Really pleasant stay, gorgeous location on the beach to enjoy beautiful sunsets, reception staff charming and swim up bar staff great. A few of the breakfast team sometimes looked as though they'd rather be elsewhere and a few bits of maintenance could be improved (planters half way up stairs untended, a bit of flaky paint) but generally a very nice option for a decent price

They've done a wonderful job with this property! This was our 8th accommodation on this trip to Costa Rica, and it had the best of all worlds. Quiet enough to feel remote, but connected to groceries, gas, and services in town. Fantastic A/C in the common space and both bedrooms. A thorough cleaning job, enough towels for a family of 4 (including pool towels), and a very well-equipped kitchen. The owners were so kind to accommodate early check-in so that our young daughters could get settled; they even brought them a high chair and kids' chairs, which they adored! The view from the pool is gorgeous and we appreciated the little outdoor gym, too. We watched the cleaning team wipe down outdoor railings and dust off loungers. They're clearly taking pride in keeping this place up. We would definitely stay again!

Relaxing small beach community with a residential vibe.
Relaxing small beach community with a residential vibe. I prefer Portreo as a base - more than Tamarindo. Amazing local food options, fresh 🍉 produce at the market. The Esmeralda Villas are a place where you can read, unwind and enjoy lush gardens in peace. Then we took day trips to sail, surf, zip line etc. great place if you’re not interested in night clubs. Serene, healthy nature in a small town.

Playa Potrero is the 'middle' beach between 5 local beaches...
Playa Potrero is the 'middle' beach between 5 local beaches in a row and only a few minutes of each other. Each beach is different and has different amenities available. I recommend Playa Penga for those who want a beautiful beach with few people. Playa Danta is also great but a few minutes farther away, also with few people. Potrero has nearby resorts and several nice restaurants, depending on your tastes and budget. Highly recommend the area around Potrero as you can choose the beach that suits you best!

Potrero is a gem of a small beach town.
Potrero is a gem of a small beach town. Locals are friendly, helpful and genuinely welcoming. El Castillo has amazing food and staff. Hemingway’s is a wonderful spot to watch the pelicans and sunset. The staff there is amazing as well. I will be back!

Small town feel but with everything you need within walking...
Small town feel but with everything you need within walking distance: restaurants (great food) pharmacy; bakery; grocery; liquor store; beach activity rentals; long beach for walking and couple restaurants along beach. Not touristy - felt immersed in local community. Short drive to many other beaches and restaurants and adventure activities. It’s a perfect home base.

One of my favorite places to visit in Costa Rica.
One of my favorite places to visit in Costa Rica. I'd recommend a hotel on the outskirts of the village, but transportation is a bit of an issue. Loads of construction currently taking place. I hope it doesn't destroy the laid back authenticity of the countryside/
Small quaint brand new boutique hotel. We had a wonderful experience all around. Beautiful grounds. Rooms were tastefully done. Beds comfortable
DJ the owner was friendly and was very attentive as were all the staff.
There is a restaurant with full bar on site that makes great brick oven pizza and other local fare . It gets lively at night which is fun.. The staff are great there too.
The town authentic Costa Rica. Not overrun by tourists in any sense. We felt very safe at night while walking to the area bars, restaurants and beach.
The room was so large & gorgeous! the saltwater pool was warm & perfect! The hosts, Daniel & Charlotte were warm & friendly! It is modern & spotless & every detail has been thought of...the bathroom was enormous & well appointed! the private outdoor deck was larger than most decks in the US with lounges, table & chairs, a beautiful outdoor kitchen! it was one of the very nicest places we've stayed in during our 12 weeks in Costa Rica!! We will be back!!!
The staff at the hotel were lovely and accommodating! My room was a small room with bathroom that was clean, comfortable, and nice and cool. I was staying right across from one of the two pools. I also enjoyed the breakfast at the restaurant, which was absolutely reasonable, and delicious! The hotel is a few minutes, walk to the beach in a few minutes walk to many shops and restaurants! I would definitely stay here again.
Lovely hotel in Potrero. Close to the beach and felt very secure. The staff was nice and they looked after our bags and let us stay in the communal areas by the pool as we arrived early. Our room was small but very nice with good air conditioning and a ceiling fan. The bathroom and shower were also nice. Pool, garden and dining/outdoor seating area were also very nice with excellent wifi.
Charlotte and Daniel welcomed us in their home and made us feel very comfortable. We spent a great time exchanging about our adventures and travel stories together. The house is very modern and beautiful. We were entirely autonomous and had a private area that was super clean. The location is great, near the beach entrance and little restaurants.
This is a little oasis from the busyness of activities on the coast of Costa Rica. It was so nice to come home to it its tranquility and calm. It was very peaceful. Pura vida personified. Walking distance to the beach and restaurants, very accessible to all the surrounding available activities. Lovely!
The hotel staff is amazing. The rooms are spacious and great for groups. We had a 2 bedroom 2 bath, with full kitchen and dining room. The grounds are beautiful. The sand is black and the water is brown. Not the hotel's fault, but one should know. The grounds are like botanical gardens.
The location directly at the beach is awesome. The music from the bar is not too loud - just softly in the background. The rooms were good - we had the family room (no other space left it seemed) which was a lot of space for 2. We had our own kitchen. The bathroom was sufficient.
Beautiful , peaceful, park like setting. Well maintained grounds and swimming pool. Luis and staff provided excellent customer service. The units were very clean with excellent maid service. The hotel was convenient, private, secure, and affordable.
we stood here for 5 nights, it is a really comfortable place to relax, workout or go diving with Chris, the Owner
The view to Playa Potrero is amazing to see from Bedroom and Outdoor Pool, we had everything we needed to have a good time here.
Beautifully designed, comfortable rooms around a spectacular swimming pool. All brand new; they only opened a few months ago. The owners couldn't be more helpful. A wonderful base to explore the numerous scenic beaches in the area!
Lovely property, very well kept, nice room with bathroom and kitchen, very clean. great little pool in peaceful gardens. we loved it, great to relax and very close to beach and restaurants. would highly recommend.
The condo is pretty nice in a very good location, surrounded by nature, a big pool for afternoon. Near Playa Penca 400m, walking distance to Playa Potrero. By car to Playa Danta and Dantita.
the shower was warm and good.
this hotel has 2 swimming pools.
We arrived before check-in time, this wasn’t a issue for them. close by the quiet beach.
bed is comfortable.
