Great time in quiet Playa Hermosa!
This is a great property and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff is super helpful with special call out to Diego who helped us find surfing lessons in Tamarindo on our last day at the last minute! We loved our stay here. I highly recommend it. I would say just a smidge pricey for not including breakfast...but all in all, no complaints!

Great place to stay
Beautiful hotel with environment that really makes it seem like a tropical rainforest, especially in the dry Guanacaste region. Friendly staff, delicious food that is reasonably priced for the area and hotel. Monitored parking across the street. Fantastic quiet and low key beach. And you have to love the sound of howler monkeys in the morning. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Bosque Del Mar is a beautifully landscaped property. It was lovely to be right on the beach. The bedroom of our suite near the pool included a window wall from which we saw beautiful trees and plants. We felt like we were in the jungle as we walked around the property. The food was excellent and the restaurant has great views. All the staff were friendly and helpful and the small size of the hotel made for a serene and relaxing experience

Our room was perfectly situated on the beach which we loved you can hear the ocean from your room. It was perfectly located so anything you wanted to do was within a 20 or 30 minute drive

This hotel brought the jungle onto the beach and it was wonderful. We saw iguanas, monkeys, and several exotic birds on the property. The room was wonderful, as well, with very comfortable beds and air-conditioning. The service on the beach was not especially attentive, but everywhere else the service was terrific.

A charming hotel that exceeded all expectations. Amazing service and beautiful facilities. A unique property right on the beach, so much wildlife to see by the pool - howling monkeys and iguanas were a treat every day. Wish there were no jellyfish in the ocean so we could swim more. Otherwise, it was a fantastic stay.
