Located on a beautiful beach in a quiet situation and the staff are extremely helpful.Apart from the stray dogs roaming the beach and the property as mentioned by other guests the real downside is that the peaceful site is ruined by terrible music all day and all night long.It's more suited to a disco.Not what you want when having your...

Don't let the drive down the dirt road to get there scare you off! This is a wonderful gem hidden in the town of Potrero. With only 30 rooms, the property has a small and personal feel to it. Service is the best we received throughout our stay in Costa Rica. So friendly and helpful. We stayed in the suite... More

We stayed here 3 nights, we were upgraded to a king suite upon check in. Hector was very nice and also helpful with setting up other reservations. We found the grounds to be very clean and well kept. We were given a welcome drink and escorted to our rooms. Nice size, and Clean. The only major problem with our room... More

I only visited the restaurant, not the hotel, but was all the same very impressed. I went with a school group. The food was wonderfully prepared, though the portions are not large. The atmosphere was great, we were seated outdoors in a pavilion a stone's throw from the beach, with candelight and white tablecloths. The wait staff were very attentive... More

We spent 6 nights here after a tour of Costa Rica. We were lucky enough to have a suite with loads of room and stocked up drinks and snacks from the supermarket / bakery just up the road. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, particularly the pancakes and French toast at breakfast which were freshly... More

If it tells you anything I have stayed here on 3 different trips, so obviously I like it. Bahia is only an hour drive to the airport and therefore a great last or first stay in Costa Rica. It has a great swimming beach, beautiful grounds, nice staff (especially Mike), *cold* AC, good security, good spa (although only open until... More

I recently stayed here with my daughter and could not have picked a better place to spend a restful last few days of our vacation. The grounds and pool area are nicely landscaped and just a few steps to the beach which is quiet and relaxing. The daily buffet breakfast is excellent and the dinner as well. I booked a... More

Bahia del Sol ain't so hot. I rounded up to 3 stars because it's cheaper than many resorts; I'm really thinking 2.5 stars, tops. My new wife and I were on our honeymoon, and this hotel was my one dumb mistake. We had just spend 6 fabulous nights at the Arenal Nayara, which maybe set the bar high for what... More

If you are looking for a hotel, slightly away from the heavily touristed areas (but still close to civilization) in a beautiful setting with a strong sense of place in Costa Rica, do try this wonderful hotel. The Staff: truly among the most friendly and lovely I have ever encountered. They will take a personal interest in you, learn your... More
