Boutique hotel vacation rentals in Puntarenas Province

Very good service from everyone, and too nice the place would go again.

This place was perfect for what we needed, the hosts were great and the breakfast was amazing :)

The place seemed lovely, very neat, just as indicated in the photos. The hostess welcomed us very well, the premises were clean and beautiful. The apartment had all the amenities we occupied. Highly recommended. From us very grateful to the host and we hope to return in the near future.

The place is awesome! It’s got a great vide, love the pool, and it’s a short walk to the beach. The room is super clean, and comfortable. The place has a great laid back vibe. Ryan is an awesome host! He’s a big surfer and has a bunch of surfboards to rent at a great rate. He also has a quad to rent too. He’s super responsive with anything I need. A lot of the people have come back year after year here. And I am definitely coming back next year! I couldn’t recommended enough.

We had the best 7 nights here. The location is great, just off the main road so it felt secluded yet only 5 minutes to all the restaurants. All the staff, Oli and Emilie were so nice and helpful. Our room was large and had everything we needed. We recommend having their breakfast, it’s great value and good! We felt relaxed throughout, and there is a nice social area by the pool where me made friends with other guests. A nice community feel. We honestly loved it and would like to come again and bring friends. We also adored Emma, their wonderful calm dog ha!

El Manglar is the perfect and best place to stay in Playa Grande. The staff is friendly, the rooms are clean, the location is ideal, and the price is affordable. I love that this is a place owned and run by Ticos. It’s nice to stay at the beach in Costa Rica where the guests aren’t just tourists, but also nacionales. Gracias por todo!

Good place and its location is better than thought, recommended.

Thank you so much! was a great stay. we enjoyed your place more than Santa Teresa. Wish we stayed there longer 🙂

1000/10! I can’t wait to come and stay again! Wow. Wow. Wow!! Great location. Amazing amenities! Seriously can’t speak highly enough about this beautiful sanctuary.

Super cute, top breakfast and fireflies 🩵

Amazing views . Only Stayed for a night but it was so peaceful and relaxing . Looks just like the pictures - pool was great . Sunset was beautiful . A little food place down the block had some good meals. We enjoyed our stay

Very nice place to stay with kitchen, great bathroom, nice pool and terrace. The place is not so accessible yet and therefore less busy, even on the beach which is beautiful! Overall, it's a very warm climate in Avellanas. But overall very nice and Justin is a great host! I would definitely come back!!!

Cute little surf hotel. Walking distance to beach. Lovely amenities like the common areas with board games and complimentary coffee. Friendly staff.

The place is beautiful and very relaxing! Very good treatment of all the people who took care of us

Everything was great and Stephan was amazing.

Pros: Very clean. Daily housekeeping. Good AC. Screens on windows for fresh air but no bugs. Friendly staff. Quiet. Coffee maker and decent coffee grounds provided. Located within 3 minute walk to Civichera Hellen (great ceviche at very reasonable price) and small grocery with fresh fruits (avocado, mango, banana, etc.) Cons: No signage - difficult to find. Gate to parking lot a little tricky to open/close the first time. Only three spots in parking lot. Very tight if there are three cars.

Everything is super good, the place is very nice just like the photos and comfortable

Excellent place, all according to the photos, extremely cozy and quiet. It has everything you need to rest and relax.

Good place to rest, the beds are very comfortable and the A/C perfect, Alexia was very friendly and we felt very welcome.

I really enjoyed the stay at this place, the soda next door, it's very good and they close late

Well worth the money. Nice breakfast for a low price

Very nice, clean room. Feels like home and comfortable. Really good accomondation for some days. Thanks!

Very clean, private, safe place. The room was beautiful. The only issue we encountered was finding the place. The address provided took us to a completely different location. The people there told us this happens often. After going to the right location, the gate passcode didn't work so we thought that location was also wrong. This was a late last minute booking for us so we understand the host not being available in the middle of the night, but just make sure you are going to the right place - maybe google the Ark Apart hotel to be sure.
