Large room...really an apartment. Beautiful view towards the beach. Can hear the surf at night. Friendly helpful staff. If you are expecting the Four Seasons...this is not the place for you. But a great location...quiet...miles of empty beach. Would happily stay here again.

Hotel Cocomar is not the ritz however your room is huge, clean and has a private beach directly in front which for the price is amazing! Staff is super friendly and helpful, but you need to ask for what you want. Property is dated and definitely needs upkeep, but for Costa Rica it is a little Gem. They have some resident stray dogs and cats who are super friendly but if you don’t like animals, maybe it’s not the place for you. Food and drinks were delicious! Highly recommend the nachos ;) The beach is beautiful but waves are crazy and could kill you! Wonderful to sit and watch the waves or walk the beach and find treasures. Beds were comfortable and there were some English movies. If you want a hot shower- do it first thing in the morning! The monkeys tend to visit the Java apple tree on the property in the late afternoon and give you a show. Full kitchen in the room if you want to make your own food. Overall we had a great relaxing stay, drove to Manuel Antonio and Jaco beach was close enough for day trips - also rainmaker park was lovely and close too. We recommend this hotel for those who enjoy a peaceful getaway from the hustle and bustle - it’s tranquil and you can be at peace on the beach without anyone else around. If you can learn some basics in Spanish it will help you communicate with staff but they do speak English and will teach you some Spanish ;) Hotel Cocomar met our expectations and we hope others give it a chance as it deserves to be experienced.

I cannot say enough about this gem ! I mean everything about it is a 10/10.. the cleanliness of the place and the spacious suite are impressive and the views of the beach from the balcony is phenomenal! The restaurant in the hotel is also really good and serves up some really amazing drinks and enough cannot be said about the manager José ! He is really fit for the job - friendly and responsive and always willing to help! The location is really good and we had the beach to ourselves ! I mean literally nobody is law during the day! Oh the evenings maybe a handful of people but it’s so big you can hardly notice ! A must stay if you want to be far from the MA crowds but still maybe do a day trip there!

if you can afford to stay somewhere else, stay somewhere else - i considered staying in my car over this place. this hotel is well below average and absolutely does not deserve anything above a 2 star rating.

* off the beaten path: far from everything, renting a car is a must, the driver charges a lot of money and only accepts cash, taxis and ubers don’t come here
* disconnect from reality: has wifi, but we lost power overnight which meant no wifi, no ac, no ability to contact anyone including people who work here
* staff is friendly: probably the only positive i have regarding this hotel, but it appears no one is here overnight, they have a very young front of the house staff, and learn some spanish because they know little english
* rooms are meh: big, has a fine bed, water is freezing to shower in, found a roach crawling around, will get cleaned upon request and when requested, there’s a 50/50 chance they’ll clean it
* beach is beautiful: black sand beach which is cool, public and across the street, few plastic beach chairs that feel like they might break underneath you, not good for swimming
* dog friendly: including strays which may sit right outside your door and bark all night long

costa rica is beautiful and if you’re staying at this hotel, you’ll see a lot of it because you will want to be here as little as possible.

We were at the beachfront suite. It was very spacious - it included a full-size kitchen, a living area, a separate dining area, and two jumbo patios. Totally king-sized. These are the plus points.

My bathroom (#7) had an issue. The toilet bowl was not filling up .. was leaking. Every time I had to lift the lid, apply my DIY techniques, and fill up the water.

The restaurant closes at 9:30 PM - that's not the best. Bar closes at 10 PM, again, not the best. The pool was open till midnight - great.

We stayed there for just one night. We felt bad because we had very little time to enjoy the property. However, we realized later that the place had very little to offer. The property was in a very secluded place, with a pathetic approach road (dirt road). The beach was also not suitable for swimming -we were warned. As long as you want to stay in the property and enjoy the property, this gets a thumbs up from me. If you are like me, who wants to stay put in a happening place, it's not optimal.

Close to beach is about all the good things to say. Large waves not for weak swimmers so my wife would not go in. Toilets backed up repeatedly, reported it before we went out for the day, was told it was fixed and if it continued to happen they would move us to another room but by time we got back after 5pm there was no one at the office to talk too.Room also had mold on the walls in the bathroom and one morning we had no water at all for a while. We ended up leaving two days early and went elsewhere. Went to the restaurant to eat a little after 5 pm and it was closed so decided to go down the street to eat, went got ready to go out after hiking all day and as we were leaving the two workers were opening it up. We said gee we thought you were closed. They told us they were on a break which lasted for a good 1/2 hr or so. All this and you had to drive a couple miles on a dirt road to get there...never again!

We stayed for 5 nights in an Ocean View Room with Balcony. I fail to understand all the recent 9+ reviews for this hotel. I have travelled extensively and I am very lenient with ratings because I want to support tourism. This hotel would earn a maximum of 7.0 rating.

Pros:
1. Quite Spot
2. Great view
3. Balcon is large and furnished with rattan furniture
4. Staff all speaks English and very friendly.
5. Onsite free laudry service

Cons:
1. Building and furniture are all showing age to the point of needing changes immediately.
2. Beach is very muddy and dirty. This may be caused by the rainy season.
3. Food selection is poor, quality is average and overly expensive since everything is marked in USD.
4. The hotel is located in a non-tourist town and far away from all the tour attractions. Jaconis about 1 hour away and Quepos is about 45 minutes away by car. If you don't have a vehicle, you will likely be stuck at the hotel for the entire duration.
5. Wifi signal is extremely poor in rooms and there is no cellphone signal at all. Must drive towards town for about 2km to get celll signal.

