Hotel Verde Mar is a small independently owned beach front hotel. It’s cute quaint and a bit rustic. Bed sheets are stiff but clean. The tile is old but cared for. We had a large group requiring 3 rooms. One day an air conditioning unit stopped working and the staff quickly moved us to a different room.
The kitchenette had 4 dinner plates, little plates, cups, forks, spoons, butter knives, one sharp knife and a little cutting board. In addition there was dish soap, a hand towel, toaster, microwave, coffee maker and mini fridge. All this was essential for a family trying to avoid eating at restaurants each meal. Local super markets were easy to find and walkable. Parking was not an issue and front desk staff was willing to help if it was. The little adjacent cafe was reasonably priced with a mixture of Costa Rican and American food. Monkeys and lizards loiter about the place. The proximity to the beach was priceless and away from the main strip. Our 7 kids used the beach and pool daily. They had great fun exploring the beaches with shells and live sand dollars, coves full of crabs, and jungle wildlife.
I would definitely recommend this place for families that are not looking to spend a ton of money/couples who are OK with a little more rustic stay with everything you need for a great experience. If you want a room like the Hilton, look elsewhere.
