"This hotel is so beautiful!! We went hiking in the middle of the forest, then had lunch at a local restaurant and had dinner at the hotel’s restaurant and it was perfect! Breakfast is always delicious and the staff is great! Definitely going back!"

I was in CR for 7 nights - my best stay and value was at Hotel del Sur. I couldn't find the place upon my arrival - thank goodness Stephanie at the front desk spoke great English and was able to guide me to the hotel. I came to learn all of the front desk staff spoke good English actually. Not only did Stephanie help me find the place, but she was super friendly and accomodating regardless of my late hour arrival. I'll definitely be staying here again on my next visit.

The beach was amazing! The cabins are very private and comfortable. There are monkeys and toucans on site. The staff was fantastic. So friendly! We got a flat tire and they pointed it out to us and immediately changed it for us...in the dark! Exceptional service! Highly recommended! We will be back!

Beautiful, beautiful grounds and setting with so many birds and feeders
right there and a beautiful mountain river flowing through. We saw the
Quetzal's on four occasions. Exceptional buffet breakfasts, too!

Kurà and its people are remarkable. It is difficult to be brief; we had a very rich experience.
Room/Architecture: The ocean view is indeed the paramount feature of all six rooms, and the wildlife—mostly beautiful birds—is right there outside your balcony. Beautiful design and architecture as well.
Food: Delicious. As a vegetarian, I wanted more days to try all the options, and my carnivore husband was equally well served.
Staff: Exceptionally skilled, wonderful people. All efforts to...

My boyfriend and I just got back from the most romantic long weekend at RP imaginable.
Friends in San Jose have been recommending it for years - and now we know why.
The food, ambiance and service are second to none - certainly in CR.
The staff is super friendly and accommodating - but professional as well. We already miss the care they gave us.
Perhaps what stands out most (beside the view, natural beauty and exquisite design) is the fresh sushi created and served by master sushi chef...

My family and I stayed at the Cristal Ballena for 3 nights at it was absolutely lovely. The hotel grounds are considerably large and extremely well-manicured. There are a variety of flowers, fruit trees and other shrubbery making our early morning hikes through the property incredibly pleasurable. The best part was the enchanting river we discovered. You would probably love to spend a couple hours in the beautiful, big pool overlooking the ocean. It's really refreshing compared to the intense...

Absolutely epic view. Incredible accommodations and very friendly staff. We had a very short stay and wish we could have been there longer. Highly recommend. The only challenge is the treacherous drive up/down the mountain. It is not paved and very rocky. You’ll need a 4x4 vehicle.

This property is very relaxed and welcoming. The staff are highly attentive and really take care of you while you are on site. The addition of the animal sanctuary makes it a very eco-friendly destination.
We stayed for one week during which the surrounding jungle and wildlife were the stars of the show.

700 meter unpaved road shouldn't dissuade you from this oasis.Everything about it was great; staff warm and helpful, rooms are clean and worth double the price; great food at the restaurant.

A beautiful resort hidden on a winding dirt road atop a hill set among the trees and wildlife with an exceptional view of the Pacific Ocean below. This resort recently opened to the public in January 2024. Upon arrival we were immediately relaxed and at peace, secure in the knowledge that we’d booked a great spot to enjoy Costa Rica. It’s a bed and breakfast style in the sense that breakfast was included each day. Our room was spacious and modern with a luxurious bed facing out toward nature and...
