Too many insects in the rooms due poor construction and gaps in windows and doors. Pool water not clean. Beach and waves are outstanding - however this is not a place for young children or weaker swimmers to enter the ocean. There is a very steep beach creating a powerful backwash after each wave. Paradise for surfers though. The waves just don't want to stop breaking and are excellent to surf.

Hermosa Beach in Costa Rica is easily the best ocean swim I have ever had. The waves are massive and completely relentless—just wave after wave. But you need to be a good swimmer if you are going to go in. The currents are very strong. I was wiped out in just five minutes, while some surfers were effortlessly riding them for three hours. It makes sense, though—fighting the edge is where the real workout is, while the deeper water lets you actually ride the energy.

The hotel is right on the beach. We landed a day early, cutting the stay at La Fortuna by a day. We got a different room, but Jacob offered me the better room. As it turned out, there was a beach facing room but it was occupied. The following day, he transferred us to that room and didn't even charge us. The service is terrific, the rooms were great and the stay was simply amazing. Will definitely stay here again if I return to Costa Rica.

Perfect location

A lovely first night in Costa Rica. The hotel is literally on the beach front. The sound of the waves crashing was nice and it was like I was in my own personal sleep sounds app.

I stayed in the best room - 201. Upstairs, facing the beach. 2 balconies. Room is bare, but has coffee machine and a bed, and that’s all I needed!

Dinner was nice, as was the breakfast.

The beach is ace. I stayed here just for the black sand.

The beach is beautiful but waves were really strong...definitely not for swimming with kids. Food at the restaurant was delicious. Breakfast was not the buffet but overall filling. Birds as anywhere in Costa Rica were entertaining... especially a flock of macaws in a jungle area across the small street. I would return here again.

Great place to stay. Night guard and manager are really nice and accommodating. Breakfast is included and was delicious. The waitress were rude to me and my friends. No smiles and didn’t seem happy to serve us. Everyone else was super nice. The hotel is not surf friendly! No board racks and no coffee available earlier than 7. I like how they have a huge warning sign for the dangerous conditions this beach brings but the sign totally blocks the view of the main peak. They charged us for coffee because it was 10 mins. before 7. Whatever…..
The pool is perfect and would be a great place to bring kids. Overall I would stay again because it was clean and safe.

This was a great hotel. It was clean and roomy. The pool was gorgeous. The restaurant was fast and served great food and drinks. It is right on the beach. We enjoyed walking the beach in the mornings. We also saw several tropical birds, including the scarlet macaw in the trees across the street. There were at least 4 macaws in the trees. It was amazing! It’s also a very short drive to Carara National Park (20-30 minutes), where we hiked and saw monkeys, a poison dark frog, scarlet macaws, agoutis, and several other birds and iguanas. Also, the manager was very helpful, friendly, and attentive.

The only good thing about this place is that room 201 has the upper balcony that overlooks the ocean.
Now the Cons: our balcony sliding door didn't lock. So essentially anyone from the beach could walk up and climb up on our deck and open the sliding glass door. We didn't feel secure and I didn't trust my belongings there while I was away. I told the front desk guy about it and he came to my room with the maintenance guy and they couldn't fix it. He said we'll get you a stick. It took over an hour and a text to him asking if he was going to bring down a stick to secure the door. Finally the maintenance guy came and gave my husband a broom handle. The damn stick was too long to wedge in door jam! My husband texted the front desk guy and said the stick is too long and doesn't work. He read the message and chose to ignore us the rest of the night. So I ended up taking a wooden chair and wedging it in the door jam to secure it while we slept. We didn't feel safe so we left the next day. The hotel manager was there and asked us why. We told him our reasons and he never offered to refund us our money for the second night we paid for. I was just done with them.
The room itself was fairly clean. Bare bones minimum. The shower drain was gross with a busted metal cover. The curtain on the broken sliding back door had black mold growing on it.
The food is not good. The service at the restaurant was good. They were nice. Front desk guy was super rude.

We can’t say enough good things about this place. It was newly renovated, we were in a room directly on the beach with a patio over looking the beach and the sea. It was a dream location.
The beach and sea are right there for swimming & sun bathing.
The staff are really friendly with a shoutout going to Eric, Alan & Angela who patiently helped us navigate SIM cards, places to visit and pretty much any requests. We really appreciated the great conversations too.
One thing to note is there is no fridge or coffee maker in the rooms but we were told these will be comming.

Highly recommend and take no notice of the bad reviews many months ago as the hotel is under new ownership and has been renovated.
Thankfully we read the review that mentioned this or we would have missed out on a real gem !!
We will be back !

