From April 26th to May 3rd/2008 I spent 7 wonderful days at Playa Hermosa as a guest at a wedding held there. I can not say enough about the incredible staff and wonderful accommodation. I stayed in one of the new suites which was beautifully crafted from local wood and had all the ammenities of home. The air conditioning was... more

My Husband and I stayed at Hotel Playa Hermosa for 10 nights in mid-April; it was the best vacation we have ever had. The Hotel staff was friendly and very accommodating. We highly recommend getting the deluxe room (it is well worth the extra money). The food was excellent, and the restaurant staff was so friendly and welcoming. The beach... more

We stayed at the Hotel Playa Hermosa Bosque Del Mar at Playa Hermosa, Province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica along with 50 of our favourite friends and family for what turned out to be a fabulous destination wedding! My husband and I were there from April 26/08 to May 3/08 and thrived on the excellent food and the amazing service of... more

My family (myself, wife, 4 & 6 year old boys) stayed here for five nights in early-April. After reading many of the reviews on here I had high hopes for the hotel. I'm happy to say my hopes were met and exceeded. Simply put it was a great, quiet place for our family and boys. Great location on an almost... more

Lots of positives about this place that mirror previous reviewers' comments. However, be aware of some big negatives. The front desk manager is the most surly, sullen Costa Rican I have ever encountered. Actually, he was the only surly, sullen Tico I met as everyone else I met was friendly and warm. I saw him look at a friendly child's... more

We were pretty disappointed in our stay. First, I will say that this hotel has the best position on the beach among the Playa Hermosa hotels. If this is your #1 criterion, perhaps you should stay here. The beach was lovely, and the "bosque" was also pretty nice. The staff was relatively helpful, but several times we were left either... more

I was at Hotel Playa Hermosa from 2/11-17 and had a wonderful time. We splurged a minimal amout and got one of the newer deluxe suites. We were on the second floor in room 106 and LOVED it! The room was large, with a large bedroom, BR and living area with a coffee machine & fridge that was decent sized.... more

I have just returned from a vacation spending a few days at this hotel. My overall view was the hotel was Ok - nothing great. We were in an older room which needed a bit of work, chipping paintwork, threadbare towels and more than the average number of bugs for a costa rican hotel. On the plus side the pool... more

As someone who travels quite extensively I will say that there were many good things about this hotel, some not so good as well. I went to Playa Hermosa for two days with two of my travel agent friends. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly and shown to our room. Our room was clean but was in definate need of... more
