“Secluded hotel, beautiful sunsets”
Overall a fun and relaxing experience, right on the ocean. Bahia is NOT a mega-resort - only ~20 rooms, personal service. Pluses: nice beach, pool, swim up bar Restaurant had a fine variety of food at reasonable prices sunny and beautiful (low 90s) every day small hotel, attentive staff beautiful jungle-like setting (iguanas, birds) close to Liberia airport (~1 hr with 4WD) walk to groceries, a few other restaurants including Playa Flamingo area Kayaks on site, marina nearby Minuses: NOT a white sand beach, or crystal clear waters, if that's your thing 3.5+ hrs from Arenal, Monteverde - too far for day trips the local roads are awful (not the hotel's fault, but a consideration) difficult to coordinate snorkeling trips etc. for only 2 people (easier with 4+) Recommendation: If you have a week in Costa Rica, and want a relaxing beach experience for 3-4 days, away from the resort complexes, rent a 4WD and come here!
