San Rafael Hotels

"This is a very strange property. There are a lot of hotels, private condominiums sharing the same facilities but having separate gated access. The common grounds, however, aren’t being looked after so well. The Selvamar section we stayed in was okay, but a bit tired now. Room was much smaller than anywhere else we stayed in Costa Rica, but it was comfortable. Breakfast was decent, but the restaurant by the main pool where we had a dinner wasn’t the best and not worth the money they charge. Two pools are kids friendly and they are of pretty decent size, but not very deep. Some other activities, like mini golf, are charged separately. There is a new high-rise apartment building buying built right by the main pool area & beach, which will look awful. I wouldn’t stay here again, because it doesn’t provide the Costa Rica experience I like, it’s more like something taken out of Benidorm, but I do understand why some might be very keen on it."

"Not even water in the honey moon room, no VIP bracelet available"

"Everything was good. We enjoyed so much our stay. We loved the hospitality and such gourmet dinner."

"Clean room, helpful staff, beautiful view. "

"Kitchen and apartment fully equipped. The check-in process seemed a little unusual with the website, but was easy to understand "

"Absolutely amazing hotel , very clean and beautiful. It’s so peaceful there . Food was the best I’ve had in Costa Rica - and we’ve tried a lot , but nothing beats the taste and quality of their meals . Stuff goes above and beyond to assist everyone with all needs and requests. I would love to be back there one day and highly recommend it to anyone."

"We loved seeing all the wildlife at this hotel. There were monkeys in the trees and we saw Scarlet Macaws. "

"A sweet little place. There was a lovely pool with hammocks and full outside kitchen with large fridge that guests could use. The room was simple but very clean. Bed was a bit firm but comfy. Shower was hot. Our host Laurie was awesome. When we arrived she offered for supper to be prepared for us for a very reasonable fee. We had a delicious vegatable au gratin with rice pudding served on the upper deck. We also were served a wonderful breakfast up on the deck as well. We walked to the beach which was lovely for sunsets but not suitable for swimming. "

"Beautiful property integrated into the jungle, friendly and helpful staff."
