We had the most incredible holiday in Costa Rica and that was hugely due to the incredible staff at the Brasilito. The location was better than expected with parking on site, and right on the beach, and the staff in the hotel restaurant and bar was beyond perfect, so wonderfully friendly and efficient, we all became friends overnight!! And the food ….. wow, so so scrumptious, we actually ate there almost every night. We hope to visit Costa Rica again and will stay at hotel Brasilito, without a doubt. 😁😁

It was a nice budget place. Beds were pretty comfortable and AC worked well. Staff was very helpful when we needed to change rooms due to loud music being played directly behind our room. Pool was clean but a little overchlorinated. Hammocks were all wet and smelly. Need to be replaced or cleaned. We would probably come again though. Being right by the ocean and in walking distance from good eats was great You can even walk to Playa Con Chal or get a quad taxi.

Room and area around the hotel is always clean and maintained properly by staff. Especially Felix who is always around to help if needed. This is a rustic hotel and many locals from in and around Costa Rica come to visit and stay. It’s welcoming and comforting if that’s the vibe you are after.

There are many noises. Roosters all day every day, doesn’t matter the time of day. Birds. And lots of them.
Then you have the busy intersection, there are Sodas (local restaurants) in the area behind the hotel, and the gives a vibe of liveliness. Which I didn’t mind at all, it added to the experience of Pura Vida.

The proximity to everything you need and want is within walking distance.

The hotel is connected to a really good restaurant that serves stellar food (breakfast, lunch, dinner - breakfast not included in the hotel price). The hotel is just a few steps from the brasilito beach. And it’s only a few minutes to walk to Playa Conchal, which is a way nicer beach than playa brasilito. Playa Conchal’s sand is made up of crushed seashells, which makes the water crystal clear blue. Well worth a visit! If you like snorkeling there’s also decent snorkeling at playa conchal.

The staff at the hotel is awesome, always very happy and makes you feel very welcome. My favorite memory was to wake up early, before our kids woke up, and grab a coffee and enjoy the ocean view and take a walk on the beach.

They have a nice (but small) pool, but since the hotel is right next to the beach we ended up spending all our days on the beach.

The only minor complaint was that the room we stayed in was a bit small, so it made it hard to stay organized with suitcases for 4 people. But overall we had a fantastic time.

Can't beat the location right in the beach Hotel Brasilito is at the centre of it all. Good restaurant with amazing ambience -beach view and live music - attached. I would call this more of a hostel than a hotel though because accomodations are rustic. Down sides were that there is no safe for valuables, windows don't lock in ground level rooms which can raise safety concerns for some, very limited parking and no water bottle fill station was an inconvenience. Also the ceiling fan looked so dodgy once turned on we decided against using it. Overall though a great little spot and we would go back.

Hotel Brasilito more like hotel grossilito! We didn’t feel safe in this property. There was hair in the bed sheets when we arrived, the windows didn’t seal all the way so bugs were in it. My mom turned on the faucet and black water came out of the sink. The showers and toilets were dirty with grime running down. We check for bed bugs on the bed and then found hair all over the sheets! Looks like room wasn’t cleaned at all. They had a lot of stray pets in the bottom of the hotel, where the restaurant is, they were friendly animals but one cat looked diseased infested and looked like it was dieing, bless the poor things heart. Definitely not following any health or cleaning regulations in this place. There were 3 parking spots available for all the residents. We did not even spend the night, we left within 30 minutes and booked another hotel. We put in a request to cancel our stay over the next two days of our stay there and are still awaiting a refund. Bryan the desk worker was nice.

Nice little hotel right on the beach. We enjoyed the waves and having the restaurant right there. Unfortunately the food took a really long time to get, but it was tasty. There was a person working in the railing at 7am throwing the pieces on top of each other being very loud so that was annoying, but I would stay again for the price. We enjoyed having the pool also

We had one of the rooms with ocean view and that was great to wake up to. Also the patio was large and good to hang out end of day. Otherwise room is a bit small for 4 ppl and beds take all the room.
Area is ok, but not great. It’s a good small budget hotel to walk to conchal beach. We had trouble sleeping the first night due to a karaoke until about 10pm and roosters screaming all night. But night 2 and 3 were quieter.

