We started our Costa Rica/Nicaragua vacation at the Pato Loco Inn in Playas del Coco, Costa Rica. Mary and Richie have a great location (about a 5 minute walk to the town and beach, and close to several supermarkets.) Mary is great responding to emails for booking rooms and providing transportation to and from Liberia airport. Thanks Ray! The rooms... More

We were between hotels and remembered some good reviews from friends for this cute hotel, so we found it and grabbed a room for the night. We were welcomed with open arms and made to feel like one of the gang after we settled into our room. We met some awesome people there, especially Mary and Richie, the owners. It... More

Pato Loco Inn is a small cosy inn. Mary and Richie are very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is that the inn is a little piece of paradise. The breakfasts and lunches taste great. One rainy day, Mary brought out a 1000 piece puzzle for a group of us to do. Everyone was welcome to work on it. One guest... More

We took our honeymoon in Costa Rica and had decided to play the trip by ear, planning on bouncing around to different hotels. After hanging out with the Pato Loco crew, we decided to stay there for the whole week. Mary Ramona & her husband Richie treated us like family! We loved our room and the food was excellent. We...

In my last week at Costa Rica I stayed at the Pat Loco Inn. As I arrived at Playas del Coco, somebody asked me where I stayed. I told the man and he directly called Mary to tell her that her guest is comming in. That's the way it goes. From the moment I set foot at this lovely hotel... More

From the moment that I arrived, Mary has made me felt right at home. She immediately offered me a cold drink knowing that I would arrive exhausted (It was a 5 hour ride from La Fortuna), and that is just the kind of sweet, kind-hearted person she is. Pato Loco is kind of like a local hang out place, and... More

A friend of ours recommended us to stay at the Pato Loco after meeting Mary Ramona and Richie during her stay in Playa del Coco. We spent over 2 weeks at the Pato Loco in August 2010 and I can say from the minute we arrived we felt at home. The atmosphere was relaxed, comfortable, & laid back. It took... More

We flew in to the Liberia airport and made a reservation at Pato Loco because we wanted a place easy to get to without driving far in the dark the first night. Ended up really glad we did. Turns out our reservation with the car rental company didn't actually mean we got a car that night (be aware that they... More

We have been staying with Mary Ramona and Richie at Hotel Pato Loco for years. My girlfriend and I even met there! It is a nice comfortable hotel that treats you like family. The prices are good, the breakfast is the best in town, and you are a good distance from all the action. Not too close and not too... More
