Cantón Parrita accommodation from NZ$197

Lovely hotel great ocean views. Excellent food. Saw lots of animals and birds in grounds. Staff were very cheerful and professional

Great hotel. Immaculate room, great choice at breakfast, pools were lovely and the bar staff and selection were great. Views over the trees to the coast were exceptional and great for spotting toucans and passing monkeys. Hotel is on a steep hill and golf buggy lifts up and down are available if mobility is a challenge. We had a great massage in the spa and the desk for tours ecetera was really helpful. On site restaurant is good. The main village is a taxi ride away for more choice. (Steep road and no pavement make walking a bad choice). We LOVED being so close to the small beach (which dissapears at high tide!). Gorgeous walk down, beautiful small sandy beach and warm waters for swimming. We were in a an 'interior' view room (for budget reasons) which felt quite overlooked by the road and the shop, so pay a bit more for privacy. There was also no comfy seating in the room (no room with the two double beds) . A more expensive room would probably have better seating options - especially those with balconies.

The room was excellent. Loved that every cabin had a little porch on the front on which the guests could relax. I came to the beach resort to finally have some days without hiking or exploring and it was perfect for getting away from the crowds that exist elsewhere in Costa Rica. It felt like the beach was private. There enough other guests there to keep any lonely vibes away but it was so peaceful. You can hear the constant sound of waves from the beachfront rooms and it's amazing. Very nice place especially for a good price.
