Property has really gone downhill. Bathroom was dirty and falling apart, AC did not work properly and was very noisy, there was a total of 3 chairs by the pool so we could not get a chair. We left early and are trying to get a refund.

An amazing spot for enjoying the sunset, quiet, safe and with the friendliest and kindest staff. Not the best pillows and a very noisy A/C, also the street to get there isn't that good. But apart from that, we loved our stay there and we will definitely be back!

Cerrado, she said
After a long drive and many unanswered emails from the hotel, we arrived only to be told that it was “cerrado” Closed. The caretaker was nice but seemed very confused by our arrival. No English spoken. It was very disconcerting

I have been going to Casa Caletas for over 20 years. It was a beautiful boutique hotel one of my favorite places in the world. However about 10 years ago it changed hands and the new owner is not putting The necessary maintaine into the property. The sink had no Coldwater shower was missing a handle on the hot water control small but important things. It saddens me to watch such a beautiful property go downhill.

The site could not be better. The facilities are falling down due to lack of investment!

Comfortable hotel
The hotel is nice but it leads to a place where a river meets the sea and it's no easy task to get to the sea shore. The roads are a headache, not for a small automovile, just 4x4. If you find yourself near Playa Bongo and Coyote, don't hesitate to stay in there. It may be a little overprices, but it's the best you can find.

Great adventure!
Casa Caletas is the ultimate escape to paradise. It is remote, tranquil, and totally pura vida. It's worth the drive and adventure to experience a private tropical beachfront paradise away from the hustle of touristy Costa Rica. Enjoy the breakfast, search for sanddollars on the private long stretch of beach, enjoy the spectacular infinity pool, and enjoy the quality customer service from local Ticos! Great food, great adventure.

This well worth going to for the view and the peop
The road in is very difficult nearly impossible at the height of the rainy season. Very beautiful, very nice people. Service is thoughtful and good food. the facilities are clean and well cared for. This is a True getaway. definitely want to stay more than a day or two to enjoy the area and view.

Really nice hotel
This hotel is a great place to go and rest, there is nothing around, just the beach and a river that goes to the ocean, great view. If you are going, make sure you use the ferry that goes to Naranjo, if you take the one of Tambor you are gonna have to drive like 3 hours... From the ferry (Naranjo) to the hotel is like 60 km drive, 50% is good street the other 50% is really bad but you can make it in a single car. If you want to go to Santa Teresa is an 1 hour drive, really bad street, you have to cross two rivers and drive over the beach, literally, for this you must go on big car (4x4). Food is really good, I really like the experience...

great place , awful food
it was great, but the cook certainly did not know how to cook foods properly. just as it is in costa rica. Most costa rican establishments are loww in food quality and the food does not have any flavor at all.

Sunsets to die for
This place was breathtaking. The landscaping, the views, the food, the service and the incredible infinity pool on a cliff made it unforgettable. The staff was super helpful. It is secluded so its good to have your own transportation, but the ATV adventures are another story. LOVE this place!

Nice hotel with a good view
I stayed here for one night and was welcomed by a friendly hostess. However I was quite disappointed with the room because it was infested with bugs, especially ants. There were ants everywhere! The room itself was very nice and it would have been pretty much a perfect stay if not for the infestation. I tried to kill the ants (at least 15) but they just wouldn't go away and I would continue to find more. And then I found another surprise in the bathroom the next morning that wasn't ants, but a crab in the shower instead. I don't know how it got there but it was in the shower. The breakfast view was spectacular and it was nice to kayak just outside the hotel. However if this bug issue could be fixed I think it would make a person's stay much more comfortable.

Great Experience!
Alberto y Victor are great people, the quality of service and food is just the best. There's always space to improvements, like I little maintenance in ceilings, some chairs among others. Otherwise, the view is amazing, so peaceful and you have options if you are and adventure people.

We were not able to stay at the hotel even though we booked it. We needed a four wheel drive vehicle to get there and were not aware of this until we got to Samara. When asking for directions we were told our two wheel drive rental car would not be able to navigate the roads. So regretfully we had to stay in Samara that night.

NON TROVERETE MAI UN ALTRO POSTO COME QUESTO!
Dopo avere girato tutto il Costa Rica abbiamo deciso di fermarci qui per una settimana di relax. Il posto è veramente il più bello che abbiamo visto: piscina a sfioro che affaccia su un fiume che sfocia nel mare,staff gentilissimo e disponibile,camere con letti enormi e pavimenti in pietra e bagni tutti in pietra..in più i tramonti sono tra i più belli del paese e la spiaggia è vicinissima e enorme! Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo:80$ a notte colazione inclusa! Unica pecca: i proprietari vivono in L.A. e qui non sono mai venuti , sono completamente disinteressati a come vanno le cose..risultato...un paradiso come ce ne sono pochi lasciato in balia del tempo: non c’è più acqua calda, l’a/c non funziona, qualche ragnatela di troppo...un vero peccato. Se avessi io i soldi che chiedono per vendere giuro che lo comprerei!!!!

