We enjoyed the small details—sweet treats in the afternoon, watermelon water, post surf showers. Also shout out to Carlos, our surf instructor, for getting us up on boards immediately, his storytelling, and his unfettered joy."

"Unsure what makes this an eco retreat aside from the fact they ask you to bring your own water bottle to refill with water they provide and there is no hot water for showers. The property has a lot of potential but it felt maybe slightly neglected. There was a lot of debris on the ground, the kitchen area was really dirty and the room had rusty racks and shower curtains that allowed water to spray out all over the floor.

Top Playa Azul Hotel Reviews

Azul Hotel & Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"A very nice place with friendly and helpful staff. The road getting there is a little rough but manageable. We were there in the low season but the place was still upkept very nicely."

TreeTops

10/10 Excellent

"Very private very secluded area . Jack and Karen are awesome. We loved hanging out and talking with them beautiful views beautiful beaches!"

Cocobolo Beach Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We very much enjoyed our stay at Cocobolo. Easy access to the water, watched the monkeys play in the trees from our deck, and it was quiet and low key. They did not have breakfast on site but there are other options close by."

Hotel Luna Azul

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding staff. Gave us great local recommendations and very attentive. Bungalows are clean, but simple. The property is outside the main tourist spots, but the beaches close by are even better."

Ostional Turtle Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Good A/C, nice sized room. Appreciated the "larger" mini frudge and coffee maker in the room. Very helpful woth local resources and advice on best travel routes. Got to see a mother howler monkey nursing her baby in the tree just adjacent to the room. Room walls are concrete, so couldn't hear anything from adjacent rooms. Much more serene atmosphere than the hectic pace and crowds in Nosara and Guiones beach areas. Would definitely stay again. Thank you, Louie for wonderful hospitality."

Bohemian Luxury Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were very comfortable (best sleep we had on our trip to Costa Rica) and we loved the pool, the beach, the sunsets, and the star gazing at night. We were there with our family. It is a bit remote so good idea to bring games and snacks if traveling with kids. The restaurant on the premise is expensive but serves creative dishes by a Michelin star chef using local ingredients."

Buddha Retreat Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff were lovely and inviting. Room was clean and comfortable. This hotel and restaurant combination is safe, friendly, comfortable, and relaxing. Beautiful beach is very close walk. "
