Hotels near Playa Penca

"We truly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Bosque Del Mar. Our Oceanfront room was wonderful with all the amenities needed--large room, separate sitting area and lovely balcony to view Playa Hermosa. The staff were also very accommodating. Our only complaint is that the beach seating is removed each day between 6 and 7pm. We would have appreciated the opportunity to continue to enjoy the beach with a place to sit in the evening. One suggestion: As there is no gift shop in the hotel or nearby, it would be helpful to have some incidentals for purchase when travelers forget to bring items from home; such as, sun screen and bug spray."

"From the time we arrived the experienced staff was friendly and very informative. Our room was very clean with fresh smelling soap and lotion. There grounds were manicured with a tropical feeling of palm trees. The breakfast selection plentiful and yummy, my husband had the Costa Rican breakfast and I had the yogurt and fruit , We took a morning walk and were able to see green parrots. The front desk staff was awesome delivering an important message from friends we were meeting up with. Awesome stay."

"We booked a room with a beach view. There are no room in facility that will give you beach view. "

"Great location! But apart from the location, the experience of the hotel doesn’t match the premium price it charges. We don’t recommend it and won’t go back."

"We had a wonderful stay at T Loft in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica, hosted by Eric — it truly exceeded our expectations. Eric personally designed and created this place, and you can feel his vision in every detail. The property is beautiful, new, stylish, and thoughtfully designed with modern technology and fast, reliable internet. All materials feel high-quality and comfortable, creating a luxurious yet cozy atmosphere. The bathroom is unforgettable — it feels like being outdoors, with a stunning stone wall where rainwater flows naturally during rainfall, turning a simple shower into a magical experience. The kitchen is perfectly equipped, including a multicooker, a large refrigerator with ice, and everything needed for cooking. The sleeping area was amazing — a huge comfortable bed, soft linens, and thoughtful details like bedside lighting and automatic phone charging. The only small thing missing was a full-length mirror, so I ended up using the bathroom door reflection — which actually made me smile every morning and became a cute little ritual. Eric personally showed us the property with pride and care, and you can truly feel the love he put into creating this space. He even prepared beach chairs and towels for us. The beach is about a 5-minute walk away and feels peaceful and uncrowded. Thank you, Eric — your dedication is deeply appreciated. We would happily return! "

"This place is rather dated and needs updates and repairs. Broken kitchen drawer, toilet runs on after every flush, mickey-mouse shower set up, we were obligated to clean pool every day if we wanted to use it, wifi faded in and out, and it generally felt like 'economy' lodging. A bit disappointing. Location is a short walk to beach, which we really liked."
