Eight years ago,my son and I decided to take the dream of surfing and make it a reality. We needed a nice, affordable and secure place to stay. Every 6 months we go there, relax, surf, work et enjoy ourself a lot. Jasmine, Emilio and Antony are just great people and they will always help you with anything if you're... More

First time to Costa Rica and didn't know the area, found this place online and decided to try it. The price was right and close enough to state park. Like the other reviews stated Ya it could use some improvements but other than that it was an ideal spot and the manager and staff were so kind and caring. I... More

Enjoyed our stay at this quaint lovely spot in Esterios. Staff awesome and welcoming. Units are clean and location is the best if you like peace and quiet. Wonderful restaurants in town to feed us local grub.Returning for our 4th year to this gem in the rough. Mike and Kathy(Canuckle Heads)

I really enjoyed this spot. The staff was good and the owner really helped me with anything I needed. It's not a new building but things are well maintained and you can get a good deal -- especially if you book for multiple nights. It's only a few steps from the beach so you can lay in bed and listen... More

My original booking for La Dolce Vita was for 10 days. After that, I extended twice to make my time at the beach into a full month. That, in summary, says it all, and is my endorsement. This small hotel is situated in an authentic village setting, surrounded by jungle-like trees, foliage and flowers, and yet within exactly 30 seconds... More

The owner Stefano and the kind Tican couple who take care of the small hotel were very friendly and helpful. The town is 20 mins away from the bustling and commercial Jaco and it is the exact opposite--at least for the weekdays that we were there. The room is actually a small apartment with some nice touches---bedspreads and light fixtures... More

To be honest when we arrived we both were very unsure of this place. we were immediately given our room (3). A small open patio/porch that leads into the kitchenette area with a refrigerator, 2 burner stove, sink, coffee pot and kitchen supplies and a futone bed. Table and chairs outside on the patio. A small entry into the bathroom... More

I loved this place for its special position on the beach, first line to the waves of the ocean. For its good breakfast, the tiny and clean swimming pool, the warm welcome of the staff. Wifi was very good, as well as satellite television, room climatization confortable, the bed confortable. Price was excellent and I think Esterillos Oeste is a... More

After a lengthy delay in getting there, the manager (Kevin - nicaraguan) met me about 9 pm on Sunday and got me all settled in. The hotel is right next door to some campgrounds and they were carrying on, which is fine unless you are trying to sleep. i was so tired anyway, i don't remember my head hitting the... More
