Took a group of 21 to the Bosque Del Mar and had an incredible time. Beautiful place right on the beach with the accommodations in the trees. Pool small but fit the surroundings. The staff are incredible. From the manager, to the wait staff, to the maintenance people everyone made us feel at home. We had 2 people in wheelchairs... More

This is my third trip to Costa Rica and probably the 10th resort at which I've stayed. I went with a large group and the experiences and opinions of my travel mates were very similar to mine. Everyone loved this hotel. I stayed in one of the less expensive rooms by the pool in a downstairs unit (#502). During my... More

The restaurant at this hotel isn't listed separately, so we only hope to reach those looking deeply into dining options while visiting this area as we didn't stay at the hotel (although, it looked terrific). Or, for those staying at this hotel and wondering if the dining room is worth a try. We were staying at a large timeshare complex... More

We had the wedding of our dreams at Bosque. Roberto the manager was great and very accommodating. We were able to create an awesome wedding on a relatively tight budget for 90 people. We did the ceremony and the dancing on the beach. They set up a great dance floor and stage for the band on the beach. Roberto was... More

When we arrived, I quickly realized that the "Junior Suite" was not a suite by American standards. That notwithstanding, our room was infested with mosquitoes. Now I expect Costa Rica to have mosquitoes but this was ridiculous! The bathroom had hair in it. Fed up, I asked that we be moved. They obliged and all was good! The room had... More

Nice hotel on the beach in Playa Hermosa. Friendly staff, pretty gardens, some iguanas and several howler monkees in the evening. Rooms are a bit odd - ours was split between a windowed sitting area and a dark sleeping area. The sitting area had a pretty view of the gardens and trees but was hot and stuffy so relaxing and...

We spent a week at this hotel in June 2011. It was a lovely environment, trees growing through the porches, pretty flowers everywhere. The rooms were very nice. The restaurant was also good! The only negatives were wireless internet does not reach into all of the rooms. You have to be in a room closest to the lobby area. Also,... More

Our travel agent recommended Bosque del Mar based on criteria we requested. Proximity to the beach was important, and the hotel is right on the beautiful grey sand beach. The beach and the pool area were never crowded and there is shade which is also important to us. The howler monkeys and iguanas were fun. However be warned the monkeys... More

The good first: restaurant was fantastic and very well priced. Go to the grocery store and stock up on Imperial beer, water bottles and Cuba Libre in a can. Rent a car. Eat at the beach shack next door and if you get lost look/listen for the roosters. Get the red snapper if its in. FANTASTIC. The hotel was as... More
