Guanacaste - North Pacific Coast, Costa Rica Hotel Rooms at the Bed and Breakfast

Judy (the Canadian Manager/owner) has the expertise to run Villa Hermosa well. She and her staff were well informed, helpful and friendly. Truly delightful people. Lovely, well behaved dogs too!

My girlfriend and I visited the Mirador in early October and we could not have been happier with our choice! It was difficult to find at first as they do not advertise their exact location. Definitely call for help when you get into town. The couple running the place are the nicest guys you will ever meet. They were wonderful to talk to and made us feel right at home. The house is unbelievably beautiful and the rooms are extremely comfortable. Definitely not a beach front but it has a great view of the water from the balcony and pool area. They have a huge book of activities and have made friends with lots of the locals. All of their recommendations were spot on and we enjoyed everything. Definitely try to Stand Up Paddle boarding. The booze cruise was very enjoyable even though neither of us really drink. First time ever seeing a Whale! After an exhausting day of activities, we spent awhile talking and watching movies with the hosts. They made us feel extremely welcome.

Very friendly staff and very good location. This is a small B&B, but this is its advantage. Breakfasts served in the pool area in the morning "cool" air are superb. There is a bit of an issue if one doesn't speak Spanish, but it's not a serious one as the owner speaks English.

This is a beautiful hotel on a hill overlooking Playa Pelada. It's walkable to an ice cream store and a few other places, but you really need a 4wd vehicle to get around. The hotel is more like a private villa or a boutique B&B than a hotel, with a large swimming pool and a large cabana. There aren't any TVs and our room didn't have a TV, but Internet access was available on the porch. It's picturesque and Alexa does a fantastic job of giving you directions and help you pick your dining options. She also knows all the locals and can help you set up activities. Lastly, they have a kitchen that you can use to reheat leftovers or prepare your own meals, if that is something you're interested in.
