We enjoyed our one week stay at Bosque Del Mar. The staff was very friendly and helpful especially Diego at the front desk and Alexis and Sofi at the restaurant. We did not have a problem eating at the restaurant each day as there was a variety of selections for our family (including a very picky child) and everything was fresh and delicious. We appreciate Alexis packing us breakfast one day when we had an early pick up for our excursion. Our room was spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was spacious especially the shower area. The access to the beach was a big plus as well. The pool was small but beautiful. We just hope that they change or add paddings to their lounge chairs to make them more comfortable. We liked that the hotel gave us a relaxing stay and offered easy services to explore the area. Overall we highly recommend this hotel as it added to many good memories to our first trip to Costa Rica.

The staff was beyond helpful!! Extremely kind and accommodating. Everyone was exceptional but two people stood out: Shirley and Diego! I will definitely be back to this hidden gem of paradise!! We went with our whole family (12 people and 5 rooms) this resort gives you the best of both worlds.. walk in pool and amazing beach. The restaurant was amazing especially breakfast and as expected the coffee was delicious. I could go on and on. Great memories made and I can’t wait to go back!!

We've stayed here several times because it's a decent beach near the airport. The grounds are beautiful. The hot tub is not hot. The yoga class was nice. The music in the restaurant is horrible. I'd rather listen to the ocean waves than elevator music. Also they need new curtains. Sheer curtains where you can see out, they have these heavy blinds that cover the entire wall.

Great place to stay

Beautiful hotel with environment that really makes it seem like a tropical rainforest, especially in the dry Guanacaste region. Friendly staff, delicious food that is reasonably priced for the area and hotel. Monitored parking across the street. Fantastic quiet and low key beach. And you have to love the sound of howler monkeys in the morning. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Close to the beach ! Clean rooms and good service. Restaurant is good but choices are limited and expensive. Location is not ideal and we had to go to playa del coco for food. Couple of minor issues that did not bother us is they had water issues for like 30 mins and power went off in the middle of the night for like 10 mins.
