Top Playa Colonia Hotel Reviews

Alborada Boutique Stay

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 4 nights at this little gem. The staff gives away family atmosphere. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner Mayra and I felt like she was family, super friendly and accommodating. The room was spotless, very cozy and pretty. The pool is very inviting and every room is facing it, as soon as you open the door it's right there, I would say the place is very Instagrammeable. Breakfast is delicious and they serve it hot for you. The location is very convenient, you can walk to a lot of restaurants, to tour operating companies, to the beach/national park. We had a rental car and it was nice to have a private secure parking spot for it, but the hotel has bikes that you can use for free and you can move around the area comfortably in them. You can book your boat tours directly with them as well. Also, we were talking to the owner and she let us know that they're working on building a spa, I'll be using it next time for sure as it will be ready soon and we're planning another trip in a short time hopefully!"

Yuli Hotel

Morning Glory

10/10 Excellent

"What a great stay we had at this beautiful, relaxing place! The owners had clearly put a lot of care into providing for guests needs. Well equipped kitchen. Range of seating on the balcony overlooking the fantastic pool and garden."

Cedrela Beach Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome host and very good location with new property ! Loved it!"

Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This property is stunningly beautiful. Very clean. Worth the drive up the mountain. Staff are very nice and helpful."

La Cusinga Lodge

8/10 Good

"The view was amazing and staff were very friendly. I did not realize that the rooms did not have A/C, so things were hot the first night (reception closed at 8:00), but they were able to get me another fan the second night l, which made things better. Overall, we really enjoyed the stay which included access to a local swimming hole which was very refreshing. The restaurant was the most expensive meal we had in Costa Rica and to be honest, the food was not bad, but not good. Definitely not worth the money spent. We found food more reasonably priced and better tasting outside the resort. I would strongly recommend this site if you want great views, friendly staff, the feeling of being alone, and don’t mind no AC."

Tropical Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The guy at the front desk was super sweet and helped me a lot. They were kind and the pool was very warm."
