Isla Chiquita Glamping Hotel, hotel in Puntarenas

Isla Chiquita Glamping Hotel has a restaurant, outdoor plunge pool, a bar and garden in Puntarenas. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace.

We picked this hotel for their sustainable credentials and we could see once there that they tried their best to follow a much more sustainable approach. The location is just unique and the views are stunning. We gad tent 14 and it was everything and more we could ask for. The room was really comfortable and the monkeys, lizards and racoons kept us entertained! I highly recommend the spa. The massage was great with views to go with it.

Hotel Yadran Beach Resort, hotel in Puntarenas

Situated in Puntarenas, less than 1 km from Puntarenas Beach, Hotel Yadran Beach Resort features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

A slightly absurd but totally pleasant place to stay. The hay-days of this sister-establishment of that Caribbean hotel from the Godfather movies are, however, long gone. There is maybe even a casino (advertised but not seen). There certainly is a lovely pool on a desolate roof but it seemed to be out of hours. Checking in, you get a festival-like bracelet which is most annoying and entirely unnecessary. We ripped ours off which ever so slightly disgruntled the otherwise helpful and correct reception guy. The queen beds are HUGE, as in much broader than long. AC works. The antiquated feel of the whole place is more pronounced in the bathroom where a 30cm shower cabin threshold makes for one of many interesting interior design solutions some of which weren’t cool even back in the 1970s. This is, however, not a bad place to stay at all. Rooms are nice and clean. There is a supervised parking and 24h reception and the ferries of Puntarenas are at 75 m which makes this. Perfect stop for those early ferry departures.

    Very run down.

    Very run down. We went passed the local prison 2 roads away from place we had originally booked. No trees,no green, just run down building with barb wires and high gates, corrugated iron....not nice, avoid.

    While the hotel and staff were lovely and helpful the common verandah didn't allow for much privacy. The hotel was also at least 5kms from the rest of the town with no shops or restaurants nearby, so a little isolated. But the beach just across the road was a bonus.

    Plenty of restaurants, activities to explore, etc. For me, It totally depends on your hotel. I’ve stayed in Puntarenas many times, but my trip this week to Hotel Puntarenas Beach was, sadly, my worst hotel experience in Puntarenas.

    Nice city, you feel quiet safe, only at the beach and i the city a lot of agressiv beggers and seems like the police dont care, told they are not locals, but from the countries around Costa Rica, for the rest its a great place, easy to drive around in the region and see everything in max 3 hours drive away, locals drive nice, even the trucks.So will go back again

    Puntarenas is only worth the visit if you're gonna take the ferry boat to the islands next to it. The beaches are not great, full of trash, plastic , i guess because of the location and the currents? Not a lot to see or do. Not impressed.

    Friendly town with lots of friendly people.

    Friendly town with lots of friendly people. Great spot to visit the smaller islands and their virgin beaches. Please visit the light house area and Isla Cocos restaurant. The fresh seafood is excellent and the staff wonderful.

    The Villa was perfect, we had everything we needed and the location was ideal to visit famous surfer spots and national parks. The owners of the house are super helpful and kind and always there if anything is needed. We felt very safe and comfortable and recommend it to everyone who is planning to stay in the Puntarenas/Jaco area!

    During my stay I felt at absolute peace. The property is in a secluded place where you can hear ara macaws, congos, parakeets and wind chimes, that's all. If you want to enjoy nature, this is the place you should go. You can also visit many beautiful beaches and national parks on one-day trips, the location is strategic.

    Fair amenities for the price paid. Room and bathroom were very clean and the bed pretty comfortable. The hotel is at the back of the restaurant and while there was music during the day, it was very quiet in the evening and night. Staff were kind. Would definitely recommend if you're passing by Puntarenas for one night.

    it is a very nice and calm hotel, with a small pool, where you can enjoy the evening in front of you room. Very nicely decorated. An open lobby and reception, providing free coffee and tea all day long. Very friendly and helpful staff. Private parking space and very close the the ferries to Nicoya peninsula.

    We stayed in this hotel as an overnight before taking the Paquera ferry to the Guanacaste Peninsula. The hotel was clean and acceptable. Certainly no frills but all we needed was a bed to rest our heads before moving on. This hotel fit the bill just fine.

    Stayed there one night during our road trip. Clean room with comfortable bed. Nice little pool. Mini market just 10m from hotel. 20m to the beach. Beach is maybe not good for swimming, but nice for wondering sunset.
