Beach Hotel - Buena Vista +

We felt immediately welcomed by Steven and Anna at the check in process, and communication up to that point had been fantastic. We loved this quaint, little, boutique hotel on the beach and all that it offered. Our deck had an amazing view, breakfast being included was a huge plus, and access to beach chairs and umbrella were ideal. If you enjoy beach walking, this was a perfect spot. The location also allowed us to be able to walk to Manuel Antonio National Park, avoiding the hassles of parking.

The food was wonderful, local breakfast foods, or American options. The views are stunning. Love having direct access to sunsets. The town walking distance to shopping, other places to eat. The staff were most exceptional, went out of their way to make our stay wonderful. We had anything we needed, and Anna and Stephen booked all our excursions, and had an itinerary before we even atrived. Definitely will be coming back. The bartenders to the staff who assisted were all phenomenal, friendly and go out of their way to make the stay pleasant. Sloths, monkeys all around also

Thanks to the staff!! Place is a very confortable and beautifull and in touch with the nature: sea, animals ( we have seen more animals here than in Manuel Antonio Natural Park ) . We recomend this place. Pura Vida

Staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is good. There is a resident cat that comes up onto balcony’s and patios which is fine if you like pets but not great if you’re allergic… Good location on the beach but a little bit too ‘open’ to the public meaning it doesn’t feel ultra safe - the sliding doors onto the patio areas weren’t exactly very secure (large gaps at the bottoms when locked shut) and anyone from the public beach could technically walk straight into the room without being noticed. The rooms were outdated and very damp (you could even smell it in the mattress). This unfortunately doesn’t make the room feel clean and fresh. The humidity in Costa Rica is high, but airing the rooms out between stays and having a dehumidifier set up in the rooms would help massively.Despite the friendly staff and beachfront location it was definitely our least favourite stay in the 3.5 weeks we were in Costa Rica.
