Very close to the beach, a wide variety of restaurants and stores. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating throughout my week long stay. I feel like they went above and beyond to make sure I had a pleasant stay. Also, the chef cooked amazing vegetarian meals every day, especially for me.

Fantastic vibe! Huge open sided bar/restaurant area. The rooms are pirate themed! Travis was so helpful. We went on a night kayaking tour, saw loads of wildlife including some small crocs! You can also tour the islands with Travis on his boat. Great welcome and great value. A hidden gem.

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.

While the hotel and staff were lovely and helpful the common verandah didn't allow for much privacy. The hotel was also at least 5kms from the rest of the town with no shops or restaurants nearby, so a little isolated. But the beach just across the road was a bonus.

Plenty of restaurants, activities to explore, etc. For me, It totally depends on your hotel. I’ve stayed in Puntarenas many times, but my trip this week to Hotel Puntarenas Beach was, sadly, my worst hotel experience in Puntarenas.

I personally like supporting small Costa Rican businesses. This is a small hotel with a little restaurant. There is a small pool which was lovely and warm. You can sit outside your hotel room. We ate lunch and breakfast at the little restaurant. Both were very good. The breakfast it “tipico” scrambled eggs, gallo pinto, avacado and toast (yum for me). For lunch I had the nachos and my husband had chicken fingers. The hotel is cute and very well taken care of with lots of staff. The beach is right across the road.

The hotel and residences are in need of a lot of TLC, not worth the price. Plus: own marina so you can be picked up for Tortuga and other tours, spacious apartments. Iguanas roam around the property freely so you can enjoy the hotel pool with company :) Minus: shabby premises

There's a restaurant connected to the hotel. I like how quiet it was, I like that there's a terrace going around the whole hotel and that you can lie in the hammock, hear the river and look out on the ocean.
