Hotel Yadran Beach Resort, hotel in Puntarenas

Situated in Puntarenas, less than 1 km from Puntarenas Beach, Hotel Yadran Beach Resort features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

A slightly absurd but totally pleasant place to stay. The hay-days of this sister-establishment of that Caribbean hotel from the Godfather movies are, however, long gone. There is maybe even a casino (advertised but not seen). There certainly is a lovely pool on a desolate roof but it seemed to be out of hours. Checking in, you get a festival-like bracelet which is most annoying and entirely unnecessary. We ripped ours off which ever so slightly disgruntled the otherwise helpful and correct reception guy. The queen beds are HUGE, as in much broader than long. AC works. The antiquated feel of the whole place is more pronounced in the bathroom where a 30cm shower cabin threshold makes for one of many interesting interior design solutions some of which weren’t cool even back in the 1970s. This is, however, not a bad place to stay at all. Rooms are nice and clean. There is a supervised parking and 24h reception and the ferries of Puntarenas are at 75 m which makes this. Perfect stop for those early ferry departures.

Isla Chiquita Glamping Hotel, hotel in Puntarenas

Isla Chiquita Glamping Hotel has a restaurant, outdoor plunge pool, a bar and garden in Puntarenas. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace.

We picked this hotel for their sustainable credentials and we could see once there that they tried their best to follow a much more sustainable approach. The location is just unique and the views are stunning. We gad tent 14 and it was everything and more we could ask for. The room was really comfortable and the monkeys, lizards and racoons kept us entertained! I highly recommend the spa. The massage was great with views to go with it.

    Very run down.

    Very run down. We went passed the local prison 2 roads away from place we had originally booked. No trees,no green, just run down building with barb wires and high gates, corrugated iron....not nice, avoid.

    While the hotel and staff were lovely and helpful the common verandah didn't allow for much privacy. The hotel was also at least 5kms from the rest of the town with no shops or restaurants nearby, so a little isolated. But the beach just across the road was a bonus.

    Plenty of restaurants, activities to explore, etc. For me, It totally depends on your hotel. I’ve stayed in Puntarenas many times, but my trip this week to Hotel Puntarenas Beach was, sadly, my worst hotel experience in Puntarenas.

    Nice city, you feel quiet safe, only at the beach and i the city a lot of agressiv beggers and seems like the police dont care, told they are not locals, but from the countries around Costa Rica, for the rest its a great place, easy to drive around in the region and see everything in max 3 hours drive away, locals drive nice, even the trucks.So will go back again

    Puntarenas is only worth the visit if you're gonna take the ferry boat to the islands next to it. The beaches are not great, full of trash, plastic , i guess because of the location and the currents? Not a lot to see or do. Not impressed.

    Friendly town with lots of friendly people. Great spot to visit the smaller islands and their virgin beaches. Please visit the light house area and Isla Cocos restaurant. The fresh seafood is excellent and the staff wonderful.

    During my stay I felt at absolute peace. The property is in a secluded place where you can hear ara macaws, congos, parakeets and wind chimes, that's all. If you want to enjoy nature, this is the place you should go. You can also visit many beautiful beaches and national parks on one-day trips, the location is strategic.

    The property has all the essentials of a hotel without the price of a hotel. The place is within walking distance from the beach. We booked a tour within the property to go to Isla Tortuga, which was very good value for the price. The staff from Puntarenas Bed & Coffee are very customer oriented, helpful and friendly!

    THIS IS ACTUALLY A REVIEW FOR PUNTARENAS BACKPACKERS, they moved me because there was no wifi in my room when i specifically asked for it. The room before i moved though was pretty dismal, musty and not really a hotel, just some rooms around some plants and some hammocks. Bed was comfy Good wifi Close to beach

    Location was great! My room had a huge balcony with the beach and ocean right in front of me. Plus, perfect for people watching. Restaurant/bar with great drinks and great food. Included breakfast also very good. Small pool area was very relaxing, quiet. VERY clean hotel. Staff very polite, friendly too!

    This is not a nice hotel. It consist of an open inner court which is the pool, surrounded by two storeys of rather small rooms, all leading to this pool. No privacy, no nothing. Almost as in a prison. Two storeys, but elevator. Good thing is the closed parking. Breakfast kind of OK.

    Staying here was the best possible decision I could have made for my time in Puntarenas. The location was minutes to the beach and the hosts could not have been more helpful and supportive going so far as to drop me off for my bus. Highly recommended!!!

    I liked the beach right outside of the hotel, although it did rain a lot in our stay and we weren’t able to go outside much. The workers there were also very friendly, and helped us with a taxi ride the next morning.

    We have family in the Barranca area and have stayed here before. We really enjoy the oasis of calm in the middle of the Roble area of Puntarenas. The pool is beautiful and the grounds are well-kept.

    Easy bed for the night in Puntarenas - still smelled like wet paint in early 2023. Shared bathrooms, good AC. La Perla del Pacifico at the end of the street is an awesome place to spend time.
