Yes, the whole once a day to the beach and once a day back puts you on their schedule, renting a car might help. There isn't... More

The food was awesome and the stay was great. my only issue was the large number of bugs in the room but i guess that is unavoidable in such climates. The staff is great and helpful and the kiteboarding was very good, lots of wind.

The hostel has nice and clean rooms and a very friendly staff. The dorms are a little bit to small but have their own bathroom. The only thing we missed was a community kitchen. But they have a restaurant there. The walking-distance to the beach is about 20 minutes but the hostel offers a shuttle twice a day. The town... More

If you are around Playa Rajada, Jobo, Manzanillo, Isla Bolanos, Salinas Bay, this is the place to stay and to eat. It is charm, I think it could be a good word to describe, because all around is the dry forrest of the northern Guanacaste, and this little hotel is strategic to get into and out to the beaches.

Stayed here for about a week to kitesurf. Yes it is remote, but not as remote as other kite spots that are no way as good as this one. Yes, the wind can be gusty, but it is consistent and safe. The hotel was great value as far as Costa Rica goes and its relative remoteness. Food was excellent with... More

Where to begin... The new rooms are very nice, but booked up early, so I stayed in the older rooms. Basic but clean. The service at the restaurant was hopeless at best. The pizza on the wood fire oven was spectacular. I would not bother eating here on any other night. The prepared lunch you can get for the beach... More

We got wind almost every day and it was "off-season". Another off season perk was to watch the whales while kiting! Amazing! I was super impressed with the Blue Dream Resort. It's perfect for kitesurfers! The rooms were nice and clean, the food was excellent (every day), the atmosphere friendly and relaxed. The kitesurf instruction classes were super helpful. Nicola...

Hotel is kind of cozy, staff is nice but It is in the middle of nowhere... And the people that say that it is a "perfect kite spot" has probably never been to a decent kite spot.... Yes it is very windy during windy season, but extremely gusty and no waves, dark water and stingrays... Go to brazil, Peru, Dominican... More
