Nicoya Hotel with Pool

"This hotel was quite nice. I really enjoyed the curtained space outside of my room. The fan helped keep the bugs away, but the noise from the road was quite loud. The location is off the main road coming into town, so there a lot of cars during the day. The pool was nice, but it was always very buggy around it."

"The pool was beautiful, and central to all the rooms. We loved hearing the monkeys, cicadas and birds all day and night. We really felt like we were in the jungle, yet also bear all the action. Rooms were clean and staff were very friendly and helpful. Loved our stay!"

"The location on the black sand beach is beautiful. Rooms are large and the bed and bed shots are so very confortable."

"The property, which is in a natural preserve, needs better upkeep. The rooms are dated and our bathroom had lots of mold, which is totally unacceptable. Also, the rooms are spread all around the property through trails and you go up and down the mountain to reach them. This, in the suffocating heat and humidity, is exhausting. There is no A/C anywhere in the property except the bedrooms. The restaurant is ok, but again: no A/C, limited options. The one shining pearl in all this was the SPA. I had a relaxing massage with Fanny, which was fantastic."

"Staff was very friendly and helpful. Hotels beach was not really kid friendly, or even adult friendly. (at least not for me) There was no space to put our towels and beach accessories. We walked about 5 extra minutes to get to the other side of the beach, which was in front of another hotel and it was a little nicer there. There was a beach about 5 min away (by car), from the hotel (Playa Carillo), and it was BEAUTIFUL! Brian, the manager was so kind to give us a ride in his personal car because my daughters foot was injured and we couldn't walk there. There were some foods that we ordered that were subpar, but there were some foods that were absolutely delicious (the fish, burger, ceviche). I really enjoyed the fish !! The drinks (virgin, and alcoholic) were so refreshing and yummy. I loved every single one that they would make for me. The breakfast was okay. The French toast was yummy and the fruits were fresh and juicy. The staff was super accommodating and everything was pretty clean. If you ask me, id recommend that they get a gold cart or similar, to get to a from the beach on site. (but maybe I'm just lazy). Their shuttle service was punctual, and clean. The excursions are pretty close (about 5 to 10 min away), and they were amazing ! All in all , it was an awesome trip/stay. I would definitely go back."

"Very expensive... 35$ usd lunch buffet and 9$ waters. Pay for the sauna and for 450$ a night you get 1 free yoga class. Pilates is separate. Would stay close to beach for half the price and walk to yoga is a better play "

"Excellent stay"
