Independent hotels in Tempate, Guanacaste

"The hotel, rooms, location, and staff were absolutely amazing. "

"Beautiful community!"

"We had a great time here for our stay! Taco, Freddy & the rest of the staff were very accommodating & so friendly. Can’t wait to visit again! "

"The property was delightful and our late arrival still was warmly welco ed by the manager and her husband. We felt safe to walk the beach and surrounding streets which have some great little eating places. This place was the perfect end to our stay in Costa Rica."

"This villa is the full package!! From its location right on the beach to the attentive staff and amazingly helpful owners you won’t be disappointed! We utilized the chef services and both meals were outstanding! The maintenance, cleaning and security were very friendly and helpful, what a great team you get with this villa! We honestly can’t wait to come back!! Rent golf carts, visit Pura for breakfast and Gecko’s for lunch or dinner they are within walking distance of the villa! Take a ride on Rickdiculius if it is available during your stay, super fun time and an awesome crew come with it! "

"We had a total of 12 people staying at Casa Natalia and we loved it! The house is beautiful, clean and perfectly located for a stay in Potrero. The concierge, Jimmy is fantastic, helping to not only prepare for our trip but arranging last minute requests. The housekeeper was a nice bonus, making the house feel like a hotel with fresh towels, made beds, etc. and the night security guard was also a nice bonus, although we always felt safe. We enjoyed hanging out at the beach, everything you need is at the house with beach chairs, beach towels, umbrellas and wave boards. The pool is beautiful and great for lounging with the sun deck chairs! We are a music group and absolutely loved that the house had Bluetooth speakers setup throughout! From the amazing sunsets to watching monkeys from the street facing balcony, we had a great time - 10 out of 10! There is construction going on next door but it never bothered us and will be complete soon (I believe at the end of 2025). "

"Let me start by helping others avoid getting lost when finding this hotel/resort. When searching on Google, it directed us to a different location—but luckily, it was close to the actual hotel. Make sure to look for Villaggio Sueño al Mar, Flor de Pacifico #5 (the correct location). Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by security, who will direct you to the main office. I booked a villa for a family of four, which came with two bedrooms. The villa had a kitchenette, which made it more affordable to cook rather than eating out all the time. Housekeeping came by every other day to keep the place clean. Keep in mind, this place can be a bit loud—almost like staying in the rural areas of Costa Rica. You’ll hear birds chirping, iguanas running around the premises, cows nearby, and even howler monkeys. One of the best parts is its location: close to beaches, local restaurants called “sodas” in Costa Rica, and small markets. Just be warned—there are bugs, and they will make their way inside (ants and millipedes). Bring bug spray, because mosquitoes will find you. Aside from that, I truly enjoyed my stay at Sueño al Mar—from the friendly, helpful staff to the unique, almost jungle-like experience."

"We had a wonderful time at Surfside. The dining room and kitchen area worked well for large family dinners. We enjoyed the pool and courtyard and the bedrooms were well decorated and very clean and comfortable."

"Amazing place to base yourself near Flamingo and Potrero beaches and local restaurants and groceries. Immaculate new kitchenware and appliances and thoroughly cleaned and the hosts were v communicative over Whatsapp. Would love to stay here again before too long!"
