"Amazing staff and perfect location with a short 2 minute walk thru some palm trees to the beach! Will definitely be recommending this place to friends - had to rank the breakfast 4 stars because there were ants crawling on the fruit at the buffet. BUT....it's Costa Rica so...."

"Fantastic staff, great breakfast. The room was clean, bed is comfortable and very spacious with a great location. There’s walkable restaurants and tons of excursions that will pick you up right at the hotel. I even saw a monkey, which was one of the best highlights of my trip to Costa Rica."

"Great stay. Beautiful landscape/garden and very friendly service. Relatively quiet and calm. No major „attractions“ nearby, but various restaurants and small shops along the street. Everything else requires a car, Uber, or a <$1 bus ride which was very convenient."

"Very nice, unique hotel with an amazing view and an absolutely wonderful staff.
The only downside was that the room was musty when we first arrived and required airing out. As well the plumbing requires attention as the water pressure is very low and the temperature can get very hot. I would worry for the safety of younger children.
Besides that, the staff and the view makes this place an A+ stay."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Absolutely Incredible Stay at Layan Hotel!
Our experience at Layan Hotel in Costa Rica was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond anything you’d normally expect from a resort. Every interaction felt warm, personal, and genuinely caring.
The views were breathtaking. Each morning we watched Costa Rica’s beautiful birds soaring right past our balcony with the Pacific shimmering behind them — absolutely stunning and unforgettable.
A very special thank you to Roy and Justin. These two truly took care of us in ways we never expected. Their kindness, attention to detail, and willingness to help made our stay feel magical.
The location is fantastic — close to everything, making it easy to explore the entire area within just a few minutes. The staff also gave great recommendations for tours and local spots. We did the horseback waterfall tour, and it completely blew our minds. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable, and the whole experience felt authentic and unforgettable.
And the food… wow. The complimentary breakfast was the best we’ve had in all of Costa Rica, and we’ve been here for six weeks! Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared.
We originally booked 5 nights at Layan but ended up staying 10 because they truly spoiled us. The hotel is also spotlessly clean and beds are super comfortable which made the experience even more fantastic.
Layan Hotel exceeded every expectation. "
