Can't say enough good about the location, staff, vibe, facilities, and of course, the owners! We stayed 6 nights in the 3 bedroom villa as a group of friends, and then a couple of us came back for a few nights prior to leaving for Canada again. The grounds are lush and green, everyone is super friendly and eager to help with any needs/questions you may have. I personally have been in the area many times and I must say this is the best one! It is a true gem in the middle of Surfside, and we will be back in the near future!
This charming beachfront hotel is located on Playa Potrero on the scenic Pacific Coast. It offers a spa with massage and beauty treatments and an indoor and outdoor pool with hot tub.

Really pleasant stay, gorgeous location on the beach to enjoy beautiful sunsets, reception staff charming and swim up bar staff great. A few of the breakfast team sometimes looked as though they'd rather be elsewhere and a few bits of maintenance could be improved (planters half way up stairs untended, a bit of flaky paint) but generally a very nice option for a decent price

We loved our visit to this little oasis, the hosts were kind and helpful. The location was great and walkable to the beach and restaurants. Make sure you book in one of their new cabins as they were gorgeous, monkeys, wildlife and the resident pig entertained us. Highly recommended to anyone who wants quiet and calm accommodations with easy day trips. We found a secluded beach just a 5 minute drive north of Potrero. Overall our best accommodation in Costa Rica, will recommended.

They've done a wonderful job with this property! This was our 8th accommodation on this trip to Costa Rica, and it had the best of all worlds. Quiet enough to feel remote, but connected to groceries, gas, and services in town. Fantastic A/C in the common space and both bedrooms. A thorough cleaning job, enough towels for a family of 4 (including pool towels), and a very well-equipped kitchen. The owners were so kind to accommodate early check-in so that our young daughters could get settled; they even brought them a high chair and kids' chairs, which they adored! The view from the pool is gorgeous and we appreciated the little outdoor gym, too. We watched the cleaning team wipe down outdoor railings and dust off loungers. They're clearly taking pride in keeping this place up. We would definitely stay again!

Relaxing small beach community with a residential vibe.
Relaxing small beach community with a residential vibe. I prefer Portreo as a base - more than Tamarindo. Amazing local food options, fresh 🍉 produce at the market. The Esmeralda Villas are a place where you can read, unwind and enjoy lush gardens in peace. Then we took day trips to sail, surf, zip line etc. great place if you’re not interested in night clubs. Serene, healthy nature in a small town.

Playa Potrero is the 'middle' beach between 5 local beaches...
Playa Potrero is the 'middle' beach between 5 local beaches in a row and only a few minutes of each other. Each beach is different and has different amenities available. I recommend Playa Penga for those who want a beautiful beach with few people. Playa Danta is also great but a few minutes farther away, also with few people. Potrero has nearby resorts and several nice restaurants, depending on your tastes and budget. Highly recommend the area around Potrero as you can choose the beach that suits you best!

Potrero is a gem of a small beach town.
Potrero is a gem of a small beach town. Locals are friendly, helpful and genuinely welcoming. El Castillo has amazing food and staff. Hemingway’s is a wonderful spot to watch the pelicans and sunset. The staff there is amazing as well. I will be back!

Small town feel but with everything you need within walking...
Small town feel but with everything you need within walking distance: restaurants (great food) pharmacy; bakery; grocery; liquor store; beach activity rentals; long beach for walking and couple restaurants along beach. Not touristy - felt immersed in local community. Short drive to many other beaches and restaurants and adventure activities. It’s a perfect home base.

One of my favorite places to visit in Costa Rica.
One of my favorite places to visit in Costa Rica. I'd recommend a hotel on the outskirts of the village, but transportation is a bit of an issue. Loads of construction currently taking place. I hope it doesn't destroy the laid back authenticity of the countryside/
Small quaint brand new boutique hotel. We had a wonderful experience all around. Beautiful grounds. Rooms were tastefully done. Beds comfortable
DJ the owner was friendly and was very attentive as were all the staff.
There is a restaurant with full bar on site that makes great brick oven pizza and other local fare . It gets lively at night which is fun.. The staff are great there too.
The town authentic Costa Rica. Not overrun by tourists in any sense. We felt very safe at night while walking to the area bars, restaurants and beach.
The room was so large & gorgeous! the saltwater pool was warm & perfect! The hosts, Daniel & Charlotte were warm & friendly! It is modern & spotless & every detail has been thought of...the bathroom was enormous & well appointed! the private outdoor deck was larger than most decks in the US with lounges, table & chairs, a beautiful outdoor kitchen! it was one of the very nicest places we've stayed in during our 12 weeks in Costa Rica!! We will be back!!!
The 2 pools were large and a comfortable temperature, with plenty of shallow areas. Our kids spent hours playing in them! Our room was on the small size, but adequate as a short-stay hotel room, and very private. Breakfast was wonderful, with the option of typical or continental breakfasts. The staff were all friendly and very helpful!
It was our first vacation in Costa Rica. Staying in Potrero was especially beautiful. At the La Quebrada Eco Lodge we loved to spend time at the pool, walk the short Distance to breathtaking beaches. We enjoyed the quiet surroundings and friendliness of our hosts Carmen and Kristian enormously. Everything was exceptionally great.
This sweet boutique eco-lodge was a perfect end to our travels in Costa Rica. The owners are adorable and so interested in making sure you love your stay.
The rooms were spotless and the decor simple and very inviting. We loved every aspect of the design and layout , especially the private, outdoor kitchen and sitting area.
It is so beautiful. The grounds are beautifully maintained without being fussy. The bars and bar staff were excellent and there were plenty of spots to just hang out and enjoy the view of the water. Being on the beachfront was wonderful.
The entire staff is great. Location is great. We have been in Potrero/Flamingo area for 9 years this is our favorite vacation spot since they made upgrades a couple of years ago. If you are on vacation to relax you don't need a car.
The swimming poll was great and the condo is very beautiful. They have a security gate and free parking lots. Emiliano provided beach chairs for us and was helpful. The air conditioning is very good and the beds were also good.
Very clean room with great air conditioning and all the amenities you would expect from a nice hotel or Airbnb. Complimentary drinking water in the room. The pool was very clean and the staff was wonderful and very helpful.
I love how the property had a lot of privacy. The staff was not as helpful when it came to doing activities. The hotel does not offer activities, you have to do everything on your own when it comes to book activities.
Lovely property, very well kept, nice room with bathroom and kitchen, very clean. great little pool in peaceful gardens. we loved it, great to relax and very close to beach and restaurants. would highly recommend.
Great value for the money. Got more than I expected for the price. There is a bar and restaurant on the property and lots of sodas nearby. Close to the beach and near by the towns of Flamingo, Coco and Tamarindo.
Very calm, well maintained, very good hotel manager. It was perfect for our needs. The apartment was a good size and right in front of the pool. The lush plants gave an extra sense of privacy.
The condo is pretty nice in a very good location, surrounded by nature, a big pool for afternoon. Near Playa Penca 400m, walking distance to Playa Potrero. By car to Playa Danta and Dantita.
the shower was warm and good.
this hotel has 2 swimming pools.
We arrived before check-in time, this wasn’t a issue for them. close by the quiet beach.
bed is comfortable.
Calm place, very practical location and close to nice beaches (Dantas, Prieta). Super cool to have AC in both rooms and the kitchen. Good restaurants nearby.
