Beautiful property, so charming! The staff are attentive and kind. One thing, the beds are fairly stiff so if you don't like stiff beds be weary of that. Otherwise, we loved our stay in the "main house" it was so cozy.

I had a really comfortable stay at Villa del Sol. the beautiful gardens and pool area are lovely. The room was very comfortable and clean with a fan, aircon and a smart TV with streaming services. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the home cooked breakfast was great. 2 minutes walk to the beach! would recommend and stay again!

We stayed at Hotel Villa del Sol for two nights right when we arrived in Costa Rica. Lovely staff, great location. Best part is being able to walk 2 minutes to the beach. Felt safe (gated property with security guard at night) rooms were in pretty good condition but definitely had some wear and tear(i.e., the trash can in our bedroom was broken and the walls were a little beat up. Small things). But the hotel was kept up really well overall. Nice pool area and it was great having a mini fridge in our room. Would stay here again. Enjoyed the breakfast in the mornings too.

Hotel Villa Del Sol is a real gem! The facility is smaller which we liked and it was easy to meet the other guests. The staff were excellent, the grounds are well treed and are like an oasis. The little pool area is beautiful with sun or shade, whatever you prefer. It’s about a 5 minute walk to the beach and a 15 minute walk to the Main Street. My wife and I met 2 very nice people from Quebec, Peter and Louise!

My favorite thing about this hotel was the relaxed, sweet, and efficient staff – Fatima, Kattia, Marta and Maria - mucho gracias! The room was nice and the bed comfy. It was generally a quiet place, about a 20 min walk from downtown. The pool area was lovely and picturesque; quite nice for a sunset swim. The lobby was welcoming, with lovely cultural art. Unfortunately, the location was about 3 blocks from the beach, so I couldn’t pop into the ocean as I expected. There wasn’t a place to store my gear if I wanted to go into the ocean. Also, there weren’t restaurants nearby, so for a solo female traveler, my evening options were limited. Instead, I had late lunches at my fav spot 15 min walk away, Guayoyo. I’d recommend these villas only if you have transportation.

Hi Jill Thank you for your detailed feedback! We appreciate your kind words about our team members.

If you want "charming" look no further. I thouroughly enjoyed the stay. Only good things to say about the safety, cleanliness, staff and property. Be sure to understand when booking there are two buildings. One is more private and quiet. They call those rooms apartments. Then, there are 6 rooms all attached to the central reception, kitchen and shared eating area. During the day, there is a fair amount of noise and commotion. Not terrible, and very quiet at night. Just be aware, if your older folk like me, and you need catch-up naps during day... might be iffy. Lol. One suggestion...put at a tiny table and chair in room so you dont have to eat in bed. Thank you Hotel Del Sol. Bob and Ana

We stayed in the budget room off of the lobby for 7 nights. Room was smaller, but adequate. Bed was a bed firm. Shower pressure was low, but plenty of hot water to get clean. TV is app based, no cable, so bring your logins. Breakfast was fresh fruit, juice, coffee, scrambled eggs, toast with butter and jelly and some days rice beans. Basic, but filling. Being near the lobby was not a problem at all as other guests didn't congregate there. It was also convenient as there is a filtered water station available 24/7 in the lobby. Kathalina was helpful in highlighting how to get to the beach, mini mart, grocery store, pharmacy and banks. She also helped us book a taxi to a local golf course. The pool area was frequented but most guests and was clean and comfortable with a good amount of shade. We spent a few hours there most afternoons. The smallness of this hotel was so peaceful as there are never hundreds of people mulling about. We would definitely stay here again if in Coco.

They charged me additional for second person (my wife) when I checked in & only accepted cash & there’s no breakfast. I can’t remember the last time I went to $150 hotel in Costa Rica that was single occupancy. Place is a little dated but very pretty and peaceful! Great location too.
