Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection

Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at Kura Boutique Hotel was unforgettable and one of the best hospitality experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and completely relaxed. A huge thank you to Hazel at the front desk, who went above and beyond every day. She warmly greeted us after excursions, coordinated drivers, and even arranged packed breakfasts for our early departures — such a thoughtful touch that reflects the level of care at Kura. Marlon, one of the hotel drivers, also made a lasting impression. Every ride up and down the mountain was enjoyable thanks to his friendly personality and local knowledge. We loved hearing his stories and recommendations about Costa Rica and the surrounding area. William, our waiter and bartender, was equally wonderful. He constantly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed and loved pointing out local birds and wildlife around the property, which made the experience even more special. The hotel itself is stunning. The rooms are luxurious and comfortable, and the ocean view overlooking Whale’s Tail was breathtaking. One of our favorite memories was relaxing in the hammock each morning while listening to toucans in the trees. The meals were outstanding, and the spa was peaceful, spotless, and deeply relaxing. Kura is more than just a beautiful luxury hotel — it’s the people who make it unforgettable. We left feeling cared for, refreshed, and already wanting to return."
