Perfect quick getaway. Room was clean, pool was relaxing, steps from the beach, and the staff were incredible! Chelsea can help you with whatever you need!

beautiful ocean view, close to restaurants, they use to have surfing competitions there.

It is apparent that the owner takes good care of the people and property. The front desk (Chelsie) went above and beyond to help schedule and navigate the area. The room and facilities were very clean. Highly recomended.

Very comfortable beds. The beach is not crowded, we enjoy the privacy. The grounds around the hotel are very well maintained. We could walk to a few restaurants and the food was great. Would stay there again. Highly recommend.

This was the first few days of our honeymoon and the suite was perfect!

The Backyard Hotel was a great stay — very safe (security monitored 24x7 with gates operated by security), on the beach (we slept to the sound of the waves!), and all activities picked us up from the hotel (we had multiple choices of activities and time options). Apart from the location, right on Hermosa Beach and multiple restaurants less than 5 mins walk away + Jaco downtown 10 mins drive away, Chelsea at the front desk and the rest of the hotel staff made our stay truly memorable!! We gave Chelsea the list of activities that we wanted to do (texted on WhatsApp) and Chelsea took care of everything, incl some additional activities that we decided on once we got there! Chelsea was extremely efficient in taking care of everything and had the various providers come to the hotel for pickup and drop-off. We didn’t need a rental car at all, and we made the most of every minute of our vacation! Overall I can’t say enough about the team and location of Backyard Hotel! If you’re looking for an easy, laid-back vacation by the beach where everything is taken care of by an efficient team, then this is the place! Highlight recommend!!

The hotel was clean and secure. The staff was super helpful navigating the language barrier and country. Chelsea and the other staff at the front desk made you feel welcome. The black sand beach is just a few steps from the hotel. The pool and grounds are clean and personal. I think all the rooms have an ocean view and balcony. The only thing I would say could help perfect the stay is a coffee maker( there is an expresso machine). The hotel is also close to major road. Our personal experience was amazing and we will be back.

The staff at this hotel were very professional and friendly. The hotel.is very secure. There are cameras and someone on duty at night time while you come in and out. This hotel is located right in front of beach. The grounds are very well taken care of. The room is basic but you have such a good view from the balcony and even laying in the bed. The only thing negative i would say is the water pressure in bathroom sink is low. And the air-condition return blew hot air towards the sitting area. Which made it uncomfortable to sit on.
