Fredrick, the manager and his team were friendly, helpful and responsive. The apartment is large with a wrap-around balcony, which was perfect for enjoying a drink and cigar without bothering anyone. The property is up a private road and is super quiet. The beds were comfortable, there was always hot water, and the AC was excellent.

    It’s a quiet and relaxing area to visit.

    It’s a quiet and relaxing area to visit. It’s very hot and very sunny and there’s not much shade on the beach. Be prepared to go through the sunscreen. The beach is clean, the sand is soft and white and the ocean is a spectacularly blue. The surf can be quite rough and it can be difficult to swim, so use caution.

    The beach was beautiful.

    The beach was beautiful. There weren't many seashells so this isn't a place for shelling, but they won't be crashing into shore and cutting up your feet either. Our kids played in the water for hours. The sunsets were amazing.

    This is a beautiful facility with unbelievable views of the coastline! Close to many good restaurants and beaches. We had a rental car, but could have used the shuttle service more or rented a golf cart.

    Idyllic white sand beach with turquoise water, perfect for swimming and boogie boarding. Sunsets are incredible! Coco Locos on the beach has the most delicious hot lava cooked tenderloin that can be ordered as a part of the surf and turf or without the lobster (but avoid eating here when a heavy rain due to sewer smell). Stay in luxury at The Palms Villas for top-notch service and beachfront perfection—well worth the price! Check out Monday Moonlight Market in Flamingo.

    Playa Flamingo is a friendly and easy going area with good food options, a beautiful beach and amazing views. It is not too buzzy with tourist attractions which we very much liked about the area. The new marina area is very nice. There are a number of lovely shops, a new restaurant not quite opened and a bank. There are a couple of upscale hotels going up next to the marina. I hope the area can maintain it's small town charm which we found to be perfect for our vacation spot. We opted not to rent a car or golf cart (which is popular) and found the small town to be totally walkable and from town it is just a short walk to the beach. The fine sandy beach is gorgeous and not crowded and the water is amazing with just enough surf to enjoy but still be able to swim comfortably. All in all Playa Flamingo is a lovely, relatively quiet beach area that we highly recommend!

    Surfside Mar Y Posa was an awesome stay. The location was nice and quiet, and the rooms were super spacious and comfortable. WiFi was nice a quick as well. Susan was a great host who provided us with an awesome booklet on things to do and good restaurants in the area. Thank you Susan :) ! The location was close to a handful of restaurants in the area as well as the beach. If you have a car, there are a bunch more great beaches that are a quick drive away (Conchal was amazing and our clear favourite during our whole stay in Costa Rica).

    This was my second visit to this beautiful small hotel in Potrero Beach and for sure I will be back again. The room was spotless clean and the bed was big and comfortable. The hostess, Susan, is really nice and she will make sure everything will go by the book. The location is excellent and the neighbourhood really safe. This hotel is located just 5 min away (walking distance) from the beach. On the other hand, Flamingo beach (one of my favourites) is just 5 min away by car. Excellent place to stay to enjoy Potrero and Flamingo

    This is an exceptional hotel in every way. The views, the room, the facilities are all incredible. even with a private pool on our terrace overlooking the bay we still used the main pool sometimes, it’s just stunning. but what outshines even the perfection of the surroundings is the staff. They manage to mix a casual familiarity with the utmost professionalism and they’re all just lovely people. They went above and beyond on numerous occasions, just a brilliant stay and we can’t wait to come back

    This 3 bedroom condo was picture perfect! Great location, where we snorkel right on from the beach! Saw sea turtles, small fish and crabs! My family had a great time here, our host was very responsive with all that we needed! We didn’t see a bottle opener in the kitchen and she right away brought us one! Lively place and food value!

    Very clean well kept small hotel just a short walk to the beach. The breakfasts were wonderful-cereal, fresh fruit, yogurt, juice, coffee, and beautiful pastries. The shared kitchen was nice to have to make small snacks, reheat restaurant leftovers and keep drinks. Chilled water and ice was complimentary.

    There was no breakfast. And the nearby restaurant that had a breakfast was closed. The on site restaurant was very expensive and only had pastries and croisants . The marina is in very close proximity to the hotel. And the fishing was excellent. The pool was nice and security was good

    Very fine hotel with a very kind host, they lived as a family in the same spot which was nice and we felt very welcome. The location was close to supermarked and a bit far from everything else so you might need a car. All in all a good stay and friendly host.
