This trip was a quick four day trip to Costa Rica. I just wanted a clean room on the beach. It was very economically priced. The room was clean and spacious. This is not the normal resort or hotel I would stay in but it was excellent for what I was looking for on this trip. I usually stay at nicer much more expensive, all inclusive resorts where its a mile to the food, or beach. This one is right on the beach. About a 15 minute walk or $4 Uber ride to town. That allowed for us to sample the local food and drinks off-property. There's a pool which I didn't use. There's an on-site restaurant/bar. The staff is amazing. No frowns and everyone was super helpful. I know a little Spanish and some of the team knows a little English. Most of them speak English. Freddy and Angel at the bar were very attentive and helpful. I didnt see the inflated prices some guests complained of at the bar. Service was excellent. Freddy brought us chairs and drinks to the beach. Angel checked on us for drink orders. Sunsets here are amazing!

While the proximity to the beach was as advertised, the hotel and pool portion of the cafe were run down and not inline with our expectations for the price. There were loud workers talking outside our door at 4am, the construction next door wafter fire smoke into the room and onto the property at night and in the morning. Giant 4" spider found in the bathroom.

The hotel was beautiful, i would book here again

Café de Playa was absolutely amazing. The property was beautiful, clean, and well cared for, and the staff went above and beyond to make my experience special. Everyone was so kind, helpful, and welcoming — it truly felt like they wanted to take care of me and make sure I had the best trip possible. They gave wonderful recommendations, made everything feel easy, and added so much to my Costa Rica experience. I’m so grateful for their hospitality and I look forward to going back!

We booked a room with a beach view. There are no room in facility that will give you beach view.

Rooms good , food and drinks are expensive

Incredible location, staff, food and rooms. Will be coming back as soon as i can.

Pros: Location Cons: No reception area. Had to walk around and find staff member to check us in. Bar extremely expensive. I was charged $30USD for a rum and coke. The bed was comfortable enough. Ok place to stay for a night or two.

Had the best time at this beachside hotel. Very quaint with only a handful of rooms that are all steps to the ocean. The food was fabulous and the area was safe and walkable to other fabulous restaurants. Coco was our favourite beach, calm waves, beautiful sandy swimmable ocean! And best of all no one trying to sell you crap on the beach! Very walkable beach, we loved everything

Big clean room, huge bathroom, right on the beach, nice bar fridge to keep things cold. Friendly staff. Was noisy with the blaring of bass and music til 1:30 am but not sure where it was coming from and it was Saturday night).

Location was perfect however the quality of the premises was not good. We don’t expect a 5 star experience for this price but this hotel could certainly use upgrades. Shower and hot water was very hit and miss, some showers had near zero water pressure. Just overall a very tired property with seemingly no reinvestment into it

If there was less than one star I would have given it a Zero. Expedia should remove this place as an option to stay. It's basically a Cafe with some rooms for rent. The place does not look like the pictures and the staff was the rudest I encountered in my 10 days in Costa Rica. There was no hot water and crabs were in the shower. As guests we ordered drinks from the bar and after 40 mins we still did not get our drinks even after inquiring about them several times. We book the room for two nights but decided to leave a day early because of the conditions and the most unfriendly staff. Expedia should take this off their Web site. No Bueno Zero Stars Avoid this Place

Older, not well equipped room- no chair no hot water nowhere to set suitcases - staff was excellent with what they had to work with - pleasant therapy cat was a bonus

Great for a room on the beach, really great food, and good restaurant service when not busy. Room was okay. Coffee is really excellent in your room! Like really, really good. Bathroom had lights out, was a little rough and could use some light reno for the rate. Initially, I was concerned about the room bejng so close to the pool and restaurant but they shutdown around 9pm, so it's really great. Hearing the waves at night is really peaceful, and overall really like the place. Server, Marisol, was very sweet, and her colleague is very professional. The restaurant manager does a good job inviting people in and filling the restaurant. However, the 2 servers do get a little stretched thin when the restaurant fills at dinner. Food is delicious in Costa Rica. Here was no exception: tuna tartar was top notch, and burger was exceptional although very thick and hard to handle 😂 Overall worth the price, will return!

Cute little hotel but there was no hot water.

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was so friendly and helpful!

Simple place but clean and comfortable room in a lovely setting. Recommended.

The room was basic needs. No hair dryer or conditioner for instance. One of the staff members was amazing and brought me one from her house.! The area around doesn’t look that great. However, once you enter the gate, you feel in a cozy yard the fact that is on the beach with a beach café is awesome. You have the best access.

The staff is very friendly, the rooms are really clean and the food was delicious. Water pressure is amazing here in the showers. The beach is right out front which is a bonus and there is a path that you can walk to town on right from the hotel.

They didn't have any record of our reservation when we arrived. No real information provided. Wifi didn't work. The restaurant was okay but very overpriced. Also the listing indicated they had an airport shuttle but they do not which was they main reason we stayed there.
