Hotels near Playa Azul

"The location on the black sand beach is beautiful. Rooms are large and the bed and bed shots are so very confortable."

"The property, which is in a natural preserve, needs better upkeep. The rooms are dated and our bathroom had lots of mold, which is totally unacceptable. Also, the rooms are spread all around the property through trails and you go up and down the mountain to reach them. This, in the suffocating heat and humidity, is exhausting. There is no A/C anywhere in the property except the bedrooms. The restaurant is ok, but again: no A/C, limited options. The one shining pearl in all this was the SPA. I had a relaxing massage with Fanny, which was fantastic."

"parking was easy. Staff was amazing, so friendly and they helped set up excursions with locals. The communication before hand was sketchy, but once I got there they made several calls to help set up excursions and they even told us about the turtles arriving at a nearby beach! We did not have water pressure for some reason on the last day so we couldn't take a shower. Two shower heads squirted water out over the top off the shower and one handle was coming off. We didn't really care, more of an FYI. The shower is out in the open, which we knew from the pictures, but just be aware. The staff doesn't arrive until 12;00 PM. So if you need something early you will have to just wait. the beach is just a staircase away, and amazing and quiet. Anything remotely not perfect was just part of the experience in my opinion and a matter of your perspective. Well worth the trip."

"Outstanding staff. Gave us great local recommendations and very attentive. Bungalows are clean, but simple. The property is outside the main tourist spots, but the beaches close by are even better."

"Good A/C, nice sized room. Appreciated the "larger" mini frudge and coffee maker in the room. Very helpful woth local resources and advice on best travel routes. Got to see a mother howler monkey nursing her baby in the tree just adjacent to the room. Room walls are concrete, so couldn't hear anything from adjacent rooms. Much more serene atmosphere than the hectic pace and crowds in Nosara and Guiones beach areas. Would definitely stay again. Thank you, Louie for wonderful hospitality."

"The rooms were very comfortable (best sleep we had on our trip to Costa Rica) and we loved the pool, the beach, the sunsets, and the star gazing at night. We were there with our family. It is a bit remote so good idea to bring games and snacks if traveling with kids. The restaurant on the premise is expensive but serves creative dishes by a Michelin star chef using local ingredients."

"Staff were lovely and inviting. Room was clean and comfortable. This hotel and restaurant combination is safe, friendly, comfortable, and relaxing. Beautiful beach is very close walk. "
