Makanda by the Sea
10/10 Excellent
"The ideal hotel for relaxing and watching the wildlife on property. We went on a national park tour and saw fewer monkeys and Sloths than each day at the hotel. Staff are amazingly helpful and accommodating. Low stress environment. You’ll spend a little more of food and drinks but for the property and amenities it’s worth every cent."

"Fantastic Stay!We had an incredible experience here. The staff went above and beyond, especially Jose and Amy, who made our stay unforgettable. The room was spotless, and the location was perfect for exploring. We absolutely loved spending time by the stunning infinity pool. Dinner featured fantastic food, and the ceviche was truly amazing. Highly recommend!"
KC Hotel San José

"Decent hotel gym and nice pool"
La Vela Boutique Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Fue agradable volver después de algún tiempo. Lo único que no me gustó fue que nos asignaran 2 habitaciones separadas cuando la reserva era para una sola habitación con una cama king. Al ser 2 habitaciones tuve que dormir yo solo en una habitación y mi esposa con mi hija en otra. Por lo demás, todo estuvo bien."
