"The hotel was very nice. There are many things that are good and others that are not so good. PROS: -Elegant and nice looking hotel. Makes you feel at home. -Nice breakfast. -Friendly staff. CONS: -All the restaurant was reserved for an event of Herbalife so that didn't give the guests the opportunity to have a nice and comfortable meal when necessary. So the restaurant is not 100% available for guests and there is noise because of the microphones they use. -The room is EXTREMELY small....

Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa

10/10 Excellent

"We had an overall very good experience at Hotel Bosque del Mar. When we arrived, we decided we really wanted an oceanfront room, and since we were visiting during low season, the staff was very accommodating and helped us upgrade later that day. The upgraded room was beautiful, clean, and directly facing the ocean, with a lovely outdoor bathtub that made it feel extra special. The property itself is very peaceful, and the beach was definitely our favorite part. The sunsets here are absolutely gorgeous—we even had one evening where we could see a beautiful sunset and a rainbow at the same time. The beach was great for walking, and there were chairs available outside for hotel guests to relax and enjoy the view. We also enjoyed the second-floor area with the pool table, where we spent some time playing, having drinks, and relaxing. The drinks were delicious and reasonably priced, and we also enjoyed an appetizer from the bar. The staff throughout our stay was friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a nice and relaxing stay, and we would recommend Hotel Bosque del Mar, especially if you are looking for a beachfront property where you can enjoy some truly beautiful Costa Rican sunsets."

El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"If you are looking to feel truly seen, deeply cared for, pampered, and wrapped in complete luxury, do yourself a favor and book a stay at El Mangroove. Out of all the places I’ve stayed across my travels, this resort stands out as the most unforgettable experience yet. The staff are beyond kind, exceptionally attentive, and genuinely caring. They go out of their way to make everything feel personal; if you are celebrating a birthday or an anniversary they will remember you, recognize it, and make sure you feel celebrated throughout your stay. A special recognition goes to the incredible team members: Chef Varona: Who happens to share my last name! He took special time out of his busy schedule to come to our table personally, speak with us, and take a photo. It was such a warm, personalized touch that made us feel so welcomed. Sheisha: Who provided outstanding assistance with concierge services Pamela & Diana: Who went above and beyond to decorate our room with chocolate strawberries and Champagne and a lovely heartfelt messa. The Spa: An incredible sanctuary. It is immaculate, extraordinarily relaxing. Isabel: The wonderful lady who cleaned our room. She took such great care of our space and made sure everything was spotless and comfortable for us every day. Yes, it is an investment and sits at a higher price point; but you absolutely get what you pay for. The world-class service, peaceful ambiance, and meticulous attention to detail make every single penny worth it."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in El Real?

The beach itself is expansive and suitable for children, with gentle waves and plenty of space for building sandcastles.

When is the best time to go to El Real?

The best time to go to El Real, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.During these months, you can expect abundant sunshine and very little rain, making it ideal for enjoying the region's beaches and outdoor activities. The weather is consistently warm, with average temperatures in the high 80s Fahrenheit (around 30-32°C), and comfortable humidity levels. This period is superb for visitors looking to maximize their time outdoors without the interruption of daily downpours.For travelers prioritizing wildlife viewing, particularly for birdwatching and spotting monkeys, the early part of the dry season (December to February) is especially rewarding. The vegetation is still lush from the rainy season, and animals are active before the peak heat sets in. This is a great time for couples and families to explore national parks and reserves.The shoulder months of May and November can also be a good option for those seeking a balance between good weather and fewer crowds. While there might be occasional rain showers, they are typically brief, and you'll often find more competitive pricing on accommodations and tours.