Pretty basic place to stay if you want access to the beach and the local restaurants & bars. The room was a bit run down with only one bright light and lumpy pillows on the bed. There was no safe in the room, and Wi-Fi only near the front desk. Pool and their beach area was great, though we were woken up at 6:30-7am by a group of 30+ people using it for a party. They didn’t clean our room while we were there (2 nights)

Ok if you just need a place to sleep for a night

Pros: staff is friendly and helpful, right on beach, macaws and iguanas in trees, breakfast is sufficient, A/C works, easy walk to restaurants

Cons: run down, hotel sells day passes to pool so it was FULL, dogs and food in pool, some safety concerns like extension cords with phones plugged in on the edge of pool, “bar” only has one kind of canned beer and some sodas, bugs and ants in rooms, pool had hazy water

It was ok if you were just passing through and needed a place to sleep for one night. We felt safe.

Price was double what this was worth in CR. Nice location on the beach, but sparse amenities. WiFi only in front of the office. Worst thing is they bus in people for the day on Saturday and Sunday who crowd the pool and beach area leaving no place for hotel guests. There were easily 100 on Sunday - no regard for the overnight guests.

Outdated and lacking maintenance.
The hotel is right in front of the ocean, which is great. Unfortunately, that’s the only good thing about it.

Maintenance required

The staff, was very unfriendly and everything needs maintenance; seems like the hotel is falling down. The pool and also the pool's bathroom have fungus.

No pool rules... everybody eats in the pool and water was cloudy and disgusting.Nobody cares about pool's cleanliness.
I got my breakfast on a reused (not washed dish) . In summary, not a nice place. Overrated !!!

Worst ever value, stay absolutely anywhere else

Im ashamed i paid so much for such a terrible hotel. Im terribly disappointed at what poor value it was. Hotels.com and the owners of the hotel should all be ashamed of themselves. uncomfortable bed, room full of cockroaches. I didn't even get a towel... just a bath mat. no shampoo. Nice beach.

Place is very relaxing. Good for a surf trip just don't expect 5 star amenities. They offer a free breakfast (desayuna tipico or continental) and coffee. They could use new pillows. Surf conditions in front of the hotel can get pretty serious. Not for beginners. Overall a nice Costa Rica vibe.

Will go back anytime... good for the money

Check in/out was easy and fast, no elevator but only 2 floors. Hotel/pool cleanliness was perfect. Food was good and it's price was good too. The only bad comment is about the bed... a little too hard. Overall I liked the hotel and will go back anytime.

This was a cute mom and pop hotel.

Loved our stay here! The hotel is located right on the beach. It was very quiet, and we practically had the beach to ourselves. If you're looking for a fancy getaway, this is not the place for you. This is where you go when you want to avoid the tourists and just relax. The only other guests were surfers, and we enjoyed watching the every morning. They also have a restaurant/bar that faces the ocean. The food was incredible. The entire staff was very friendly and accomodating. Our room was always clean and the hotel grounds were very well kept. We cannot wait to return here!

The only nice thing close was the beach

It was a disappointment to get to know an old hotel with no maintenance at all... The rooms are ugly, the swimming pool is missing tiles, the breakfast is poor and the worst \"pinto\" ever. The hotel has the bad idea to let people use ammenities for a cheap fee so that changes a calm stay into a bad taste party.

Comfortable room and cold air.... beautiful sunset

Very nice accomodating staff, room was comfortable yet not visually appealing. Our water was warm enough but not hot. Actually as hot as Puntarenasa area is, hot water is not really necessary. I wanted a COLD shower.
The free breakfast included Gallo Pinto or fruit. Very Nice!

Won't be returning

You get almost what you pay for. Rooms have enough space but look quite dated, a giant roach was staying with us in our room and fridge was not standard. Food in restaurant is OK but pricey. Also they were fixing something on the next room right after check in and it sounded like we had a truck in our room. You may find yourself way better somewhere else if you can pay a little bit more.

Really bad experience

Overall it was awful. After looking at the pics here of the hotel, it seemed like a nice, clean, comfy hotel... exactly what we were looking for, nothing too expensive. Well, to my surprise the hotel looked nothing like the pics. We stayed in room#15; the room looked dirty, old, with stained sheets, the bathroom floor had some stains in the shower, the a/c sounded like it was gonna explode. Breakfast is included, but the food was terrible. Its a shame really cause it has a great location, but you can tell no remodeling has been done to this place for quite a while.

run down but close to beach

The biggest disappointment about this hotel was the price for the actual quality of the property and room. We reserved two rooms and one had a strong foul odor, two geckos inside it that fought all night, and a broken air conditioner. The linens were threadbare and in need of replacement. The bathrooms looked particularly dirty. The staff were nice and the hotel really is right on the beach. When we went to the bar for a drink all they had was beer and we were told the liquor was locked up and he didn't have the key. This really is an ideal location for suffers, but I would not recommend it for vacationers and certainly not for the listed price.
