The owners were very friendly and offered great recommendations for dinner. We arranged this hotel through the dive shop we planned our scuba thru (Deep Blue Divers). We visited over Easter weekend (which meant the town was packed). We paid $100/night including Costa Rican breakfast, free parking, and free wifi. Our only to complaints are the lack of water pressure... More

My husband and I stay here for two nights in December and thought it was great. Elisabeth was very nice and helpful. As soon as we got there she got out a map of the town and told us where all the important things are (cash machine, stores, etc.) and recommended some great restaurants, including the sodas which serve delicious...

I've stayed at this property many times throughout the years and one thing I can say is that my stay is consistently good. The rooms are clean, comfortable beds, plenty of hot water, great water pressure, in room safe, refrigerator (stocked with water, soda and beer), good A/C and a nice TV with plenty of multilanguage channels. The grounds are... More

I, as well as close family members (mother and grandmother!) have stayed here several times off and on through the years and Alessandro and his staff have never failed to impress. From rooms that are beautifully and very comfortably done with all the amenities to amazing grounds to the quiet location in a noisy, busy town, you just can't go... More

Great grounds, nice facility, helpful staff, but room windows don't open, AC is really loud, and ceiling fan bearings seemed to be worn out making the fan really noisy. Consequently, one either swelters in a still room or lies awake listening to the AC or fan. Too bad, really close to the beach and nice people.

This place is a great place to stay in Coco. It's just the right size (small, but not too small - maybe 12 rooms?), has really nice grounds (an a private porch out the front of each room) and a nice pool. Location is perfect (close enough to walk to the main street, but far enough away to be quiet)... More

My boyfriend and I stayed in this beautiful hotel for five nights with a diving trip planned through Deep Blue Diving company. The hotel was perfect because it was off the main street but only a five minute walk away from all the restaurants and shopping and a two minute walk from the beach where we met with the dive...

La Puerta del Sol was the perfect hotel to stay at while my wife and I visited Playas del Coco on our honeymoon. We chose the hotel after reading a good review about it in our travel book and planned on only staying one night. A week later, we had spent our entire honeymoon there and were heading back to...

I stayed here as part of a dive & hotel package arranged by Deep Blue Diving, and couldn't have been more pleased. The hotel is lovely, situated off a quiet side street, and surrounded by beautiful gardens. The rooms were spacious, and included a small frig, coffee maker, security safe, and a semi-private veranda just steps from the pool. The... More

We where in the suite, a bit more expensive than the others but it was the only one available. It was totally worthy!! We spend a lot of time in the swimming pool and seeing a nice bird and a squirrell that were fighting in one of the trees around the pool. We spend very good time there!
