“Great place”
The accommodation is very stylish and nice, the restaurant offers very tasty food, and what’s great is that very kind staff work here. The beach is truly authentic and beautiful. Earplugs might be usefull, as loud trucks drive all around Costa Rica.

“Fantastic location, quaint boutique hotel, but it needs some improvements.”
The location is outstanding - right on the beach. The restaurant/bar is spacious, clean and full of natural light. Complimentary breakfast was fine, although the menu choices are limited. Staff is friendly and helpful. Restaurants and various souvenir shops are nearby.

“Great location on Playa Hermosa”
We hadnt had any recomendations but wanted our final days in Costa Rica to be on the beach and within a resonable distance to the airport but away from Jaco Playa Hermosa was perfect! Great Beach and a bit more lively than other parts we had visited We were lucky to arrive on a Saturday for the weekly surf competition Vida Hermosa only had 3 rooms but they were perfect and its right on the beach

“Amazing”
It was amazing! The personnel was friendly and generous, the place was clean, had good wifi and good AC and the beach/restaurant/vibe was amazing. The waves were nice and big and the restaurant was really good. To cap it all out, the view from the hotel was mind blowing.

“Rooms are good enough for the cheap price point. Location is stunning. Service and breakfast was atrocious.”
Stunning and convenient location by the beach. Rooms are functional but fairly basic (though for the reasonable price, nothing to complain about).

“Sad to find out it was a bar/restaurant with 3 after thought rooms up front. This is not a hotel!”
The breakfast was Okay. The first 2 mornings we could get anything on the ONE column of the menu. On the last morning, no, only 2 choices and if we wanted anything else, we would have to pay the difference. Interestingly, most of the menu was within 1000 crons of each other, but we could only choose the 2 cheapest things on the menu?? The "options" advertised on Booking.com, were only if you payed the difference. The rest of the menu and food was very good.

Amazing setting right on the beach....close to road but look the other way and it's fantastic! We saw whales breaching and great place to sit and watch the surf. Food great.Staff were ok but not overtly friendly.like the usual lovely people of costa rica...the manager was away so maybe they are the welcoming person. Overall enjoyed it.
