“Beautiful and quiet”

A beautiful property on the beach; it seemed every evening we had the spectacle of an amazing sunset, each one different from the last (brought back great sunset pics). This property is located in a quiet area with a few restaurants in walking distance, so if you are seeking a hubbub with lost of places to eat and shopping, you... More

“Fair value for location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2012

This hotel has a great location on the beach and nice gardens, but the rooms are somewhat dated. The jacuzzi did not function well so we gave up on it. Food was fair. Pool has a nice jacuzzi overlooking the grounds. We were there during red tide so the beach smelled horrible due to the dead fish. I have to... More

My second trip to Costa Rica I decided to stay here again since I had such a great experience the first time. They actually did some upgrading to the place and its still as nice as I remembered. The restaurant is better with more selection. The location is perfect - away from the busy Tamarindo but still close to smaller... More

“Wonderful stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2012

My husband and I spent the last 3 nights of our Costa Rican vacation here. We had a rental car and were able to program only "Potrera" into our GPS. Since there's only one road in/out of the area, we found the resort pretty easily on our route. The openness of the lobby provided a welcoming feel and we were... More

STAY AWAY!!! This is not only the worst hotel my wife and I stayed at during our recent trip to Costa Rica, it has to be the worst hotel we have ever stayed at period.

I have never felt more compelled to write a review after my stay at Bahia Del Sol. I left feeling disappointed and upset with the price I paid and the accommodation/ service I received. First off, in reference to first impressions, you don't get much of one here. The gentleman who carried my bags to my room barely said two... More

“Beauty on the beach!”

person found this review helpful

Couldn't have found a better place! Great staff that is always there to help! Top Notch service! 20 feet to the beach! Close to other beaches. Destination trips are close by, and the hotel staff will help make your plans. Wonderful place to relax, unwind, and have a refreshing drink on the beach.

I will make this review straight and to the point- LOCATION: The hotel is located at the end of a dirt road. Some people will note this as being desolate, whereas others will note it as tranquil and away from the hustle and bustle. It's your decision. However when the sun goes down, it is dark with the exception of... More
