Great location - right on the beach and an easy walk to restaurants, etc. Our room was comfortable and clean, and had a balcony with view of ocean. Great restaurant - Roberto's - on the premises. Food and menu selections were very good for both breakfast and dinner. One of my favorite parts of this hotel was all the varied spaces where one could sit outdoors: at the restaurant right on the beach (or up under cover out of the sun); on the upper level where there was a small pool and a great view of the sunset over the water; and at least one area on each floor with a couple of chairs/ loveseat/ coffee table. Highly recommend!
Set amidst a tropical garden and offering an outdoor pool and an à la carte restaurant, Villa del Sueño is located in quiet Playa Hermosa beach in Papagayo Gulf. Free WiFi access is available.

A fabulous ensemble of musicians with a female vocalist were playing Santana on stage in the outdoor dining area our first night there and it was FANTASTIC. The breakfast is complimentary and has a range of items to order from bagels to crepes to Tico, always with fresh fruit. The dining staff is wonderful. The swimming pools are deluxe. We had a little balcony where we could observe and listen to birds and occasionally the howler monkeys. We walked to the beach every morning and evening (about 5 minutes) for sunrise and sunset. It is a long stretch of beach used by local families and you can always find shade in the early morning. Our room was so spacious, a firm yet comfortable mattress, air conditioned, small kitchen area, clothes closet with hangers, and a large bathroom area. Towels and linens were very nice. There is a safe in the room.
Featuring a hot tub, swimming pool, garden and free Wi-Fi in all areas, Hotel & Villas Huetares is located 200 metres from Playa Hermosa Beach and 15 minutes’ drive from Cocos Beach.

Great location to start your trip to Costa Rica, it's 30min away from Liberia. The hotel has a good restaurant right next door and a small store right after. Less than 10 minutes away from the beach.
The room wasn't anything special, but as shown. Nice pool area though.

Quick walk to the beach. Monkeys were out in the trees. Cabin is cute and has outdoor kitchen. Nothing fancy but has all you need for a cozy beach spot.

Pretty beach...and waves ...I would have preferred calmer sea. The jet skis come in too close to the shore and are hardly ecological.
The fish restaurant on the beach is really good.. lovely staff and very fresh food at reasonable prices

The beach was a little disappointing.
The beach was a little disappointing. The access to the beach was piled with trash bags and recycling that needed collected. The concrete tables were in disrepair. Old tire laying on one of the broken benches.
The dinner and show at Villa del Sueno was great!

Really loved this calm, friendly beach.
Really loved this calm, friendly beach. The water was calm for swimming and lovely to look at. There are four nice open air restaurants facing it, we liked all of them, although Aqua Sport played very loud music at times, when the sound of waves and birds would have been much nicer.

Playa Hermosa is a wonderful, small area with a fantastic, calm, sandy beach and a front row seat for the beautiful sunsets. We stayed here for our last night in Costa Rica since it's only a short drive to the Liberia airport. I would suggest spending 1 or 2 nights here at the start or end of your vacation. It's a nice alternative to staying at the airport hotel and it's very easy and quick to get to the airport by rental care or transfer (25-35 minutes depending on traffic). Just make sure that you chose the correct Playa Hermosa, there is more than one in Costa Rica!

The beach surroundings looked a little burnt out, very dry, not as lush and green as compared to the beaches down by Manuel Antonio or Uvita, Costa Rica. Please note that we did visit here during the dry season.
An overnight stay after an evening arrival flight to Liberia airport. Hotel is conveniently located on the beach about 30 minutes’ drive from the airport. Hotel was quiet with only a few guests. Plenty of secured convenient parking. Very comfortable, clean and well-appointed quiet room with separate sitting area, outdoor patio with large bathroom and comfortable bed. Breakfast was wonderful, regional foods, served in the quiet exterior dining courtyard poolside. The staff were all welcoming, friendly and very helpful.
Lots of space in the 2 bedroom apartment for the 3 of us - my husband, sister and myself. Very clean with nice bathroom with a great shower.15 minute walk to 2 areas of Playa Hermosa beach. Great balcony with a forest across a busy road so saw many birds there. Very good air-conditioning which made the apartment very comfortable as it was hot while we were there- 32-36C during the day.
Staff were friendly and very helpful. Good supermarket underneath.
The property is beautiful, with lots of plants and flowers and very close to Playa Hermosa (max 8 minutes walking). We enjoyed staying there for 3 nights. The kitchen was well equipped. The room very comfortable including the bed. We could swim/stay at the swimming pool and play a pool in the little house that was at the propery. All in all, I was very happy to choose Moon Shadow and we would stay there again without any hesitation.
Very well maintained property, friendly and helpful staff, quick access to the beach via shuttle (special thanks from the 2.5 year old traveller). The beach (Playa Hermosa) is picturesque and clean, all the facilities are right there.
Overall a great choice for a family vacation.
The hotel is perfectly located in front of the beach with services on the beach and chairs. The staff are very nice and kind. We sleep very well, the soundproof is good : nothing has disturbed our sleep. The A/C works perfect and we not missed hot water!
Wonderful hotel right on the beach. Excellent staff- good service, very clean. Food was good. Great ocean view from the restaurant. A cooling breeze the two days we were there. So glad we came and hope to come again.
The hotel is a beach front property. Playa Hermosa is quieter, less touristy than other beaches. The beach is very clean, and the water is clear. The hotel pool on the roof has one of the best views of the bay.
The hosts are amazing...kind and generous. Had breakfast basic in the fridge on arrival and was gifted a lovely lasagna dinner in the middle of the week. Joanie even brought me into Playa del Coco one day.
Location was very convenient and walking distance to a very nice and beautiful beach, called Playa Hermosa. Staff was very nice and helpful, and the included breakfast was delicious with multiple options
The location is the hotel's main forte and attraction. It is set right on the quiet southern side of Playa Hermosa. The staff in the restaurant and front desk are attentive and pleasant.
Overall, this was the perfect place for us to stay in order to enjoy Playa Hermosa and the surrounding area. The hotel's location was great and we enjoyed our brief stay there.
GREAT BEACH VIEW AND ACCESS. NICE CHAIRS ON THE BEACH. NICE POOL, WELL KEPT PROPERTY, FELT SAFE. LOTS OF GREAT STAFF WILLING TO HELP OUT ALL THE TIME. GREAT MASSAGES.
The owners and staff were so friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was excellent! The pool was great to come back and cool off in after a hot day on the beach.
