Top Playa Penca Hotel Reviews

Condovac la Costa

8/10 Good

"Staff was great, rooms were nice but decor a little outdated. Property was clean in main areas, but a lot of trash and old debris next to rooms. We had a lot of ants and bugs in our room. The views were beautiful and a shuttle came every 10 minutes to take you to the beach or check in area."

Hotel Villa Del Sol

8/10 Good

"The location was very convenient, which was the main advantage of this place. The TV had no signal or channels available, so it served no real purpose. The room was reasonably comfortable, but I felt the price was a bit high for what was offered. The pool also did not appear to be very clean during our stay. Overall, it was acceptable because of the location, but there is definitely room for improvement."

Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property and room! The pools are plentiful and never felt crowded—we saw a monkey! Treat yourself to an evening sunset by the lobby bar—breathtaking! The beach is ona beautiful cove. My kids enjoyed the rocky areas for “tidepooling” for hermit crabs, fish, etc. There is a nice reef right off the beach where daily snorkeling activities are available. We saw a puffer fish, some colorful tropical fish and a spotted ray. Note the beach is public, but the locals are friendly and not loud. There are no loungers down close to the ocean (a little higher up on the sand close to the property, but not many people sat there). It was a tad of an annoyance to see 9 jet skis in the cove almost everyday. They are for rental. My family did enjoy them one day, however, 2 or three would suffice. 9 surely took away from the tropical island feel and I looked forward to each evening when they disappeared. The room was luxurious and had everything you needed. We did purchase a 2 queens room with a small plunge pool—in hindsight sight we did not use it much and we noticed these pools were only on the first floors (preventing a better view). It did seem like there were only a few larger suites with a corner pool on the upper floors of buildings). The dining was pretty good. The breakfast spread at TicoTica was great and unexpected. We enjoyed Peacock Alley to watch the World Cup USA game—a great vibe. Kids enjoyed the pool with the slide and the teen room was cool. Pura Vida!"

Tropical Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"Sharon at reception was exceptional. She was very thorough, informative and even assisted me with booking shuttles and tours. The property was gorgeous, clean and well maintained. So many pools and maintenance workers upkeeping the exterior. The walk to the Java coffee shop/Wave restaurant is 5 minutes and about 15 minutes to downtown which has many gift shops, restaurants and grocery stores. As a solo female traveller, I felt very safe in Coco Beach, as the locals WANT to help you. Golf cart rental is availiable and I would reccomend as walking is nice, but in +38 temperatures it can be a little challenging. Thank you T.G."

T Loft

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at T Loft in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica, hosted by Eric — it truly exceeded our expectations. Eric personally designed and created this place, and you can feel his vision in every detail. The property is beautiful, new, stylish, and thoughtfully designed with modern technology and fast, reliable internet. All materials feel high-quality and comfortable, creating a luxurious yet cozy atmosphere. The bathroom is unforgettable — it feels like being outdoors, with a stunning stone wall where rainwater flows naturally during rainfall, turning a simple shower into a magical experience. The kitchen is perfectly equipped, including a multicooker, a large refrigerator with ice, and everything needed for cooking. The sleeping area was amazing — a huge comfortable bed, soft linens, and thoughtful details like bedside lighting and automatic phone charging. The only small thing missing was a full-length mirror, so I ended up using the bathroom door reflection — which actually made me smile every morning and became a cute little ritual. Eric personally showed us the property with pride and care, and you can truly feel the love he put into creating this space. He even prepared beach chairs and towels for us. The beach is about a 5-minute walk away and feels peaceful and uncrowded. Thank you, Eric — your dedication is deeply appreciated. We would happily return! "