Leider war weder das Personal engagiert, noch die Zimmer in einem guten Zustand. In einem Zimmer funktionierte die Toilettenspülung überhaupt nicht und wurde auch nach Beschwerde nicht repariert. Das Angebot an Getränken war sehr begrenzt. Es gab weder frisch gepresste Säfte, die wir sonst überall bekamen, noch Weisswein oder Rotwein. Der Duschkopf war in einer Dusche nicht montiert, die Handtuchhalter fielen zum Teil von der Wand. Das Frühstück war spärlich. Einen Innenpool haben wir dort nicht gesehen. Man hatte beim Personal nicht den Eindruck, dass es daran interessiert war, dass man dort etwas ass oder trank. Darüber hinaus sollte auf Ihrer Homepage darauf hingewiesen werden, dass das Hotel nur mit 4wd Fahrzeugen zu erreichen ist. Der Weg zum Strand ist etwa einen km lang und zu Fuss nicht zu empfehlen, da die Strasse dorthin sehr staubig ist und man von den vorbei fahrenden Fahrzeugen regelrecht eingestaubt wird. Schade, denn der Standort des Hotels ist sehr schön.

hôtel de charme mais potentiel non exploité
hôtel avec une vue majestueuse, ponctué de vols de frégates et de pélicans, et de magnifiques couchers de soleil. nous avions séjourné une nuit dans cet hôtel il y a 4 ans et il faut l'avouer, les prestations hôtelières ont bien changées. c'est le seul "bémol", l'impression que l'hôtel n'est pas tenu par des professionnels, de toutes jeunes personnes qui regarde la télé toute la journée et dont on à l'impression de les déranger lorsqu'on demande quelque chose (boisson par exemple) Je suis également étonnée qu'ils ne parlent pas un mot d'anglais les chambres sont propres, mais plus ou moins laissées à l'abandon (quand quelque chose est cassé, c'est laissé tel quel, pas de réparation) c'est un hôtel avec un énorme potentiel non exploité. pas de plats typiques, plus style hamburger, tacos......... j'ai bien peur qu'il se dégrade dans les années à venir, ce qui est vraiment dommage à part ça, hôtel calme le soir

Otrevlig personal och slitet hotell
Personalen är ointresserade av gäster och gav oss bara nyckel till rummet när vi kom och pekade på vår dörr. De förstod ingen engelska och kunde inte ge någon info, ens om frukost serveras. Hotellet var säkert flr 5-6 år sedan fint- det ligger vackert beläget vid en vik där man vissa tider på dygnet har access till Playa Coyote. Men ingen kunde ge info om området eller hur man nådde stranden. Wifi fungerade inte. Rummet var slitet och hade trasigt duschdraperi, inget munstycke på dusch. På nyårsafton hade hotellet stor fest (som inga gäster informerades om eller bjöds in till) som pågick utanför rummet till kl 1 på natten. En otrevligt och olustig vistelse.

Zeer slechte ontvangst. Man aan de receptie was niet op de hoogte van onze boeking en sprak geen woord Engels. De kok was zeer onvriendelijk, eigenlijk onbeleefd, het was allemaal tegen zijn zin. Op het terras van onze kamer lag een stapel vuile kussens van terrasstoelen. Comfort kamer was basic. Het enige positieve van dit hotel was het prachtige uitzicht op de zee en rivier. Zeer slechte weg om het hotel te bereiken. Geen aanrader.

Hotel acogedor de inmejorables vistas
La distribución de las habitaciones en relacion a la vista y áreas de piscina son inmejorables. Con una decoración muy acogedora. En los alrededores un par de restaurantes locales que estaban mas que bien. El lugar es recomendable. Mención especial a Deiner y Victor, de recepción por su gran amabilidad en ayudarme a resolver un problema que iba mas allá de sus labores. Se les agradece por eso

Bonito Lugar!!!
El lugar me pareció realmente bello, unas instalaciones muy acogedoras, una piscina que tiene una vista increíble; sin embargo me faltó un poco de servicio al cliente, el "bar" casi no tenía opciones de licores y duraban bastante en preparar la comida, creo que esas fueron las dos únicas cosas que me desagradaron. La comida estaba buena y las playas cercanas al hotel son bastantes bonitas también.

Au milieu de nul part
L'endroit est calme et beau quand vous y arrivé. Mais le chemin pour s'y rendre est long, sans beaucoup d'indication, au milieu de nul part et c'est un chemin en terre et roche. Il n'y a aucun restaurant ou bar dans le coin. L'hotel a un restaurant avec seulement un cuisinier alors le service est très long et la nourriture ordinaire. Le staff est très gentil.