Loved this property! Here are some facts before staying-hotel was down a 4mile gravel road. We thought we took a wrong turn, but no. It is a bit secluded so get things before you get in and get settled. It was the most relaxed we felt in a long time and after doing adventure excursions earlier in the week it was nice to relax. The hotel handled our COVID tests before our flight and also let us know our son left his wallet there-oops. They were great and every staff member we spoke to helped us. Food was excellent and we didn’t even try anywhere else because it was well priced and delicious-plus we weren’t there long. Security guard to let you in and out warned us to be careful out and about if we left. Monkeys all around and flocks of parakeets and parrots. I would definitely go back.

The reviews made this place sound pretty amazing but we felt it’s not really worth a stop over.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beachfront hotel. We were blown away by the large full apartment like setting with 2 large balconies. The staff was wonderful, especially Jean who checked us in, arranged a tour to Manuel Antonio and worked in the restaurant. Tons of free amenities and very good breakfast. Relaxing at the quiet private beach with the provided beach chairs was so relaxing. So nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the nearby cities. If you want a relaxing stay away from crowds of tourists, then this is your place. Definitely would recommend a car and to stop off at the grocery store to get any snacks for the room (full kitchen) on your way I , as the place is a bit off the beaten path, down an unlaced road (so worth it.)

This hotel was about a 50 minute drive to Manuel Antonio National Park, and we were glad that we weren't staying right in that area because it was extremely touristy and busy. If you are looking for a nice relaxing place to stay, look no further.

The property was very well maintained (without looking like a generic resort like other places), the staff ere wonderful, and the restaurant was amazing! The beach was not one of those crowded \"resort beaches\" -- there was a maximum of 5 people at any given time (including the two of us). In addition, the beach stretched on for an hour's walk in either direction, so space was not an issue.

One minor point that the hotel owner mentioned was that some guests were not fans of the driftwood on the beach. I thought it was noticeable, but it was no where near obstructive (again, practically endless beach). Personally, I wouldn't have even thought that would be an \"issue\" had he not mentioned it.

A No Start Hotel with a 3 Star Hotel price that is BETTER than a 5 STAR HOTEL! If you are a family or a romantic couple, someone in need of rest and relaxation, someone that wants to enjoy the beach or someone that just wants to escape the rat race, you will rate this hotel at least a 9 out of 10. Great peoBeing ple from the owner, manager, front desk, the chef and his food, housekeeping and everyone else that works there. The hotel is great and keeps getting better from continuous improvements made to every facet. I gave the comfort level 4 smiley faces but it is above average and getting better.

This hotel might be a little out of the way for someone who does not have a vehicle, but that is one of the things we liked about it. The owner/manger is helpful and engaging. The grounds and rooms are clean and well appointed. The location is quite and beach access is directly across the street. Having a restaurant on site is a plus.

Fun pool and great beach!

Lovely beach and friendly service. Probably wouldn't eat at the restaurant again - but it could have been what we ordered.

Paradise!

The hotel is privately situated on a stretch of beach that seems exclusive! There are currently 18 rooms and suites so even at capacity it remains quiet and relaxing. The staff are personable and accommodating and the included breakfast is fantastic! We will be back!

Excellent property, friendly staff, at the beach

Check in was fast and easy and we were given a quick tour of the property. It's a two minute walk across a quiet road to the beach, and the staff even offer to set up hammocks or chairs for you, and there was a volleyball net.

After a quick swim in the ocean, we went to the very warm pool (which is open 24 hours!). The property is very well maintained, very friendly staff, and very very relaxing.

The only downside is the road to get there is a little bumpy and the hotel is a ways off the main road (but in some ways that was a very welcomed change). I highly recommend staying here.

Perfect hotel for us with a beautiful view

We visited Cocomar for 3 days in March 2018. We stayed in room 13 which was very roomy with a king bed and a single bed. Lovely bathroom with large shower and gorgeous hand-painted double sinks. The view from our outdoor, tiled patio was of ocean and palm trees. This resort has a nice pool. Added features were the Iguanas and Land crabs around the resort which were quite entertaining. This was a nice location as we visited Manuel Antonio and Jaco from here.

Great place to relax

Great staff and service, great location (if you have your own vehicle), great beach. Restaurant menu and quality need improvement; quite expensive for basic fare. Breakfast was nice but the same every day.

Stay here instead of Quepos to see Manuel Antonio

Beautiful setting at the edge of a deserted black-sand beach facing south, aligned with sunrise and sunset. Very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable, clean rooms with good air conditioning, mini refrigerator, closet with drawers; spacious bathroom stocked with soap and fresh towels daily. Two buildings with single units at all four corners, on two floors, giving you a choice of eight single rooms with ocean views, and eight facing the parking area. Large floor-through suites at the center of each building. Outdoor showers and a beautiful pool area with bathrooms and spa. Close-out waves on the beach aren't much good for surfing, but good swimming with some rip currents. The only thing we didn't understand was the prices at the restaurant which are outrageous. This is the only place we visited in Costa Rica where tax and gratuity are NOT included in the price. Skip the Cocomar restaurant - except the delicious, free breakfast - and visit the nearby bar/restaurant on the same dirt road.
