David B wrote a review Dec 2022
We stayed here after 3 weeks in Costa Rica for a night as a place to crash before our flight. It worked out well. Not fancy, but it was clean, organized and had nice amenities. It's not on the beach, but a short walk. The drive to the airport was ~30 minutes, and it was worth being in a much more interesting location than the airport hotels. Recommended.

Hotel's Favorite
We stayed in the superior villa which was well equipped with a kitchen.The villa had 2 bathrooms which was very convenient for us as a family.The hotel personnel were helpful and kind.We enjoyed the birds and saw some monkeys at dusk.Hotel is near a soda restaurant which was excellent.Close proximity to the beach which is beautiful.All in all perfect for a relaxing time.

Economical option to stay one or two nights max. The standard room has a small fridge which was nice. Secure parking on site. Breakfast is in the restaurant next to the hotel. It was a little buffet with a few options, nothing special but was quite filling so no complaints. The Hermosa beach is walking distance 5 minutes, has calm waters but a bit boring to our liking to stay more than one hour. The location is good as it allowed us to explore other nearby beaches, such as Panama, Coco, Tamarindo, Flamingo. Disliked · Crowdy pool with way too many people most of time, we didn't want to use it. The Playa Heromosa village itself is very small with nothing much to do there. So we went for a dinner one night to the Coco beach and the next night to Tamarindo, The restaurant where breakfast was served had open windows and doors but it was inside. I would prefer an outside open air place for breakfast during covid times. Not effective communication by the reception during check in. They did not mention anything about breakfast even though our stay included breakfast. So I had to go there again and specifically ask, Apparently they give coupons for breakfast in the ajoining restaurante. They should have explained everything at once and provide all the coupons at once at the check in time. Also they had to provide the WIFI details at the checkin. Next time we will stay somewhere else.

Good evening Galina , thanks for share your review with us . So bad that your experience with us has not been for all good . We just wanna make clear about some points mencioned before : 1. About breakfast : You made your own reservation , it specifies that breakfast was included , at the check in time we pointed but probabbly by the noise or another distractions the communication was not effective , also in the policies you sign was all the information 2. About the wifi : All around the place we have signs with the wifi code , in the front desk we gave you the password, maybe for the same reasons ( noise and distractions) communication was not effective These days have been so busy , is common that things happened :( About the good things you mentioned about us , thanks so much , it was a pleasure to attend you :)

Rooms are basic but very comfortable, with tv, fridge and good A/C. The whole hotel and public areas are very clean. Not much seating around pool area, but that could be due to Covid restrictions. Short walk to the beach and a few good restaurants. Have to make special mention to the ladies on reception that went above and beyond in their help and service

I was overcharged by 30$ for this hotel. The hottub was broken, the staff were not helpful, and the hotel was loud and noisy. Currently working to report the overcharge to the Costa Rica tourism board. If you are from the United States, stay away from this hotel.

Dear Mr Jacobson , so sad to read that your expectations with us was not accomplished , however i would like to make clear about some points in your review : 1. You were not overcharged, the $30 is the sales taxes in Costa Rica ( is the 13% of the total pursache amount added at the end of the bill ) , so in booking.com shows the price without them but in the next line specifies that 13% VAT is not included . 2. About the noise , the sincere apologycies but we were full that weekend 3. Our jacuzzi has not hot water because it is only a whirpool tub, probabbly a mistake on the website translation because in the spanish website the information is clear. If you have any doubt please contact us Kind regards

Nice private location, good for young families. Good service to the airport. Recommend the hotel hand out more then 1 key per room, we left the key in the room 3 times...kids. Pool was clean, and walking distance to restaurants and the beach.

Stayed here as a stopping point on our way to Tamarindo. The pools are nice, and the grounds are pleasant. The room was clean, but kind of sterile. The bathroom had some questionable electrical hanging out of the wall where the shower head/insta hot device was. I was worried about getting shocked while showering!! Breakfast in the restaurant was convenient. The beds were not very comfortable but it was just a quick stop!

My husband and I were traveling through Costa Rica and we had heard the Playa Hermosa was quite nice and worth the visit. When we arrived to Hotel & Villas Huetares, the staff were very pleasant and check-in was a breeze! We were given our room key, pool towels and an over view of the hotel (they sold bags of ice there, which was really hardly) Our room was very basic, but did come with a room safe and a bar fridge and was very clean! We stayed there for two nights and had a nice time. This particular hotel is excellent for young families with kid, as there are two good size pools, but for a couple looking to relax by the pool, this might not be the place for you. We decided to leave two days earlier and we were dealing with the manager Katherine Briceno who was very accommodating with us leaving a few days earlier.

Very nice hotel with lovely pools and grounds. The rooms are average, clean and comfortable with an abundance of hot water and small refrigerator. Hair dryers and shampoo are provided. Breakfast is included in the rate. Front desk staff are indifferent and not very helpful compared to every other place we stayed. On the contrary Housekeeping and groundskeepers are exceptionally helpful. We had a basic hotel room but there are bigger suites available for larger families. There is a nice play area for children, a pool table, ping pong table, and exercise equipment. The pools are nice but very busy and quite noisy, so if you want a quiet relaxing stay l, I would recommend you look at a different hotel. The beach is only a five minute walk as are good restaurants.

I stayed in this hotel with my partner and 3 friends. I stayed in one room with my boyfriend and friend and my other two friends slept in a separate room. As we woke up both myself, my boyfriend and friend became to itch dramatically. We took a look at our bodies and we were covered head to toe in bites and rashes. We had to douse ourselves in cream. My friends in the other room were completely fine. When we complained to the hotel they told us it was bites from bugs at the beach which made no sense because all 5 of us would be bitten which wasnt the case as my friends who stayed in the other room were fine. We recieved no apology or compensation. Personally I would not stay here again. The rooms are old, shabby and not clean. AVOID
