Cottages in Cantón Hojancha

"This was likely the best place I stayed during this trip to COsta Rica. Beautiful rooms, beautiful view. Comfortable bed, clean bathrooms and nice pools. I also saw a few coati , monkeys and birds. I guess that the main negatives would be that when I went on the hike in the forest around the property, there was this section with wooden posts across water that was a little difficult to cross and I may have gotten a little lost and there was a barking dog by itself on the trail which could have been bad if it was more aggressive, but it ran away. Also, I got lost going to the beach. However, all these things (including the unpaved drive to the place) could be seen as part of the Costa Rica experience (wild jungles, etc. Overall, I liked the place. Also, the food was extremely delicious."

"We had an amazing stay! The house is absolutely beautiful as pictured! We loved the indoor/outdoor feel with the large sliders opening up to the outside living area, pool and full views of the Pacific. All bedrooms are air conditioned for comfortable sleep. We had plenty of room for our family of 8 and it was an ideal setup. Each bedroom has its own bathroom attached for privacy. The owner thought of every detail to make your stay comfortable. Sonia does her job well and is there to make your stay easy and is available to cook and clean. We ordered 2 evening meals prepared by Sonia and they were the best food we ate in Costa Rica. Breakfasts were plentiful and timely. All these details you can arrange with Sonia upon arrival. We owned an VRBO so we are familiar with how to run one and this is top notch and we would recommend it! Please know you should have 4 wheel drive for a vehicle as the road to get to the house has gravel and has some hills. Loved our stay! 5 stars!"

"The pool was beautiful, and central to all the rooms. We loved hearing the monkeys, cicadas and birds all day and night. We really felt like we were in the jungle, yet also bear all the action. Rooms were clean and staff were very friendly and helpful. Loved our stay!"

"Employees were amazing and super helpful. It was great to have a small kitchenette in the room. Sunrise Cafe across the road was fantastic. We have two kids - so something to keep in mind - the walk into the main area can be about 30-40 minutes in the heat (bring lots of water)."

"The food all was good, the staff was friendly and welcoming… the room was always cool and well maintained during our stay…"

"Overall my wife and I made the best of it and enjoyed; however we will never return to this resort. The good was really the staff. They work very long shifts - you might see the breakfast server as the bartender in the evening. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. Now the bad…We saw on the site that there was construction at a neighboring resort; however they start early and work until late. The construction could be heard all day long - even during the massage with music on. To add insult to injury - they began construction in a room 2 doors down from us last few days we were there. It was so loud we couldn’t even hear the tv so we spent last few days outside our room which was fine with us as we like to be outdoors but returning to the room was miserable. Our last night, we finally asked to switch rooms. The client services manager said would have to ask general manager. All they did was not respond until the work day was finished so they could say oh no need work is finished. Would have been an easy fix - just another room for 1 night and half day but they chose to handle in poor service manner. The rainfall shower head sprayed in all directions due to the water mineral deposits blocking. The walk to the rental car is completely dark, trees and bushes etc were not well maintained. After the construction was complete - we could hear rodents on the roof all night - wife had to turn on soothing sounds to drown em out."

"Very clean and quiet "

"Staff was very friendly and helpful. Hotels beach was not really kid friendly, or even adult friendly. (at least not for me) There was no space to put our towels and beach accessories. We walked about 5 extra minutes to get to the other side of the beach, which was in front of another hotel and it was a little nicer there. There was a beach about 5 min away (by car), from the hotel (Playa Carillo), and it was BEAUTIFUL! Brian, the manager was so kind to give us a ride in his personal car because my daughters foot was injured and we couldn't walk there. There were some foods that we ordered that were subpar, but there were some foods that were absolutely delicious (the fish, burger, ceviche). I really enjoyed the fish !! The drinks (virgin, and alcoholic) were so refreshing and yummy. I loved every single one that they would make for me. The breakfast was okay. The French toast was yummy and the fruits were fresh and juicy. The staff was super accommodating and everything was pretty clean. If you ask me, id recommend that they get a gold cart or similar, to get to a from the beach on site. (but maybe I'm just lazy). Their shuttle service was punctual, and clean. The excursions are pretty close (about 5 to 10 min away), and they were amazing ! All in all , it was an awesome trip/stay. I would definitely go back."

"It was beautiful! The caretakers/chefs were fantastic! We hope to go back!"
