Top Playa Gandoca Hotel Reviews

Almonds and Corals Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Sublime. We saw sloths and toucans walking from reception to our air conditioned room. The property is IN the jungle on the beach. The food is excellent and varied, with portions almost too big. All of the staff is helpful and friendly. It's not Sandals so don't expect infinity pools, mini golf, open bars and a disco. Expect green macaws and monkeys on your amble to the virtually empty beach. You'll see an old wooden hull from a long ago shipwreck and pelicans skimming the small waves. There are mild rip currents on most beaches but they are easy to spot and 50 metres from the walkway finds a very gentle stretch. A short walk takes you to a little village of Manzanillo at the end of the road. Very local, very chill vibe. Great calm waters for swimming or just floating blissfully. There's a convenience store and a few restaurants, as well as snorkeling tours and a wildlife refuge. A little further in the other direction takes you to a slightly larger and equally chill town of Punta Uva. A mix of families, happy dogs, and scattered tourists, as well as some good places to grab a bite. For things like ATM, pharmacy, or restaurants, bars, gift shops and cafes it's about 12km on a bike or in an Uber. Highly recommend getting some phenomenal jerk chicken from Jason at Mcloud's Munchies - a little spot on the beach. I've been to 20 counties and stayed in "fancier" hotels. But this week has been the single best vacation experience I've had. Hands down."

Bungalows Punta Uva

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente habitación, personal amable. El desayuno incluido era bueno. Acceso a la playa privado. Muy buena experiencia, de regresar a limón, sería en mi caso al mismo hotel. 100% recomendado"

Pangea Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel has everything you need: proximity to the beach, AC, a kitchen and a pool!"

Beachfront Bungalows Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff and the property is reminiscent of a resort more so than a hotel/stay. Access to beach is extremely easy, attached to the backside of the property, though the beachfront is not 'developed' or 'set up' so do not expect a resort-like sun-chair set up. Excellent location if you want to be away from the hustle bustle of puerto viejo, but still biking distance to get to all the shops and cafes. Fabiano at the front desk, and Rosita for breakfast service, were both absolute delights and extremely helpful :)"

KAÑIK APART HOTEL

10/10 Excellent

"This is wonderful location. It is away from the busy areas with a 5 minute walk to the beach. The property was beautiful and the hosts were amazing."

Faith Glamping Dome Costa Rica

8/10 Good

"The glamping domes are not for those looking for a hotel with all of the amenities. It is glamping. The domes are smack dab in the middle of a forest surrounded by lots of nature. The ocean is steps away with a very private beach. The water was pretty rough in June, but still beautiful. Breakfast was delicious. The showers at the domes are cold water only; however, there is a separate hot water shower on the grounds. The zipper and small opening to some of the domes can be difficult to move in and out of (some have larger doors). Overall, it was okay."

Exōtico Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely space… lovely staff … great restaurant … a wonderful stay complete with tree frogs!"

Casa Yamann

10/10 Excellent

"This was a beautiful, quiet stay with nearby restaurants and a convenience store close by! Nice pool too "

Casa Coral Azul

10/10 Excellent

"The house was in great condition, kitchen had plenty of plates, cups, pots and pans, utensils, rice cooker, everything. Pool was clean and refreshing. Lots of room for the family for a few days."
