The room was very clean and comfortable, and is located in a nicely designed new building within walking distance of the beach area. There is a shared kitchen facility for guests to use, and the building is very secure. The hostess is very friendly and helped us get settled in and oriented in Puntarenas.

This boutique hotel was one of our favorite stays in Costa Rica. They were very helpful when we had to make a change to our itinerary and all the staff were very friendly. The pool was very nice and we really appreciated the secure parking. The breakfast was way above our expectations. It was nice having the beach right across the road. We would definitely stay here again.

This is basically a cruse ship harbor and not much to do in low season. A few bars and stores open. A lot of tour is not given due to no crusie ship arriving in this time of the year. Also, extreme weather resultet in that most tours from Puntarenas was cancelled. If you are planning a vaccation, you should choose another city such as Jaco or Uvita. Very easy to take a 2-3 hour bus shuttle from San Jose, terminal 7-10 for a few dollars.

While the hotel and staff were lovely and helpful the common verandah didn't allow for much privacy. The hotel was also at least 5kms from the rest of the town with no shops or restaurants nearby, so a little isolated. But the beach just across the road was a bonus.

Plenty of restaurants, activities to explore, etc. For me, It totally depends on your hotel. I’ve stayed in Puntarenas many times, but my trip this week to Hotel Puntarenas Beach was, sadly, my worst hotel experience in Puntarenas.

Unfortunately, it seems someone is pocketing the money.

Unfortunately, it seems someone is pocketing the money. The streets are neglected, dirty, and poorly lit. If it's a tourist destination, they should invest in infrastructure. Everything is deteriorating. It could be a beautiful city, but it seems there's corruption or they're simply not interested in improving the country.

A place with all urban amenities, it has shopping areas and a large, excellent plaza. The temperature is typical for the tropics, and the nights are cool. Food prices are reasonable, and there's a variety of options.

Fabulous location with gorgeous views from the room as well as from the pool and breakfast area. The lower jacuzzi in the forest area is absolutely lovely by day and night, a pleasure to bathe and socialise in the midst of nature. Breakfast was delicious and a good choice of possibilities. The hotel is near to restaurants, cafés and shops with a really good range of food and drink on offer. The room was calm, relaxing, comfortable and spacious with very necessary and effective airconditioning.

Comfy beds. Nice located next to the bus station. It's a restaurant and hotel together. You check in inside the restaurant. Owners are kind. Only Spanish speaking. You can have also a breakfast at the restaurant. Place around isn't nice. It's dirty there and stinking. Stay just one night there for the ferry.

There's a restaurant connected to the hotel. I like how quiet it was, I like that there's a terrace going around the whole hotel and that you can lie in the hammock, hear the river and look out on the ocean.
