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.

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.

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.
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.
Fabulous location with gorgeous views from the room as well as from the pool and breakfast area. The lower jacuzzi in the forest area is absolutely lovely by day and night, a pleasure to bathe and socialise in the midst of nature. Breakfast was delicious and a good choice of possibilities. The hotel is near to restaurants, cafés and shops with a really good range of food and drink on offer. The room was calm, relaxing, comfortable and spacious with very necessary and effective airconditioning.
This was the best hotel we had in Costa Rica. The two ladies are so nice and friendly. They even made us a little tapas plate to make us feel extra welcome. The hotel is even MUCH better thank you expect from the pictures; the rooms are really big and very clean and good looking, a little Ibiza vibes. We booked this hotel for one night but we are going back in two days because we had just such a wonderfull time over here. Nearby the ferry to Paquera, just a 5 minute drive. EXCELLENT!!!!!
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.
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!

The suite was fully equipped with everything we needed
The hosts were amazing, great food recommendations
The pool and surroundings
3 min walk to the best sunsets on an uncrowded beach
Everything was amazing, best experience we could get on the area for our budget
Very beautiful, exciting and cosy Hostel/Hotel. Alejandro was sooo nice! He prepare awesome cocktails and gives you a great time at the Aldea Pura Vida. The food was tasty, the rooms were clean and the location is - well, the pacific ocean is across the street, so - perfect.
Excellent find if you ever need to stay in Punteranas! Wonderful hosts made our group feel welcome and comfortable from start to finish of our stay. In front of the hotel is the cleanest section of the beach you'll find anywhere in the area. Would highly recommend.
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.
Room is very clean with comfortable Air conditioning. Great delicious breakfast at a restaurant nearby. Private secure parking in the hotel. Great and friendly staff! Great rates. Recommend.
Location was perfect for the area, bar and restaurant were near by. We also took the ferry the following day as it was right next door. Hotel offer Hot shower, aircon, pool.
Very convenient location in Puntarenas. Super nice and helpful host. Very good value for money. Perfect for a one night stay if you need to take the ferry.
