Hotel Guide - San Josecito Beach hotels in , Costa Rica.

"If you are driving: there is like an hour and a half drive on unpaved roads varying from relatively smooth to incredibly rough supposedly at other points in the year there are streams that require fording. 4x4 recommended. That being said, once you are there, the views are incredible, the rooms are beautiful, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the location is mind-blowing. The rooms are bungalows set on a very steep hill overlooking the bay. The showers (at least in the one we stayed in) had wall cut outs so at night there were various insect and reptilian visitors but whatever its more their home than mine and few made it into the living area. The restaurants nearby are fine, breakfast is included and dinner is available at the sort of clubhouse with reservation and for a fee. The location and staff and view made up for the steep climb to the room from the beach and long off road drive to the site. I would stay here again absolutely. "

"The cabina had an extra extraordinary view. We loved that the bedrooms were closed off and did have air conditioning, but that the rest of the unit was completely open The house cleaning staff did an excellent job of cleaning every morning I had laundry done, and it was very reasonably priced and done very well The unit is within walking distance to almost everything but best of all the beach is right there!"

"False advertising. Didn’t have air conditioning. "

"This was a fantastic opportunity for our family to experience Costa Rica away from the hustle of the mainland. We had amazing jungle experience and saw a ton of exotic wildlife without even taking a tour to Corcovado. Great beaches. The hosts were amazing and very helpful. This was an 11/10 for sure."

"We chose this hotel for its close proximity to the dive shop we used . Only 11 rooms with a nice pool and lovely lush vegetation on the back side .We even saw a toucan right at the pool as well as many other birds ! The only fly in the ointment for us was our air conditioner seemed to have a mind of it's own . It did work but started running water out of the unit inside our room and right over my nightstand which soaked my phone and kindle . All good in the end !"

"We love love LOVED our stay here!!! Just thinking about our time here makes me want to be back in Costa Rica!! I thought it might not be our kind of place - and I also didn't realise the Corcovado day trip boats could pick you up from there - but I chose to spend a couple of nights there so that we'd be half-way along the Drake Bay Trail. But it actually turned out to be one of our favourite stays in Costa rica (and we traveled the country for a month!). Firstly, it was right on a beautiful beach great for swimming, handily positioned on the free trail so you could more easily walk both ways, and the accommodation was super clean with excellent aircon. But the hosts are what make me almost cry wanting to be back - such a lovely lovely family! When we got there we weren't sure where we were and a teenage boy came across us. I think we were a bit early and he said they were just cleaning the room (honestly the whole place was beautifully spotless!) and then proudly showed us his church and his school (1 teacher, 4 students), both right on the beach (the cabins are right off the beach behind them). That night there was a opossum and the family called us to see - and then bought us some large turtles to show us from the creek! The next night when we had a knock on the door we were very excited and rightly so - Christian wanted to know if we wanted to go for a walk & see scorpions etc! Soo cool! We also had wonderful (complimentary) breakfasts and gorgeous dinners! Take me back! "

"Excellent comminications leading up to our stay and welcome was just as good. Lovely room with balcony area with seating nice touch Huge bathroom and shower to boot! Perfectly located to walk to the seafront for excursions and close to all the main restaurants. Breakfast ordered the day before with time slot - great start to your day!"

"This a beautiful property with rustic cabins. There are amazing views as it is high up. We saw many birds from our balcony including green parrots and toucans. It is quite a climb from the road, definitely not accessible, but close to Drake Bay beach, a grocery store and several restaurants. The staff were friendly and helpful. We pre-arranged a tour to Corcovado National Park through the hotel and it went great. You can order breakfast the day before and have it specially prepared for you at whatever time you need it. It was very good and plentiful. Some drinks are available to purchase in the reception area where you can sit and look out over the beautiful bay. We bought a few beers and some water. Very nice place."

"We were prepared for no hot water, no AC, no cell service, but we were not prepared for the overall shady communication, vibes and charges. We booked this hotel to be close to Corcovado, and booked a tour with the hotel. When we asked for details, they said they said that the communication from Expedia was poor, and they only booked our snorkeling tour. We asked to cancel the snorkeling because the national park was our priority. She said they couldn't because they already bought the tickets. Turns out, it was their family member that lived on property that ran the tour. This made her so upset that she went out of her way to make us uncomfortable the entire stay. Very immature. She was the daughter of the owner. They also tried to charge us for the stay, even though we paid Expedia 3 weeks before. I had to pull up my receipt and credit card transaction to prove we already paid. She still wanted us to pay, but eventually said "Expedia always holds back the payment for a month". So they were just hoping we forgot? Also, two men walked onto our private porch and stole my husband's sunglasses. He was afraid to say something to them, but we saw them later and they looked affiliated with the hotel. They saw the boat off when we left. Would not recommend. Breakfast was also poor, but the other meals were pretty good. Restaurant staff were super nice."
