We stayed at ballena rey hotel for 2 nights. It is the best hotel we have ever stayed at during our trip in Costa Rica. WiFi and parking are free, and this hotel also features a beatifull swimming pool with a waterfall. Gilberto is an amazing and lovely host. He is really helpful and funny. We needed to do our laundry and he arranged to do it without any problems. We are highly grateful for that. The apartment is brand new and has modern design and the matress is really comfortable... we slept very well. It is totally worth it! We highly recommend it if you want to stay at modern and clean place and be surrounded also by lovely people.

Main thing for us was the Dutch couple who managed the Hotel, super friendly, knowledgeable, made you feel so relaxed and went that extra mile to make the hotel experience even better but it was also the entire setup that appealed to us, the fact that staying here you was contributing towards helping local children, the style of the hotel was like nothing else we had come across, the main building where reception/restaurant was so open, great views but so stylish with local arts dotted everywhere and beautiful local plants to make you feel relaxed, we loved the rooms set-up , just simple but stylish with a very eco orientated thought put into it and of course the view across Monteverde, the fact that the trees cut down where the plot was for the hotel, all the wood was recycled back into the building and it's furniture, finally the Breakfast, one if not the best we had on our entire Costa Rica journey, an original style dish of beans & rice, with other options which my wife & kid thoroughly enjoyed, washed down with fresh coffee & juices, also it was a short easy journey into town. The couple also helped us with the day to day excursions, sorting out & contacting the places, helping with travel if needed, just made it that much easier to have a great few days in Monteverde recommending what to do and the layout/distance to the places we chose to indulge in, highly recommend this place as not just a place to stay but a total experience to enter into

Amazing view over the mountains and sea from our bed. Waking up to this view was truly special. We received a free upgrade from a jungle-view room to a mountain-view room. The room was very clean and modern, with high-quality materials. The staff—especially our host Enzo—were extremely helpful and always striving to ensure we had the best possible experience. The hotel offers many on-site activities, from ziplining to jungle night walks. We took the Nature Reserve tour, and our guide José was fantastic. During the tour, we spotted three sloths, monkeys, macaws, and toucans.

This hotel is brand new and located right across the street from a beautiful beach and nearby restaurants. The staff were beyond helpful, and really went out of their way to make me feel at home. The pool is beautiful and the room was comfortable and had very cold AC. Seems like a far better deal than some other properties in the area that are much more run down and more costly. I would ABSOLUTELY stay here again.

The Gulf of Nicoya is one of the Jewels of Costa Rica. A paradise where you can do all kinds of water activities. The island itself captures you from the moment you arrive and makes you never want to return from where you came from. We are Booking Genious travelers and I can openly say that this amazing place is a 10 out of 10. The rooms have a million dollar view.

The buffet breakfast is excellent. The standard room is small, but the beds are comfortable. It is a 10 minute walk to the main pool. We walked from Playa Manta to Playa Blanca. Beautiful beach good for swimming and snorkeling..Nice restaurant there and picnic tables. Great for birding and wildlife at the resort.

The apartment was spotlessly clean, the staff was very kind and attentive, the location is good - not in the center of the city, so you don't hear the noise in night, but close enough to beach, so you can walk. The pool is very good maintained and not very crowded. The small pool at the balcony was an extra plus.

A trip to Monteverde is one of the big ticks on the list for visitors to Costa Rica. Getting there is quite hard going on dreadful roads. Not ideal for anyone with any back or joint problems. It is a wet area so expect downpours and to feel damp at all times even when it is dry outside. The main reason to visit is to see the cloud forests and for zip lining, otherwise there isn’t much else to do in the area. Other attractions such as Ranali frog pond, the butterfly garden are poor and not worth the time or money. I stayed for 3 days and it was too long. My favourite thing overall was seeing the hummingbirds at Monteverde cloud forest - not in the forest itself, but in a cafe area just before the entrance to the cloud forest!

I go there to do dental work at Crystal Dental, as their prices are 2-3 times cheaper than in the USA and the quality is better, they speak English and have German equipment. I do not care about touristy stuff, I did it on my first visit many years ago. You can take buses for daytrips. Tours with agencies are very expensive and geared for young athletic people. I wish there was a sightseeing tour for the whole day on a bus to take pictures without any hiking or horse-riding.

This is basically a cruse ship harbor and not much to do in low season. A few bars and stores open. A lot of tour is not given due to no crusie ship arriving in this time of the year. Also, extreme weather resultet in that most tours from Puntarenas was cancelled. If you are planning a vaccation, you should choose another city such as Jaco or Uvita. Very easy to take a 2-3 hour bus shuttle from San Jose, terminal 7-10 for a few dollars.

Puerto Jiménez served as a rest-over before going to, and when coming from a trip to Corcovado Nat'l Park. We were able to take and ride bikes from the hotel to restaurants and to look around (the walkway to the pier was torn up so we had to go the long way around and the bikes came in super handy). The staff was friendly and could answer all our questions.
