Excellent little hotel in Playa Potrero. The room was spotless clean and the air conditioner worked wonderfull! All restaurants, bars, supermarkets, pharmacies and tour companies are just two blocks away. Playa Flamingo is just 5 minutes away by car. The room was big and beautifully arranged. The owner (Susan) is a very nice lady and she is such an amazing hostess. I will definitively be back to this place.

Great facilities and Susan was helpful saw monkeys while there

Really friendly and welcoming host. Spotless room.

Just amazing. Went there with a friend and we both agreed it was one of the best spost we've ever been to. Susan is very nice and will give you all the information you need. You can see that the place is full of amazing details. There are a lot of extras for the guest's convenience like an extra set of towels, cups, books, amazingly fluffy towels in the room... The pool is very clean and super nice, also you can cook in the cute little kitchen. The room is spacious and very clean, the AC works perfectly. It is very quiet in the room, you cannot hear the neighbours. The wifi is over the top great, my friend had to give an online class and had even better wifi than at home - perfect for work. We were sad that we only booked the place for two nights and would 100% recommend!

Spoltlessly clean and very quiet

Susan was very cool. Had great insight on the surrounding area.

N/A

the property is amazing, very thoughtfully organized, detailed and created with soul

it is clean, stylish and human centric

Clean, comfortable, well appointed and Susan was very helpful in accommodating our needs beautiful place.

The poolside furniture can be improved.

Clean, relaxing and a great location to walk to the beaches and bars whilst still being quiet !

The rooms are in good condition and very clean. The manager, Susan, is very nice and went out of her way to be helpful to us. There was little she could do about the large group take-over. The location is very quite good—pretty quiet (unless other guests are noisy which they were during our stay!) but a short walk to restaurants and the beach.

This is not a full service hotel but more of an AirBnB-style self-serve situation (except just a room). There is no daily room servicing but the room was cleaned once during our one week stay, though, and we got fresh towels a couple of times. Also, there have been some changes worth noting. First and foremost I was looking forward to the amazing breakfast that older reviews rave about but this place has changed owners and there is no breakfast served! Another fairly significant change is that the 3 bd.rm. house on the property (and it’s not a large lot!) is no longer occupied by the owner or manager but is rented out. The pool is the size of a small home pool and there are 8 chairs—clearly designed to accommodate the four original rental rooms—but there are now potentially several more people using the space and it’s just too small. Unfortunately when we arrived there were two couples in the house who were later joined by three more couples (two in the individual rooms) and they took over the pool completely, talking loudly and playing music. They made no efforts to be friendly or make room for us—very irritating. This is not directly the fault of the owner/manager and I’m sure that some of the people who rent the house are more friendly and considerate, but this group impacted us a lot and disrupted the otherwise peaceful setting.

We booked it last minute for an overnight stay and it was perfect! The room is nice and spacious with a comfortable king bed. They have a hot shower, a nice pool, and facilities like a small shared kitchen and bbq to use. It's a 5/10 min walk to the beach.

Nothing really

Susan is an awesome host. We felt highly welcome! Our luggage got delayed at the airport so she even helped us out with spare clothes. The rooms are lovely! I can highly recommend this place. A car could be useful though, to be able to visit different places.

Perfect. Susan is fantastic!! Short walk to beach. Lovely, great place with good energy. Would go again. Gorgious room. Superb!!

Nothing.

Amazing Property!

A small place with only 4 rooms (and a house). The rooms were very nice! Comfortable soft beds. Comfortable pillows. Safe. Fridge with complementary 2 water bottles. Big bathroom with plenty of hot water. Nice pool. Lovely surroundings with animal visitors in the form of a hummingbird and a group of monkeys to our delight! We would absolutely come back!

It was a bit of a walk to the beach. Totally OK for our teens but maybe not for younger children.

Beautiful big rooms and great pool area, super quiet and relaxing.

N/A

This was a peaceful oasis that was perfect for our two night stay by the beach - 10 minutes walk to Playa Potrero, a short cab ride to Flamingo (we managed to get Ubers no problem). Very good supermarket, great brewery/taproom and excellent cafe (The Shack) all very nearby. We didn't have a car but never felt we needed one. Susan was a very welcoming and laid back host, the pool was very welcome in the hot weather and the room was sparkling clean and beautifully put together with all the little details considered. Thanks for a great stay.

There was really nothing I disliked, but I would say that perhaps it could be clearer how to 'check in' when you arrive as we weren't sure if anybody was on site (it turned out they were!). I also thought bathroom bins could be emptied daily due to not being able to flush toilet paper (standard in CR), although appreciate that they don't like to come into rooms without permission and I feel certain this is something I could have requested had I known as Susan was such a flexible host. Maybe something to ask guests on check-in?

Surfside Mar Y Posa was an awesome stay. The location was nice and quiet, and the rooms were super spacious and comfortable. WiFi was nice a quick as well. Susan was a great host who provided us with an awesome booklet on things to do and good restaurants in the area. Thank you Susan :) ! The location was close to a handful of restaurants in the area as well as the beach. If you have a car, there are a bunch more great beaches that are a quick drive away (Conchal was amazing and our clear favourite during our whole stay in Costa Rica).

When you first arrive at the property, it isn't super apparent where to check-in as the gate is locked, and there are no signs to tell you how to check-in/doorbell to get anyone's attention to do so. Once in, everything went smoothly, but improving the process on check-in would help in reducing confusion on what to do when you first arrive.

The room was lovely and the garden was incredible! We saw toucans, hummingbirds and coatis coming and going while we swam in the pool and hung out in the hammocks.

The food places in the immediately surrounding area are quite pricey and not very Costa Rican, but when we walked into the older part of Portrero we found cheaper and nicer places.

Very nicely laid out . Very quiet . Off season . good location.

all good

What a fantastic property! Super clean and spacious with all the amenities.

Not one thing.

clean, the host was amazing

It was a excellent value, very clean, spacious and had everything we needed. Also, the host was excellent with communication.

The location is listed as Playa Flamingo, however it is really the next town over in Potrero. Potrero is better for restaurants and boat trips but the beach is much nicer in Playa Flamingo, so it depends what your there for.
