"The property is fantastic, so is the staff, friendly and very helpful. The restaurant on the property is incredible I recommend the pizza and the ravioli. It's quiet and easy to get to the National park or the beach."

"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."

"This place is a Jim, I was so glad to have booked this hotel. It is a bit up the hill, but the view is phenomenal and the staff was amazing and dedicated to make sure my stay was perfect.
The beds were extremely comfortable, the pillows were fluffy, the air conditioning worked great, the rooms were big with a private patio, the shower was super clean. I definitely recommend and I will go back for sure."

"We loved our stay here. Our room had plenty of space, it was clean, the kitchen was well equipped and there was great seating in front and back of our unit. We saw macaws, tucans and squirrel monkeys from the front and back patio areas! What a treat. "

"A great place to stay! The view from the balcony was the highlight, the ocean and surroundings were exceptional! The property has well maintained gardens and wild life abound-far more than what we saw on the park tour! Capuchin and squirrel monkeys were regular visitors, including howler monkeys, toucans and a sloth in the nearby trees! The villa itself was well equipped, but could use updating. William, the host, was welcoming, kind and helpful."

"Very nice little hotel, great for stays where you will spend most of the time outside. We had some slightly noisy neighbors one night but not sure if it was other guests or just noisy neighbors from around the hotel’s vicinity. "

"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. "
