Independent, Tempate District hotels

"Overall a great experience thank you! "

"Perfect laid back slice of paradise!"

"Santarena is a fabulous hotel where they make you feel at home; whether in the lobby, roof top, or in their spacious and well appointed rooms - some with spectacular ocean views. "

"Had an amazing time! Great staff, always available and willing to accommodate us. Thank you! Food was amazing and beach was beautiful and secluded. "

"Amazing place, unfortunately in 4 days/ 3 nights towels were never changed and the house never clean up. They only picked up the trash."

"Phenomenal experience with superb staff. Huge thank you to Louis, Steven, Alexandra and Angel!"

"Very nice remodeled hotel. Staff was very friendly. Easy safe parking. Close to beach."

"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!!!"

"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!"
