Top Matapalo Beach Hotel Reviews

Lamangata Luxury Surf Resort - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We had the best time at Lamangata - the hotel is stunning. You can tell Hernan & team take immense pride in the property, as it's impeccably cared for. The pool is also an absolute dream. One thing to note is that the property functions a bit like a chalet, with a setup designed to encourage interaction among guests. If you are open to this, it’s a massive highlight. The rooms are beautiful and offer sweeping views over the vast forest all the way down to the ocean. The surprising highlight of the trip was the unbelievable food. Chefs Eladio and Tony make everything from scratch, and it's all delicious. For activities, my friend took surf lessons and had a fantastic time, learning a huge amount in a very short period. Junior (the head coach) is an incredible teacher. Even though I didn’t surf this time, watching them made me want to come back for a dedicated week of learning! Location-wise, the hotel is situated up a long gravel road, so having a 4x4 is definitely helpful. However, the hotel team is also great at getting you wherever you need to go. You can't walk anywhere directly from the property, but it’s only a quick 10-15 minute drive to the nearest small town. The only minor inconveniences were that the Wi-Fi and the air conditioning in our room could occasionally be a little unreliable. However, the staff always sorted it out quickly, so it really didn't impact our stay. Overall, Lamangata is a truly special place. I can't wait to return!"

Raya

"Close to the beach, super clean and friendly staff."

Hacienda Barú Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The location is amazing, wonderful animals everywhere, and the staff was so kind and helpful!! I recommend coming for a Pura Vida adventure!!!"

Hotel Diuwak

10/10 Excellent

"El hotel esta super cerca de la playa en una área muy bella exuberante de vegetación, picina super limpia, personal super amable. El desayuno formidable y un reconocimiento especial a Carlos en el lobby y a la muchacha de limpieza por habernos localizado lugo de salir porque había dejado documentos y tarjetas de valor, nos devolvimos y todo super ... super recomendación."

Casa Alba

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our experience at Casa Alba. The staff was helpful to bring us a lighter to light the grill, offered a complimentary house cleaning midway through our stay. The bats and toucans around the place were great. The kitchen was stocked with enough equipment to allow us to cook our meals. Pool time was great and the views were fantastic."

Tropical Sands Dominical Eco Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Note**** They are a cash business or they take Zelle (I missed that upon booking). This is a very charming, well-maintained, and secure property. We initially stayed in a cabina without air conditioning, but after the first night we upgraded to a room with A/C, which made our stay even more comfortable. The staff were outstanding—friendly, attentive, and excellent with communication throughout our visit. Our room was consistently clean, and the quality of the linens and towels was especially impressive. Amenities are minimal, so if you’re looking for features like a pool or in-room TV, this may not be the right fit. However, if you value a simple, clean environment with thoughtful, personalized service, this is a great choice. The location is very convenient: there’s a restaurant just across the parking lot, and the beach is only a 3–5 minute walk away. You’ll also find plenty of nearby restaurants, bars, and a grocery store within easy walking distance. We didn’t have a car and had no trouble accessing everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again in the future."

Monos Locos - Portasol Vacation Rental

10/10 Excellent

"The place is located in the mountain, the road is mud and stone it's not easy to get up there."

Lapazul

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place in an amazing, peaceful location. The room was perfect! The staff were wonderful and the food was great! The pool was the nicest I have seen in Costa Rica, and I have stayed many places. I highly recommend staying at this incredible hotel!"

Casa Henaway

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing time with our family. The home was well maintained, they even had things we were not expecting. Like extra towels, and laundry detergent to name a couple. We got to see and hear a good amount of the wildlife too. This is a beautiful place to visit. "
