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/
La Quebrada was gorgeous, comfortable, and the pool was fabulous. The owner was very accomodating when we needed to change the rooming situation to fit our needs. The place is impeccably clean and the individual casitas superbly comfortable with quality beds and fun private outdoor showers. The best part: the small village within an easy walking distance is what Costa Rica used to be years ago. And the birdlife - getting up early, making coffee (provided) and listening & seeing the birds was a treat.
Playa Penca was close by and is a very nice, not so busy beach. Playa Potrero is also not far to walk to. There were a couple grocery stores and restaurants close by. The pool is only several steps from the villa's door, but there is still plenty of privacy. Many places at and around the villa to sit and relax in the shade. The villa was comfortable, quiet and provided everything that we needed.
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!
Attentive, helpful staff. Good vibe in the pool/lounge and bar area. Cute, clean, well maintained. Glamping tents each have their own private bathroom. Couple blocks from the main street, so it’s quiet and peaceful. About 8 minutes walk to the beach. This is a great stay in Potrero if you’re looking for glamping.
We loved Hotel Bahia Esmeralda! The gardens, pool, and close proximity to the beach make this property ideal for families. My favorite part was enjoying coffees on the front stoop and relaxing in the hammocks. We enjoyed a spectacular sunset at nearby Playa Penca. A beautiful place.
Had a family room good layout for the 5 of us. It was quiet hotel and area. A short walk to the beach. Had all the amenities for us to stay the week. Was not busy we had the place to ourselves. About a 1 minute walk to the beach Less than a 10 min walk town via the beach.
This is truly a hidden gem in the charming town of Potrero. Carmen and Christian are gracious hosts and have dreamed up a beautiful property complete with spacious rooms (with AC), small kitchen, lounge area and a pool. Only a 5-10 min walk from the beach and restaurants.
Many thanks to Laura and her team for making sure every guest is satisfied. The staff at the restaurant and beach service are great too, food delicious! Also thanks to Marcela at the spa, her treatments are highly recommendable and she uses natural products of Costa Rica.
The pool was a really nice size, the beds were comfortable, the rooms were cool and we enjoyed using the barbeque. The staff were really helpful and the location is great - near Brasilito, which is walking distance from Playa Conchal, as well as other pretty beaches.
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.
We have rarely seen a better built house in Costa Rica. The hosts are amazingly friendly and feel like friends by the time you leave. The bed is comfy and the location is great.
