We loved staying at this hotel! Dennis (the owner and ex-pat) is so friendly and helpful. The hotel itself has 7 rooms, all along one corridor. The rooms are small, but very functional and have air conditioning, electricity, and hot water. The pool is small, but perfect to cool off in the mid afternoon heat. The televisions are not hooked...

Dennis, the owner of Hotel Esperanza, was the single friendliest host of a hotel on our entire trip (we stayed in 12 different places – all of them good!) in Costa Rica. He really made his home our home –we were able to use his refrigerator to store a few items, he engaged our 5-year-old son playing in his multiple... More

My Husband and I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Esperanza. Our room was very clean with a rich, Bombay type decor. The showers were hot and had plenty of pressure. A delicious complimentary breakfast consisting of fresh fruit, eggs, French toast, and the best gallo pinto around was also offered with our stay. The pool at the hotel was... More

I stayed 3 nights along with my family, we had a great time there. This hotel is clean, with excellent location. Carrillo is one of the best beaches in CR.

A tasty and generous breakfast was included and served in the cozy outside dining area next to a small but refreshing pool underneath a starfruit tree. A very impressive collection of movies in the lobby's... More

Do not usually write here on TripAdvisor, but the experience at the Hotel Esperanza was so good that it would be wrong not to let others know. Major hospitality is hard to find. Dennis received us with open arms and solved everything he could to make our stay great. Fixed with extra mattress, drying rack so we could wash up... More

My husband and I and our 2 daughters and their husbands had a wonderful three days stay at Hotel Esperanza. Our host, Dennis, made us feel like we were right at home. We enjoyed the delicious breakfasts, the honor bar, the pool, the beach and the clean and comfortable rooms. Dennis recommended a sunset horseback ride that was a highlight... More

Do not hesitate to go at this hotel. Also, don't miss... More
