Esh Hotel and Spa, a Member of Design Hotels

A must stay in Costa Rica! One of the most tranquil, romantic, and beautiful places we’ve ever stayed! The personal and small touches made all the difference! This is a boutique hotel where the staff all truly care for guests and one another. Valery, Fiorella, Issabella, and all the ESH staff were so lovely and welcoming. Danny, Francisco, Froylan, and all the staff at Almar were amazing, and the food and cocktails were terrific! The rooms are all private and have amazing amenities. It is close to Guiones and they offer shuttle service to all the local locations. Further, they provided many food and activity recommendations off site. Overall, it was the highlight of our trip, and will be recommending ESH to anyone who plans to travel to Costa Rica! Pure Vida!

I really enjoyed my stay here. The rooms and property are absolutely beautiful. The amenities are top notch and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is very good highly suggest the typical Costa Rican breakfast. My only note would be that I wouldn’t eat dinner there. It was overpriced for what you got. The tuna was poorly cooked and the octopus was chewy. I really enjoyed the burger, poke bowl, and mocktails they had. Overall it has a Michelin key for a reason and you will reach a level of relaxation you only hope to achieve at other hotels.

For the money, ESH is a great deal. Very upscale, quiet, and the entire staff will accommodate every need or request at all times. It’s not on the coast, but rather up the hill about 5 minutes from town and the beach. Town is a happening place whereas ESH is simply peaceful. Best of both worlds.

Amazing property, very clean, great staff
