Beautiful Surroundings with Pristine Beach Access
Hotel Bosque del Mar is an immaculately maintained small/medium-sized property that sits right on the beach in Playa Hermosa. The staff here were very friendly and provided lots of information for us before and during our trip, anytime we requested it. They even helped us book a 1/2 day snorkeling excursion that picked us up directly from our hotel. The room was very spacious - it included an aesthetically pleasing sitting/family room separate from the bedroom area and the bathroom was large as well. The bed linens were very cozy, but the beds themselves we a bit hard. We found a few small bugs in the room from time to time, but no infestation and this was not bothersome considering the location of the hotel is within a forested patch along the beach! The section of beach that is right in front of the hotel provides shade and lounge chairs with cushions. There is access to the restaurant/bar available by hotel staff members who check in periodically. The breakfast service (not included) was very well priced and had plentiful options. On Sunday, the breakfast service is a buffet with eggs to order and live music - we enjoyed it thoroughly. We did not find the dinner service to be as good of a value, but did enjoy the quality of service and food that we purchased. Parking is secure and easy to access, just right across a road that is not busy.

Not 4 Stars, Disappointing
This is a 3 star hotel pretending to be 4 stars. Room cleanliness was below average. Dusty corners, filthy area rug in entry room, moldy spots around AC. Bathroom smelled like sewage when door was closed (no ventilation in bathroom). Bathtub is outdoors and we tried to use it in our last night…drain plug no working and wouldn’t fill. Unsafe door lock, you’d shut the door and then realize it wasn’t actually latched. I told front desk to fix it multiple times and they smiled and nodded and then didn’t. For the first 24 hours we had no hot water. I had to ask front desk three times to fix it. They never checked in with me, apologized or really seemed to care. Last night of our stay was New Years Eve. Got a call from front desk saying they were leaving at 10pm and no staff would be available all night long. Have you ever heard of a 4 star hotel that does that? Absurd. Then they had a DJ party with the speakers set up literally 6 feet from our patio. Went on til 7am. Would have been nice to know that we were going to have a full blast dance party before booked. Not cool. Don’t get me started on the restaurant. “Special Pancakes” consists of one 5 inch pancake for $15. The waiter said “because it’s special”. Some of the most expensive hotel food I’ve ever seen, rivals NYC hotels, just crazy. The good? Sheets and towels were clean, the grounds/pool are pretty, and the beach is awesome. But I can assure you I will not return here.

The room was very clean. The location was excellent. Our only gripe is that ground floor bedroom as soon as it got dark we had to close all the curtains because anybody walking by could look in. The living area had a big glass window next to the front door with no shade. Expensive restaurant. Could not ask for a better location

Stayed just one night before flying out of Liberia. Feels like a treehouse in the rainforest but directly beachfront on lovely Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste. Our beachfront room was clean, spacious and comfortable with refrigerator, coffee maker, indoor shower and private outdoor bath. Family of howler monkeys in the trees over the pool area were cool to see. Did not eat at the restaurant except for take out American style breakfast. Many restaurants a quick walk down the beach. Definitely would stay here again, especially for the beach and a quick ride to the airport.

Our room and view were beautiful. Property is nestled between residential homes. Beach is very nice, but not too clean. Lovely sunsets and food/drinks were fabulous. Every meal is served in an open air restaurant. Front desk was very helpful with everything. Hotel staff was always available to offer whatever you needed. Tip: Use Uber because hotel transportation is overpriced.
