 | Villas Rio Mar, Dominical
Simple Beach Hotel, Rooms from $50.00
It is like living in a beautiful park, one that is not crowded. Pathways lead through hibiscus hedges between the villas, the pool, the poolside bar, and the restaurant. Quiet and private, yet only a short walk to the attractions of the famous surfing centre of Dominical, it seems much smaller and intimate than its 10 quad units would suggest. The lush jungle encroaches on t...(more) |  |

 | Villa Romantica, Quepos
Country Hotel: Character, Rooms from $79.00
Set on the outskirts of Quepos, Villa Romantica is very handy to the restaurants and bars of the town, and yet just enough removed to be quiet too.

Country Hotel: Luxury, Rooms from $200.00
Exclusive, first class, elegant - all the superlatives come to mind when we think of Makanda by the sea. It is very private, with most of the villas out of sight of each other, but each have commanding sea views. It is a bit of a walk through manicured gardens from the dining or pool area to your villa but once there you find you are sharing your special world with the many fo...(more) | |
