Loved it the first time, so we stopped back for a night before heading out to the Nicoya peninsula. The location is key. Playa Hermosa is a mellow little strip - removed from all the noise and chaos of Jaco, but with it's own quiet scene. There's still a bar (The Backyard), restaurants, yoga classes and great cheap massages, so... More

We stayed at the largest suite. Beautiful view of ocean, beach, and coconut trees. Less than 100 yards to black sand beach. Knew we were going to be treated right as soon as we entered door. Nice and comfortable sofas and chairs in living area with quick to cool air conditioner. Washer and Dryer in the suite and granite countertops... More

We stayed at the Surf Inn last week and were very happy with the accommodations. The apartment had great finishes and was well equipped! The staff is super nice and helpful. They have over night security in the parking lot, so never a worry about your car! You can't beach the "steps" to the beach! More

I've been to Playa hermosa 3 three times and have stayed at Surf Inn two times. Each time, it has been amazing!! Christina and Michael are super helpful and soooo friendly. She set up transportation to/from the airport. The one time I didn't stay at Surf Inn, Christina was still eager to help me out and give advice on adventures/places... More

We stayed here two nights and hated to leave. Right on the beach, small pool, lawn chairs out front. We had the two bed room apartment on the second floor facing the beach, great view of the surfers from our balcony. Each room has a queen and a single bunk above it, one room has an ensuite. Kitchen, laundry machines... More

Before I even left for Costa Rica I was already happy with the service provided by Surf Inn. The owner, Christina, responded quickly and efficiently to all my thousands of questions via email before I even left for my trip. She gave great recommendations and set up all our accommodations, transportation, and tours in advance. With Christina's great organizing, the... More

We started our stay at another hotel in Playa Hermosa that did not have A/C - mistake. With the new paved highway right along the beach, the trucks will keep you up all night, guaranteed! We did not want to leave as we had a friend in the area, so we talked to a few people on the beach and... More

Beautiful small hotel with great service on a terrific beach. Best breakfast ever coconut french toast and banana pancakes on the top floor overlooking the ocean with beautiful birds in the trees. A million dollar view. More

Stayed in a 2 bedroom/2 bath condo with a spectacular ocean view! We sat on the balcony and ate breakfast each morning watching the ocean and surfers. The accommodations were first class - granite counters / stainless appliances and an amazing view. Onsite evening security (although we never felt unsafe). Owner-Christina arranged for a great surf instructor, Estaban, for our... More

Surf Inn Hermosa's commitment to good, healthy living + knowledgeable, gracious hospitality = the perfect formula for an awesome vacation. The first time I went to Hermosa, I stayed here as a solo female traveler, from a friend's recommendation. I came not knowing what to expect, and I left knowing that this was a special place with good people and... More
