"The only thing okay about this place was the AC. The staff was super nice but we didn’t like the place in general. There were way too many bugs, frogs and ants (even on our beds). The bathtub was dirty. The photos of swimming pool of this property on the internet are years old. It is a dirty pond now. There was no shampoo or shower gel (which is fine for the price you pay) but really spooky and untidy place. Fine for emergencies or just to sleep for a night."

Top Playa Penca Hotel Reviews

Hotel Villa Del Sol

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is so kind and helpful here. The grounds are beautiful and breakfast was great."

Hotel Villa del Sueño

10/10 Excellent

"Yes, I liked this hotel. All very clean, really pleasant staff who seemed genuinely keen to help, good pool and good breakfast too. I especially appreciated being given a decent packed breakfast and not just a cracker or two when we had to leave very early on our last day. The standard room was quite compact but we didn't find it a problem, though I didn't prefer the sink being outside of the bathroom, that seemed odd. Playa hermosa itself is also a beautiful place, a lovely quiet beach when we were there. I only wish that Costa Rica in general wasn't so darned expensive in terms of restaurants etc, but that's nothing to do with the hotel of course. I'd recommend la casita del marisco at the other end of the beach for at least non-insane prices, if hardly a bargain - the ceviche is very good. Anyway - yes would definitely recommend villa del sueno."

Playa del Coco Hillside Villa • 4BR • Infinity Pool • Bay & Ocean Views

10/10 Excellent

"Property was amazing! Inside of a gated community up in the hillside this property was a great life experience. The views of Del Coco Bay are perfect. Host was very responsive on any questions. We were a party of 6 and were all very comfortable with our own rooms. Will rent again in the future."

Ocean-View Villa Just Minutes from the Beach – Pure Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of 8 just returned from a 9-day trip to Costa Rica, and it ranks among the best vacations our family has ever taken. Costa Rica delivered on every front: incredible adventures, amazing food, and a gorgeous house.What made this trip truly special was the team who supported us throughout. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely taken care of. The concierge team helped us plan our excursions and meals each day and were always available to answer questions — no matter how big or small. Victor, our driver, was an absolute gem: professional, warm, and always with a smile on his face. We never once worried about navigation or logistics, which meant we could simply be present and enjoy every moment together. Maria, our housekeeper, prepared a traditional Costa Rican breakfast for us each morning, and it was delicious every single time. The chef rounded out a team that made our whole vacation feel effortless and extraordinary.The house itself is stunning. The sunset view from the pool is the kind of thing you have to see to believe — we took what felt like a thousand photos! Whether we were out on excursions, exploring local restaurants, or doing absolutely nothing by the pool, every moment felt special. The downtime here is every bit as good as the adventures.If you're looking for a place where the house, the setting, and the people all come together perfectly - this is the place!"

Standout Luxury Ocean View Villa

10/10 Excellent

"Francisco and his team helped make our girls trip to Costa Rica unforgettable! The villa was the perfect size for 5 adults and a child, it was spotless, and had beautiful views of the Pacific and distant mountains. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and loved our proximity to beaches, grocery store, shopping, and all our planned adventures/activities. Francisco was extremely helpful and communicative from the early days of planning our trip to moment we departed for the airport. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect vacation. Thank you, Francisco!"

Playa del Coco Villa • 6BR • Private Pool • Beachfront Sunset Views

8/10 Good

"The house is amazing. But that Rooster has got to go. Pay the neighbors to get rid of their chickens so the Rooster will go elsewhere. Starts at 3 am and lasts until 7am. Super loud next to house. I could not sleep through it. I would love to return. But that Rooster is a big problem for me."

"We loved this property! The view and pool were amazing, the kitchen was well stocked with anything you could need and Zindis the hospitality company was amazing."
