Pranamar, your hospitality and attention to detail makes you the best place I've ever stayed at. With the delicious meals, massage, incredible pool and partnership with Del Mar Surf, I have nothing but great things to say. Thank you for making this one of the best trips I've ever been on. I will be returning, no doubt.

Hello Friends, Once again, how do I thank you for taking the time to share your good impressions of Pranamar? There are two ways a hotel owner feels honored: when guests appreciate the little details (as you did) and when they say "Will be back!" Well, we will welcome you with open arms! Thank you so much!

My husband and I just enjoyed a wonderful eight days at Pranamar at the end of our honeymoon. From the beautifully designed and decorated villas, to the friendly and helpful staff, to the fresh and delicious food, this was one of the most enjoyable places I've ever stayed.

We received the best service, beautiful accomodations, and fabulous food. Pranamar is such a special place. The staff are above and beyond helpful and friendly. The food at Buddha Eyes is delicious and healthy. The grounds are heavenly. We stayed at one of the ocean front villas. I can't recommend this highly enough!

It is a very nice hotel and a great location. The staff was always friendly and very helpful, but the real treat was the restraunt! When we arrived the hotel was not full so they gave us a free upgrade to the ocean front villa.

Dear guests, So glad you enjoyed the upgrade and that you really loved our food. Honestly, it has taken us some time to really get the restaurant consistently good....the first year was hard. But we have 3 chefs: one is from Venezuela, one is from Argentina and one is from Italy. They all bring some fun ideas to the menu... More

We chose this location after many hours on trip advisor and google looking at all our options of where to go for our honeymoon.

Let's start with the good: The place is very pretty, with particular emphasis on the way the villas are built by the side of the pool. This is very eye catching and definitely enjoyable. The key fundamental flaw is value for money. This has been my most expensive lodging in Costa Rica up to date (having stayed in equivalent 4... More
