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

"This resort was beautiful. A good bit off the beaten path but what a jewel when you get there! The rooms were quite spacious and lovely. There was a welcome gift when we arrived of fresh fruits. No matter where you are on the property, you can hear the waves crashing and it is glorious! The resort felt very exclusive and was populated but not crowded at all. Each time I went to the pool or any of the many options for laying out I felt like I had my preference. They had so many options of shaded or sunny spots to relax and enjoy the tropical surroundings. There were several iguanas on the property that loved sunning themselves by the pools as well. We enjoyed the breakfast each morning that was included in our stay but our favorite was lunch. The guacamole was fabulous and paired with the chicken quesadillas it was perfect! This resort was excellent for relaxing. We also took advantage of the spa. The couple's massage with the sound of the ocean was fantastic! Easily one of our favorites of all time and we love a good spa day!! As I stated in the beginning, Azul hotel and retreat is off the beaten path and you will need to rent a car. I'd suggest flying into Liberia Airport but it will still be a long drive to ANY of the resorts, but a lot longer if you fly into San Juan like we did. I loved the Azul Hotel and Retreat and I'm very glad we found such a great place to stay with wonderful employees that took great care of us!"

"We found the home comfortable and very clean (and I'm picky about cleanliness). It is located in a remote area, a half hour drive to restaurants/stores, and is peaceful and serene. The pool was nice, and we enjoyed seeing the nearby wildlife. The howler monkeys hung around the entire week we were there. Our friend stayed in the lower level and the sofa/bed was comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped and we felt welcome. As this was the first vacation rental for the owners, we left a list of comfort items that will be helpful for future guests. It was a pleasant stay, and Udo, the property manager, was very nice and responsive. "
