Playa Blanca hotels from HK$254

"The cabin was clean and the views from the balcony were amazing. The beds were comfortable, but the rugs on the wooden floor were incredibly slippery. It was not fully what we were expecting based on the description of the room we booked - the description said there would be aircon, microwave and TV, however these were not present in the room. The fans were just about enough to keep us cool overnight, however were not enough for during the day. The bathroom was fine - but be aware it does not have the screen/mesh that the bedroom does, and the walls do not meet the ceiling, so bugs/mosquitoes are able to get in - not ideal if mosquitoes find you as tasty as they find me. There also was no handle on the inside of the bathroom door, so no way to fully close it quietly or to lock it from the inside. It would have been nice to have had directions on how to find the hotel directly from the beach beforehand rather than walking along the road. The hotel is in a good location for the beach and there is a supermarket and restaurants close by. "

"What a stunning spot! Absolutely beautiful property with beautifully furnished rooms. We extended our stay because how nice this place was!"

"The pool is next level and the staff are lovely. The town is fun to explore and there are a lot of eating options. The number of animals we saw on property was unbelievable. Howler Monkeys, Squirrel Monkeys, Scarlet Macaws, Toucans, Iguanas, Jesus Christ Lizards, Anoles, Crocodiles, Crabs, "

"If you are driving: there is like an hour and a half drive on unpaved roads varying from relatively smooth to incredibly rough supposedly at other points in the year there are streams that require fording. 4x4 recommended. That being said, once you are there, the views are incredible, the rooms are beautiful, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the location is mind-blowing. The rooms are bungalows set on a very steep hill overlooking the bay. The showers (at least in the one we stayed in) had wall cut outs so at night there were various insect and reptilian visitors but whatever its more their home than mine and few made it into the living area. The restaurants nearby are fine, breakfast is included and dinner is available at the sort of clubhouse with reservation and for a fee. The location and staff and view made up for the steep climb to the room from the beach and long off road drive to the site. I would stay here again absolutely. "

"The cabina had an extra extraordinary view. We loved that the bedrooms were closed off and did have air conditioning, but that the rest of the unit was completely open The house cleaning staff did an excellent job of cleaning every morning I had laundry done, and it was very reasonably priced and done very well The unit is within walking distance to almost everything but best of all the beach is right there!"

"False advertising. Didn’t have air conditioning. "

"Rooms are cute area around is amazing and the staff super helpful and available kayaks for trips up the mangroves"

"Great location, clean rooms and great restaurant. "

"We stayed for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. All of the lodge buildings are very sympathetically designed, and blend well with the surroundings. Everywhere is very clean and maintained to a high standard. We loved sitting on the bar stools and watching the monkeys and morpho butterflies. All staff were polite, friendly and helpful, and assisted us with booking excursions. The food was very tasty and beautifully presented, as were the cocktails! We loved the quirky bed in our cabin, and enjoyed sitting on the veranda and watching all the wildlife in the creek below - juvenile caimans, turtles, lizards, dragonflies, and my absolute favourites - hummingbirds. Listening to the orchestra of sounds at night was at night was fantastic! We did a night walk and we're amazed at our guide's knowledge, enthusiasm, and ability to spot creatures that we would never have seen without him! The trails within the grounds are easy to follow, and there is so much to see - including the resident sloth - ask the staff and they will point him out to you. I was thrilled to see so many hummingbirds. Danta Corcovado Lodge is a great place, and all staff work hard to ensure that guests are well looked after and enjoy their stay."
