Top Playa Matapalo Hotel Reviews

Hotel Pura Vista

10/10 Excellent

"This place is amazing. We were sad that we only had one night here as we could have stayed for a week. The hotel is small - 6-8 rooms perched above the bay. The pool also overlooks the water and was such a treat to cool off from the heat. Mark is an excellent host and was incredibly helpful. The rooms were brilliantly laid out, modern, and comfortable. The small beach is about a 10-15 minute walk down the hill and lovely."

Tortuga Verde Glamping

8/10 Good

"The place is pretty cool! A unique stay. Definitely not a great place if you are planning on working since their WiFi is not the best. They do have a small coworking space but the lighting is kinda bad and bad WiFi as well. Aside from that, everything was great! The plunge pool was nice, the rooms nice and clean, and breakfast was small but good."

Siwõ Art Guesthouse

8/10 Good

"Staff was friendly upon arrival. Room is basic. Pool is nice! No options for breakfast at the hotel despite advertising that breakfast can be reserved a day before."
