Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa

Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa

8/10 Good
"Great staff, beautiful pool. Incredible food in the restaurant. But the elevator is broken (and apparently has been for months). Looks like they have no plans to fix it, since we noticed the staff storing cleaning supplies in it. We had to move to a first floor room (from the Nyuri Penthouse Suite) when my husband got into an accident in Costa Rica and could no longer use the stairs. Very disappointing that the management company doesn't consider this a priority."

Hotel El Manglar & Cantarana

Hotel El Manglar & Cantarana

8/10 Good
"Had difficulty in the beginning because the pool had slippery steps and my friend who was with me in my room, fell and bruised her back really bad. It was already hard for her to go up and downstairs and we were on the third floor. We asked to be moved to the bottom floor and we were told the rooms were booked. A few days later, my friend ran into one of the owners and told him about her fall and he immediately told the young lady to move us to the first floor so we wind up being in Suite No. 3. It was amazing much larger. We did pay $25 extra night which was understandable due to. We took up a larger room however she did fall down and there was no warning about slippery stairs near the back of the pool where the barstools are. And number two there’s barstools and no bar tender. Assume we would have drinks in the pool the access to the beach was excellent. Staff was excellent trying to help us out which would be Andy and Dylan. Body wash was empty the last few days it was not filled however we had our own that we bought at a store. But that should be definitely part of the cleaning staffs responsibility to check that every time they clean the rooms. There was a problem with ants but understand that we’re in the jungle. Toaster was not working in our room, but we used our neighbors who are our friends in number four. No hair dryer and bathroom. Beach access was awesome and beautiful sunset. Would stay there again."

"The hotel is beautiful. It has the most beautiful views. The staff was very professional. Three of them , Franklin, Glen and Carlos very very professional and helpful. My only complaint is that by the time I did the reservation , the two restaurants were working , but when we get there the Pampas was closed so that’s not fear. In my opinion The hotel must inform us about this. ."