Nice hotel at a reasonable price.

The hotel is very simple, but clean. Comfortable beds, spacious room and bathroom, clean swimming pool sorrounded by plants which make it enjoyable. There are discrepancies with the information provided in the website. There is no shuttle to the beach because they have made the beach a protected reserve and no vehicles are allowed. No breakfast is served, the restaurant opens at 11 am, but there are a couple of well priced restaurants right next to the hotel where it is definitely better to eat than at the hotel where it is overpriced. The website also says they give you beach towels, but they emphasize the towels are only for the pool. The front desk guy, Brayan, us very friendly and helpful.
The bars near the hotel are noisy, but we still slept very well.

I loved the location of the property, 20 minutes to Catalinas, 15 minutes to Potrero, 30 minutes to Tamarindo and 5 minutes walk to Conchal. The staff was very friendly and professional. At night there’s a security guy watching the facility and the parking. The place was clean and they have a little bar/restaurant that is convenient. Costa Rica is such an expensive country and even for me who come from the USA and I was worried that everything was so expensive. I paid a high amount for each night but the hotel is very outdated and needs massive renovations. Management should do something about it. I usually pay the same at “Hilton Inn” in any state in America and those are fully renovated hotel. Also, they told me if I want to check out an hour later, for an additional cost. I have an Airbnb and I never ask my guests for extra money if they need to check out an hour later. Those we’re my only two complaints. Other than that, I would recommend it.

Also please be aware don’t eat at the restaurant between the hotel and between the restaurant Brasilito, they ripped us off - food was raw and we got food poisoning and they charged us so much and it’s such a poor restaurant.

I enjoyed my stay. This is a very basic hotel room. No micro, no mini frig in my room. No insulation or sound barriers.
You will hear everything going on outside. It is quite most of the time but there are bars with music on weekends until 11 or little later
They did a wonderful job with pool area and making it tropical and relaxing.
LOCATION is Great. I had no car. Brasilito beach , your ion it. It’s not pretty until you walk either way! Conchal is an easy beach walk and a must. Tourist trap but well worth checking out. The pina colada in the pineapple with fresh fruit on it is a perfect size for the walk back
Going towards Flamingo there’s more secluded areas to enjoy the beach
Hotels happy hour is all day everyday!!
Food was ok service was SLOW. Check out sodas next door and 2 doors done. US dollar has tanked there so things are Expensive.
For the price this is a good value in a nice little native town. Everything you need within walking

The hotel is very cheap! Staff does not care about their guests. I asked for more coffee one morning and was told they had already made 3 pots of coffee and wouldn't be making any more till the afternoon. Are you kidding me? Asked t2 staff where and when we catch the bus back to Liberia and followed their information and sat at a bus station for 2.5 hours and no bus ever showed which screwed up our whole day of travel to Liberia which we ended up taking an $80us taxi to Liberia. No safe in our room. No fridge. The nosiest hotel I have ever stayed in. Somebody lives behind the property was using a grinder from 6am to 1030pm, dogs barking and bars across the street playing loud music till midnight with no one in the bars?
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone it has dirty areas surrounding it and terrible restaurants(sodas) and nothing to do at night.
Lots of homeless people surrounding the property which made us feel unsafe and unwilling to go out after 8pm.

They don't serve breakfast, but there are options right next door that offer takeout, so you can still have breakfast in the hotel dining area next to the beach. Best of all, Playa Conchal is just a short walk away. It's by far the best beach on the Pacific coast in the entire country. The water is crystal clear, unlike any of the several other beaches we visited on our 2-week trip. In addition, there are beach chairs and shade canopies available for rent.

We LOVED this place! It is in the heart of Brasilito right on the beach. You cannot beat the price of the rooms here! We stayed in the ocean front room, which has a porch to sit and overlook the waves. Now, this place is not fancy at all! Shower didn’t work great, but it was clean and comfortable. It is not a quiet, remote spot. There are 2 bars right next door, that played music from 11 am-11 pm every day. But it fits with the atmosphere. We did drive down to nosara for a bit more peace and quiet, so that is an option. It is a few minutes walk to Conchal Beach… beautiful! You can rent jet skis, ride horses and swim in the beautiful, warm ocean. I’d def recommend this place if you want to immerse yourself in the culture. The staff is amazing! So helpful and polite. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your awesome hotel!

