Hotel Bosque del Mar Playa Hermosa, hotel in Playa Hermosa

Right on Playa Hermosa Beach, this boutique hotel features an outdoor pool and hot tub, tropical gardens and a gourmet restaurant. Each air-conditioned suite has a terrace with garden or sea views.

This hotel was the definition of a dreamy escape! They had everything we needed, standup paddle boarding, extremely knowledgeable english speaking friendly staff, and an amazing restaurant. We saw monkey's everyday! All of the rooms are nestled amongst the trees but the beach is only steps away - it is the perfect combination. We went offsite for dinner only one night because the restaurant was so good, we wanted to eat at the hotel! The sunsets were perfect. We also got massages from the hotel and they were out of this world - the best we've ever had (and we get many)!

    A few nice beachside restaurants. Great sunsets.

    A few nice beachside restaurants. Great sunsets. Perfect beach for relaxing and swimming as waves are moderate, not a busy place, but access to plenty of water adventures or outings away from the beach. We used Juan from INFINITY TOURS to plan activities - highly recommend him. He set us up with a same day snorkel tour. Find him on Facebook or call direct at 508-8966-7107, you can also flag him down on the beach as he's often there organizing tours. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063937037776

    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.

    Hosts were more than gracious, we had a small issue with the water heater and it was taken care of at our check out. Very nice and available people. Gave us some great advice on restaurants and places to go. Would stay there again.

    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!

    What was there not to like? Villa del Sueño is a perfect place to stay and de-stress in Playa Hermosa. Upon arrival, the staff was friendly and very welcoming. The room itself was exquisite, very clean and neat. The location is wonderful, close to the beach and away from any noise. Perhaps my favorite part of of my husband and mine’s stay was the wonderful breakfast served by Ronnie. He is very attentive and friendly, an absolutely sweet person. I highly recommend Villa del Sueño to meet all of a vacationer’s needs.

    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.

    The views & Playa Hermosa Beach were spectacular. The Asian, Seafood & Italian Restaurants were very good. Ronald, Fernanda, Cesar & Edward were outstanding staff for hospitality. The pools were lovely. Enjoyed the popcorn/Churro truck & ice cream kiosk. The shuttle buses were convenient. The fire show is a must see! The A/C worked well & the shower had excellent pressure. There was a power outage for a short time.

    This place is amazing. Family of 4 and we stayed here our last 2 nights before flying home via Liberia (Mar/Apr 2024) We just relaxed here our last 2 nights. We didn’t even leave the hotel. The rooms were great, the beach access is phenomenal, and the staff were extremely friendly. Onsite restaurant was great too. Right in the beach

    We had a lovely two days at this basic family hotel. We loved the closeness to the beach and the cleanliness. We didn’t use the pool but it was very clean. The furniture is basic and dated but the beds were comfortable and everything worked. Breakfast was basic and tasty. We appreciated that they let us access our room early.

    The location of the property was excellent, especially with beautiful views of the Sunset each evening, walking on the beach and swimming in the ocean. The hill was a little challenging at times, but we got used to taking the shuttle on a regular basis, or walking up the hill for a bit of a workout.

    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.

    The hotel is actually a jungle on the beach! There was always monkeys hanging out in the trees eating mangos. Rooms were big with lots of space, comfortable beds. Beach was beautiful and you could go for a nice walk to nearby restaurants.
