cleaning and linen change was a pleasant surprise. Everything was clean, comfortable, and worked properly. The host lives next door and took care of any question or issue promptly. We were delighted with our stay."

"This place was the highlight of our trip! The room was spacious and clean. The property grounds were immaculate and gorgeous! The staff was helpful and friendly and the food was delicious! The pool overlooking the sea was awesome! Samara is a short drive away and the beach is within walking distance from the property! We highly recommend this place! "

"The most amazing property where you will feel right home and enjoy the home and indoor outdoor living space. We were a party of 12 with kids and adults and everyone enjoyed. Pictures do not do the beauty of the place justice. We enjoyed many beautiful sunsets. "

"Hung up in unbelievable traffic in Santa Cruz, I was not able to check into the hotel until 7 AM the next day when they reopened. So I don't have the overnight experience one expects. That said, the room was very clean, the shower had good hot water, and I did get a morning nap on the bed. Fort7nately, it is off the road a bit. But noise carries and young Costa Ricans love their motorcycles. So if you are super noise sensitive that might bother you, but the traffic is really light on that road in the night time."

"I’m not particularly spiritual, but I practically had a religious experience here, floating in a beautiful pool under a moonlit sky, surrounded by the chatter of five or six monkeys hiding in the trees next to me.In the morning we would ride down into town to grab coffees and pastries and dance on the dusky sand with our kids, finding tiny crabs and strange shells in the warm water. I would go back in a heartbeat."
