"We loved our stay at Casa Juliana! It was a beautiful location right by the beach. We loved going there during sunsets and having a drink at the neighborhood beach bar. It wasn't very crowded and the house is off the beaten path. The house was lovely with all the amenities we could want. We had beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards and even yeti-type coffee mugs and water containers to use for all of us. Chiara was our house manager during our stay and she was absolutely amazing. Super responsive and was so helpful making suggestions for our stay. She's the best! We are a pretty active family so we did quite a few trips to Tamarindo and the Volcano area. Almost everything was at least 45 minutes away, so we had to account for travel time in making our plans. All in all, we had a fabulous time!"

"Loved it "

"It was a delightful stay! Beautiful and quiet beach! Loved the view and access to the beach.Nice and private. Watched the gorgeous sunset every evening. AC was a plus. The hosts were very considerate and so nice. They came and got garbage and changed our sheets which was so nice. We would definitely rent this place again! Truly a Magical Place"

"We loved everything about our stay at Coco Flotante. You want beach front? This is the place!You want a pool? This is the place?You want quiet but close to restaurants and activities? This is the place!There were 8 of us total, 4 adults and 4 kids (2 families toga travel together). Kids aged 8, 10, 11, and 12. Two master suites downstairs (both sets of parents stayed), one bedroom with a queen, and one bedroom with 2 twins (all 4 kids stayed upstairs). Another sitting area and bar upstairs as well.Outdoor seating area and the pool were our favorites. Large kitchen with everything you need to cook. We cooked most meals. We did eat out a few times. The property caretakers (house next door) were so nice. Never intrusive. We had a flat tire one day on our rental van, and they assisted us with finding the number to call to have someone come fix it. There dog came to visit us daily when we were outside, but never pestered us, and was super friendly. Only things to caution if traveling with older folks or young children, there are steep outside stairs to the upstairs of the house. And, there are steep stairs to the beach. Neither of those bothered us at all!As others have said, the pictures of this property online don’t do this place justice. It’s amazing! If you’re on the fence- make the choice to rent this place- you won’t regret it! "

"Incredible pool area that opens right to the pacific."

"Great hotel, rooms are very nice and clean, food and breakfasts are really good. Love the pool area. The hosts and the staff are really friendly"

"Enjoyed everything about this beautiful Villaesque lodging with its lush botanical walled grounds. Plenty of birds, hummingbirds everyday and other daily visits from a plethora of winged visitors to the pool's waterfall. Monkeys, a colorful squirrel and 2 cats passed through as well. The property is a brief walk along a shaded trail to the beach. "

"This house is absolutely breathtaking! Nestled in the charming small town of Playa Negra, it offered stunning ocean views and a gorgeous beach just a short walk beyond the pool. We loved that we could stroll straight from the house along the sand to the best swimming spot—no need for a car. From the moment we arrived, we knew we wouldn’t want to leave—and we hardly did!With everything we needed right at our fingertips, our rental car sat untouched. The house itself was beautifully designed, seamlessly blending comfort with the natural beauty around it. The bedrooms offered so much privacy that I often had to text everyone when it was time to gather for meals—it was that spacious! Every morning, we woke up to the soothing sound of waves and enjoyed delicious meals prepared by our hired chef, making the experience even more relaxing and luxurious. Some of my favorite moments were spent reading on the shaded deck, soaking in the peaceful surroundings. Given the warm Costa Rican climate—temperatures were consistently in the low 90s—the air conditioning was a welcome necessity.The setting was pure magic—jaw-dropping beauty everywhere we looked, with peaceful, unspoiled beaches perfect for long walks and quiet moments of reflection. It was the ultimate place to unwind, recharge, and fully embrace the serenity of the ocean. If you’re looking for a place that offers both relaxation and awe-inspiring scenery, this is it. We can’t wait to come back!"

"Latica lodge was amazing to stay at! If you’re looking for that community vibe then this should be on the top of your list. Everyone from all over the world staying there, all having breakfast/supper together was spectular. The owners are everyday people willing to help you out with everything they made the stay so enjoyable. It’s definitely off the beaten path, I would recommend having a 4x4 vehicle to tackle the roads getting there and getting around. There’s a couple amazing beaches (best we thought on the whole west coast) super close and they are all so different. Would highly recommend staying here! Pura vida!"
