I’ll first start by saying this hotel is beautiful! The rooms, the view, the staff were all very delightful. Virginia was THE best from booking, arranging airport transfer, assisted with booking excursions as well as helped with locating an officiant. My only negative is the location. Kalokiari is situated in a very under developed area, about 10 mins from Tamarindo. Most of the drivers complained/were not enthused to service the location due to the road conditions where it’s located. I’ll say this, don’t stay here during the rainy season as I’m sure the roads are much worse than when dry.
Overall, if you enjoy “privacy” (really seclusion), have some $$$ to spend, and want to wake up to a beautiful sunset via balcony, book it! The hotel offers free breakfast, they have good coffee and a chef on sight that prepares both a lunch and dinner for additional price (menus change daily). The water stayed hot, it was secured and staff remained accessible!
We will definitely be back to see Kalokiari again! Pura Vida my friends!
