Independent, Tempate District hotels

"Z-102 Studios is an extraordinary place to stay!!!! I couldn’t speak more highly of it. Modern architecture, well appointed, artistic, functional… beyond expectation. We traveled with our young kids, so the extra bedroom, stocked kitchen, and pool were a huge plus. We had everything we needed and more. The entire property was kept immaculately clean and well presented. The appliances top notch and there’s even a washer/dryer, which came in great handy for us. Wish we could have stayed longer! It would be awesome to book all 4 apartments and come with family and friends. The neighboring area looks super cute, with live music, karaoke, outdoor restaurants and bars. We didn’t get to experience it because of a short visit, but it looked very inviting and lively. Gabriela, our rental contact was proactive, very hospitable, and super easy to contact. The check in process was super easy and smooth. The only thing to note is that our drive in was an interesting journey, crossing 2 flooded roads. We were driving at night and very lucky that we were following a local who knew the paths through the water. Otherwise, we would have turned back! So I would recommend traveling in daylight if possible, but it sure was a great way to get the true Costa Rica welcome experience! We loved our stay at Z-102 studios and would happily return. Highly recommended!!!"

"Wow is all I can say! What a great property! Being able to just walk right to one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica was amazing. We loved swimming in the surf and exploring life in the tide pools. Amenities were great. I wish we would have booked a full week here. "

"I loved everything about my stay at Curiol except the fan in the tent. It could really be replaced with something stronger. Otherwise it was beautiful and peaceful. A wonderful way to start our stay in Costa Rica!"
