Top San Juanillo Hotel Reviews

The Coast Beachfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the beachfront hotel! The staff was very nice and it was a perfect location to walk to downtown Tamarindo when it was nice weather, or just a short drive. There were a lot of ants in our room, but that is probably just the norm. We wish the paddle boards and surfboards were a little bit better kept, as there was only one paddle for the paddle boards, and it broke within a few minutes of using it. A few of the surfboards definitely needed some maintenance as well. The breakfast every morning was very nice, and we would definitely stay here again!"

JW Marriott Guanacaste Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Property was very clean, and staff were very friendly. We had a great view of the ocean from our room. We did have an intruder (Racoon) enter our room through the balcony door and open the bar fridge and stole a bag of peanuts. We learned that we needed to keep our balcony door locked and not just closed! However, we will definitely go back! Food and drinks are a little pricey!"

The Gilded Iguana Surf Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is amazing. Hotel communicates well. Environment great for adults or kids. Multiple visits, always great. Francisco deserves standout special mention, beyond friendly and helpful."

Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, very friendly and helpful. We felt very safe and welcomed. The food was excellent! Service was quick. Overall definitely recommend Azura!"

Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was exceptional, felt like you were part of the family for a short time !! There are a few resort cats who we might have renamed while we were there 🐈‍⬛😂 The beach that is not swimmable is gorgeous and we spent a lot of time there . Our room was lovely and someone always made sure we had extra towels"

Ocho Artisan Bungalows - Adults only

10/10 Excellent

"Ocho is an amazing place. We truly had the best time staying here. The staff goes ABOVE and BEYOND. From the pool to the bungalows it was so well decorated and such a cute place. The breakfast is amazing every morning, The beach is clean. I HIGHLY recommended. Giovanni, Elsa, Nancy, David, we can’t thank you guys enough for making our stay memorable. 5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

In the Shade Hotel - Coworking - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Nous avions une chambre avec «cuisine», mais les équipements fournis ne permettent pas vraiment de cuisiner: il y a peu de vaisselle, la cafetière et le grille pain ne donnaient pas envie de s’en servir… Également les photos donnent l’impression d’un établissement pratiquement neuf, alors que ce n’est pas le cas. Point positif: la piscine est un atout majeur pour se rafraîchir au retour de la plage!"

Hotel Boutique Lagarta Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I appreciated that a hotel as lovely as this was still welcoming to families. Breakfast was delicious. We recommend going to local restaurants for lunch and dinner - Il Pepperoni and Al Chile were favorites. We also appreciated the monkey bridge that brought a family of 20+ monkeys to the tree next to our room! A trip highlight. Our final morning we visited Sibu Wildlife Refuge and it was incredible."

Refugio Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Super helpful staff, large room, comfortable beds, great breakfast, wonderful location. Everything you hope for in an affordable hotel."
