Guacamaya Lodge, hotel in San José Pinilla

Offering an outdoor pool, tennis courts and massages services, Guacamaya Lodge is located in Paraíso, 9 minutes’ walk from Junquillal Beach. Free WiFi access is available in this lodge.

The location of the hotel was great, a little far from San Jose airport, so I would reccomend to land at Liberia airport, which is only a 90 minute drive. However, it was in a private area and very safe, with a 5 minute walk to the beach. Everything else was amazing and succeed and of my expectations.

Mundo Milo Eco Lodge, hotel in San José Pinilla

Surrounded by the jungle and offering a wooden restaurant, palapa roof bungalows and a swimming pool, Mundo Milo Eco Lodge is located 350 metres from Juquillal Beach.

The hosts were so friendly and helpful! They made my daughter and I feel like we were visiting old friends. The pool is stunning, the meals were tasty, and the tips of where to go and what to do were so helpful. They lent us snorkeling equipment so we could explore the tide pools - a real highlight! We had a pair of adorable owls watching over us at, and a family of monkeys came through. The beach is stunning and very private - no crowds or peddlers. Nearby beaches are great for swimming and snorkeling...it was a great spot to explore the region.

The place is really nice, quiet and pretty in the middle of nature. I read some comments that you need a 4x4 to get there but we had a normal car and it was totally fine. Road is ok :).

Latica Lodge, hotel in San José Pinilla

Located in Playa Negra, Latica Lodge features a garden and terrace. Both free WiFi and private parking are available at the hotel.

We were fascinated by the whole hotel complex. The rooms, reception and kitchen are designed with style and creativity. The pool is a perfect place to chill at any time of the day and kind of magic. There is a fireplace for the guests in front of the hotel which makes evenings even more cozy. The personal is very friendly. The neighborhood is a quiet one. There is a beach bar and several places to eat not far away from the hotel (20 - 30 min walk or 5 min to drive). The beach (playa negra) is not overrun and we like it due to its relaxed atmosphere.

Mikado Natural Lodge, hotel in San José Pinilla

Mikado Natural Lodge is located in Playa Avellana. With an outdoor swimming pool, the property also has a garden. At the hotel, each room includes a desk.

I had the most wonderful experience at this lodge. Everything is perfect, the bungalows are modern and clean, the bed is so comfortable, the bathroom is exceptional. I would sit and stare at the amazing view mountain and sea view from my bungalow most evenings. My bungalow even had a bed with a built in large flat screen TV that would retract in and out of the bed frame. The site also had a wonderful infinity pool, a bar and eating area where lovely breakfasts are being serviced. The lodge also has a hot tub hut with a relaxing hot tub. All in all a very peaceful and relaxing experience and its close enough to Tamarindo or another nearby beach that have a large variety of bars and restaurants with a vibrant atmosphere. Lolo who is the owner of the lodge provides a wonderful service and make sure you are happy and comfortable at all times and is always up for a fun chat :) The BEST news is that the road to the lodge has now been fixed so it is comfortably accessible for all cars! You cannot go wrong with this lovely piece of paradise.

    Nathalie & Yannick are AMAZING hosts. The breakfast they prepared was delicious. They had lots of local recommendations and even put us in touch with a turtle hatchery which led to us seeing over 40 baby turtles take their first steps into the ocean. It was truly once in a lifetime for us! The property is a beautiful jungle oasis, very well landscaped, and a great place to watch wildlife. The villas are modern, comfortable, and super ascetic.
