- Review: T Loft at Playa Hermosa was an amazing experience for me. It was my first time traveling to Costa Rica alone and I was a bit nervous before the trip but that all went away as soon as I arrived. The number one important thing for me was to feel safe and secure and T Loft ended up being the perfect place for me. The place was wonderful.

You are a 20 minute walk to the main city center. I would highly recommend listening to the advice of the hotel staff and walk along the beach. The walk along the road would not be recommended, especially at night. This property is a good value for your money. I would stay here again., by Michael, May 22, 2023, rated 10/10 Excellent
