Pictures dont do this place justice. Everyone was super professional and kind. The beach view room was amazing. There was a family of monkeys hanging out, and an iguana on a limb that was literally the size of a komodo dragon, no joke! Walking distance to many other beachside bars. At night the beach has thousands of hermit crabs so walk light. Will stay here again, no disappointments.

Beautiful property right on Playa Hermosa. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Our room was clean, spacious and a lovely view of the greenery surrounding the hotel and pool. There was some construction noise but we were there during the off season so not surprising. The hot tub was cool one evening but much warmer another. The area felt safe and calm. Expedia offered a 20% discount on a tour but the hotel only offered it for kayak/paddleboard rentals, a bit disappointing but the stay was otherwise fantastic. I would definitely return!

Our stay at Hotel Bosque del Mar was pure relaxation from start to finish. The grounds and facilities are spotless, surrounded by lush tropical greenery that makes you feel completely immersed in nature. Everything — from the rooms to the pool area — was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The staff were incredible: friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a genuine smile. They made us feel welcome the moment we arrived and added such a personal touch to our stay. We especially loved spending time in the pool and hot tub, which were both pristine and perfectly placed for soaking up the peaceful surroundings. Each morning, we woke to the sounds of howler monkeys echoing through the trees — an unforgettable reminder that we were in the heart of Costa Rica. If you’re looking for a quiet, scenic escape with wonderful service and a touch of adventure, Hotel Bosque del Mar is the perfect choice. We can’t wait to come back!

Crabs on the floor tainted our stay

We greatly appreciate the staff allowing us to check in early and getting us our room early. This was a big highlight of our stay and we are grateful. We were able to enjoy the beach and pool while waiting for our room! We unfortunately had 4 crabs in our room. We made sure doors were sealed, curtains etc were sealed off so I’m not sure how they got into the room or where they were coming from. It was hard to fall back asleep after encountering two of them in the middle of the night in the living/bathroom area after we checked for certain at bedtime that there were no more in the room. It also made us uncomfortable having our little one in the baby crib so close to the floor, and I didn’t sleep well as I kept checking for them (and kept finding more). Keep your luggage and items off the floor. The hotel is steps to the beach and the beach has very small waves and is good for little ones. Also has amazing sunsets. Many locals came here (their entrance is about 20m south), so you can visit with locals who come to this beach to relax and play their music. There were many vendors walking by trying to sell stuff which was a nuisance after a while. Noise: we were a lower room and the sound from above us was noticed, and specifically when people were walking up the stairs it sounded like very loud thunder so wanted to mention that if anybody is sensitive to noise. Also the floor to ceiling windows offered little privacy, so we had to keep our curtains closed the whole time.

The whole vacation experience was top notch from start to finish. Incredible attention and compassion destroyed by all staff. I would absolutely return to stay again. So Accommodating and friendly. Food was delicious. Happy hour was convenient. Not too many vendors on the public beach (no private beaches in Costa Rica). Could not have asked for a better experience!
Spider monkeys seen on site. Howler monkeys heard at night but not loud at all
