2.4 km from Playa Lagarto

"We weren't prepared for how remote this property is and the extended rainy season made it even more so with very poor road conditions. Be sure to stock up on EVERYTHING you'll need before going up there as a trip to any store or restaurant will be lengthy. We had to leave after staying only one of our two nights as we just didn't have enough food. There is a restaurant on the property which would have been a complete game changer but it wasn't open during our visit in mid-November. The times...

Top Playa Lagarto Hotel Reviews

Mundo Milo Eco Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay near the beach. The breakfast is the morning is spectacular and the owners are super helpful and friendly."

JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"Property was very clean, and staff were very friendly. We had a great view of the ocean from our room. We did have an intruder (Racoon) enter our room through the balcony door and open the bar fridge and stole a bag of peanuts. We learned that we needed to keep our balcony door locked and not just closed! However, we will definitely go back! Food and drinks are a little pricey!"

Cafe Playa Negra

10/10 Excellent

"Property was very chic. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Enjoyed our stay from start to finish. Will return again!"

Cocobolo Beach Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We very much enjoyed our stay at Cocobolo. Easy access to the water, watched the monkeys play in the trees from our deck, and it was quiet and low key. They did not have breakfast on site but there are other options close by."

Azul Hotel & Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"We stay here often, very peaceful and love the gym and pool."

Mikado Natural Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent time at the Mikado. It was our first time to Costa Rica and it was probably one of our best holidays. Such a fun adventure. Lolo was an excellent host and if you do stay you must take advantage of her dinners. Incredibly romantic. The location is perfect. Quick drives to Tamarindo, Playa Avellanas and Playa Conchal. Great places to explore and then return to the peace and tranquility of the lodge. Absolutely perfect. "

Bohemian Luxury Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were very comfortable (best sleep we had on our trip to Costa Rica) and we loved the pool, the beach, the sunsets, and the star gazing at night. We were there with our family. It is a bit remote so good idea to bring games and snacks if traveling with kids. The restaurant on the premise is expensive but serves creative dishes by a Michelin star chef using local ingredients."

Georgi, Junquillal

10/10 Excellent

"Kindest staff ever! We loved our stay here. "
