    Ximena is Hostess Extraordinaire. She made our every moment at the B&B superb. She is so much more than a hostess. She makes the place. We also loved being slightly removed from the exclusivity of the surrounding developing coastal communities to the north and south of Brasilito. Thank you so much Ximena!

    for cost of the room the plunge pool was not up to par, we had a room next to a couple & a baby that woke us up every morning by 6:00am!

    Management was super friendly and ready too help, close to small town & beach!

    We loved the convenient location, and everyone there could not have been nicer. Breakfast was delicious, and we so appreciate that they went out of their way to also make a breakfast for our 8 month old. The room was clean and quiet too! The hotel provided a tent and wagon for us to take what we needed down to the beach, and we had an absolute blast.

    A bit pricey for Costa Rica but still worth it.

    We enjoyed a lot our stay, the BnB is very nice and the breakfast with fresh fruit is fantastic! The location is great if you look for a less touristic spot. A bit difficult to get there without a car but there are a couple of restaurant at walking distance so you don't need to drive at night. A big plus is the proximity to playa conchal, so you skip the long line for parking.

    The curtains didn't block out sunlight in the morning but it genuinely didn't bother us

    Cute little B&B situated perfectly to explore the nearby beaches and restaurants. Breakfast was nice with fruit, toast and coffee. Room was spacious with a large comfy bed. Small pool and communal space were a nice addition. Huge thanks to the very friendly lady that runs the place who let us leave our luggage in a safe place and shower after we checked out. We felt welcome here and didn't want to leave!

    The breakfast was delicious! Fresh fruit, toast, and coffee was prepared every morning. Simena was very helpful! She helped us find a surfing lesson for us, provided restaurant recommendations, and created a happy environment. The bed and breakfast is clean, rustic, and walking distance to Brasilito and Playa Conchal. You can use the kitchen area as well to cook meals. The dogs are also super cute.

    High cost of dinner for 2 in local restaurants, $110-$150. Maria assisted us to grill meats to eat meals at the Quinta to reduce the cost of eating out. Staff trally supported our neefs.

    Well located, close to the spectacularly beautiful beach, superb staff, exceptional services, clean and comfortable room, use of the common area for relaxation, work and cooking meals. Very rrasonble cost/night. We will return again.

    Somewhat noisy location with dogs and cars, but accommodations are great. Brasalito Beach and town are not the greatest but close to others.

    Very nice room. Community area is great. You can prepare your own food if you want. Host was very nice and helpful.

    Cons: - Rooms are not soundproof (if the person next door or on a terrace is talking you can hear everything) - There is a safe in the wardrobe but I think it is useless since you can carry it around.

    We had a nice stay at Quinta Esencia. This is a small (new) private hotel, which has a lot to offer. Pros: - Big comfy beds (hard mattress but very comfy) - Breakfast was very nice - Communication with a host was great she will try to show you around and give you some tips. We were talking with her about diffusor and next day she gave us one for the night to try some new oils. - Parking is there for you car (inside a fence) - There is a small shared kitchen outside of the rooms - Dogs and Cats

    The only thing that was a bit tough was that the shower-head holder in my bathroom needed to be fixed/glued to stay in place. The fixture where you place the shower-head into the holder on the wall was not secure so once the shower head was placed back in the holder, it would tilt down and all the way back towards the wall. I had to get creative and roll up a washcloth to prop up behind the shower-head line so the shower-head would stay at a 60 degree angle, and it worked fine.

    One of the most wonderful trips ever!! Ximena made me feel like family!! She is an absolute gem and always made me laugh! When I had to leave, I actually cried the night before and also in the morning when I was leaving and hugging goodbye because I was going to miss everything - from Ximena greeting me with her delicious plates of fresh fruit each morning, sweet Ruby and Bella (dogs) keeping me company each evening out on the terrace, Botas the cat coming around to say hello, the rooster outside in the yard behind our rooms serving as my early-morning alarm clock a few times (that was actually funny!), and my favorite of all - the sweet little bird in the tree each morning singing, “Beeeeeeeeep!” ☺️ The property sits on a hill and the rooms (there are four) are built up in a treetop-style loft. There is a spacious outdoor community-style kitchen where you can cook your own meals if you’re on a budget or don’t feel like going out to eat every night. There is a supermarket and pharmacy right next door. There is a large terrace outside of the rooms with tables where you can sit, relax, enjoy breakfast, or read a book to unwind after a day at the beach. The rooms are spacious with a minibar and a wooden armoire to place your belongings. Beach towels are graciously provided. I absolutely loved this place! I did NOT want to leave - ever. Also, it’s a ten minute walk to Brasilito beach and a twenty minute walk to Playa Conchal, one of the most beautiful beaches you will ever visit. Ximena, muchas gracias por todo y te volveré a ver pronto, amiga mió!! ☺️☺️