Arrived and could not find parking and drove past hotel and then could not easily turn around without upsetting locals who were asking for payment to park and was one car street. Once found a spot in front it was temporary since hotel only has 4 parking spots for 10 rooms and they were full so we would have to move car to locked/gated area after 10p with night shift security guard. Room was ok but and looked clean but got bug bites for the 5minutes we were in there. Very noisy area and decided to head further down coast to stay so we checked out and left knowing it would not be refunded.

The property is at the beach entrance and across from two dance places, which each had different types of music played simultaneously until about 9:45 pm even though they had no patrons in them. The buildings are dilapidated and most people were Ticos at this time. The hotel staff was nice, the room was ok. The hotel guest population played their own loud music at the pool. Our room was at the intersection of the three music sources. Once the music stopped, we could actually hear the breaking of the waves on the beach, which was finally very relaxing. We only stayed one night.

Hotel Brasilito was a disappoontment. While its rustic architecture has the potential for charm, other aspects of its condition leave a lot to be desired. Perhaps the bare bulb overhead light fixture is an apt metaphor.

\"Beachfront\" is a bit of a stretch as it is across the street from a narrow access to the beach. A nearby restaurant BLASTS music well into the evening. It took two tries for the repair person to get the water to work in our room.

On the plus side, the A/C worked well enabling us to close some of the windows- others would not close- and cope with the noise.

We left after the first night of a planned two night stay.

Las fotos que muestran de las habitaciones son muy diferentes, se nota muy poco mantenimiento de las instalaciones que se notan ya viejas. Muy mal la piscina con horario por los que viajamos desde lejos. Las camas comodas y las duchas tambien. Para hotel de paso funciona pero no para vacacionar, por dicha no me quedé mas de 1 noche

Great place for a budget get away. You get a lot of bang for your buck. The only way you could get closer to the beach would to be on it. 20 feet away.

This hotel is about as close as you can get to the beach without actually sitting ON the beach, which is the main attraction as to why you'd want to book here. It is in an authentic Costa Rican community, you are definitely not at a resort secluded away. There are dogs and cats and chickens roaming freely. The bar across the street plays Latin pop music from noon until about 11pm every day and it is pretty loud. Bring earplugs! Rooms are very basic, no tv, no ice machines, no cups in the rooms. You do get towels and shampoo though. The staff are friendly and pleasant and are happy to assist you. The property is locked down at night and there is a security guard from 10pm onwards. Parking is limited to 4 spaces total and there rest is on the street. The convience store is a few steps away and you can buy some beer or booze and snacks and the little pool is a good place to chill out after sitting on the hot beach all day drinking what you bought, you can get ice and cups from the bar and they don't care. The low price of rooms reflects the overall condition of the facility. It could be modernized but then you'd be paying more.

I have known this property for 20 years , good location , good breakfast , good staff ect....However the place next door BLASTS MUSIC from Noon until 11:30 at night . Even with ear plugs I couldn't drown out the reggae !!!! I would suggest to the owner to make a silent off to the owner of this little bar to buy him out and turn it into a tour desk or anything else before he loses hotel guests ect... It is even too loud to have dinner in their nice restaurant, Too bad.

Sweet hotel with some big issues to work out

Staff is super sweet and accommodating, the best part of the experience. We did not have a great experience here though. Our first room had an air conditioner that wasn’t functional (and no fan). We were quickly moved to a second room, however sleeping was very challenging-the bar next door played unbelievably loud music with a heavy base until past midnight, the air conditioner in our new room stopped working, and there were so many large ants on every thing. Other reviews have said the sound is ok, maybe they had a garden view room? We paid 20$ more (so 90 total) on an ocean view room. The room was hot, so loud, and ants were crawling on everything. Yes, the hotel can’t control its neighbors, but they could purchase better windows and not charge such a high amount for a terrible nights sleep.

It’s what you can expect, and will be back.

Very cute small hotel. Fabulous location, I would request ocean view room. Yes there is music constantly, however you know that going in so bring earplugs and you will be fine. The staff was very nice and walking over to a fabulous snorkeling beach took about 10 minutes. So worth it.
