Beautiful hotel with lots of wildlife but still remains very clean. Staff was wonderful- super friendly and attentive. Room was nice and housekeepers were amazing. We loved the pool but it’s on the smaller side and we would have liked if there were more flat pool lounge chairs. Food was good overall but pretty pricey. Massages were great! We would definitely come back

This was such a great place, the views and staff were amazing! It was awesome staying right off the beach. The beach was beautiful and not overcrowded. We could walk down the beach to different restaurants. We caught a sail boat ride that picked us up from the beach. The hotel staff coordinated it all. Would definitely go back to this hotel!!

This hotel was very unique and we are so glad that we opted for the oceanfront room. It was quiet (aside from the kids at the pool) and we saw monkeys, birds and iguanas right on the property. Would definitely stay here again.

Planned this vacation for our honeymoon and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. They always made sure we comfortable and accommodated properly without us having to ask, especially Shay. The environment was beautiful and so many amazing views, we were immersed in so much nature and enjoyed experiences such a tropical vibe. We had a massage to end the trip and it felt amazing and was very reasonable priced. The excursions we did were amazing as we were able to experience more of the beauty of Costa Rica. First international location I've been to that I plan to visit again. We've decided to come back for our 10 year anniversary.

A wonderful small resort on the beach. Service was impeccable and the restaurant food was excellent. The beach is really nice and there are plenty of lounge chairs for guests. The pool is small but lovely. On the whole, understated but luxurious. Highly recommended for those looking for a quieter beach experience.

Couldn’t recommend Hotel Bosque del Mar enough if you’re looking for a more private, quiet style of stay. It’s the perfect mix of jungle and beach access. The beach is beautiful, clean, and feels very private. One of the coolest parts of staying here was the wildlife — howler monkeys hanging out in the trees, iguanas everywhere, and the whole atmosphere truly feels like you’re staying right in the jungle while still being steps from the beach. The service here is truly exceptional. From beachside service, poolside service, and room service to helping arrange transportation and activities, the staff goes above and beyond to make your stay stress-free and relaxing. They also offer rental kayaks and paddle boards, which made the experience even more fun and convenient. Everyone here — from the front desk staff to maintenance — was incredibly polite, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. Carlos was especially excellent: attentive, kind, professional, and always willing to help with anything we needed. He truly made our experience even better. The property is extremely well kept and maintained daily. The food was delicious, especially the breakfast (which says a lot because I’m a huge breakfast foodie). The rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed with a relaxing aesthetic. Pure tranquility from start to finish. We’ll absolutely be staying here again!
