Find your place to stay
Hotel Bahia del Sol offers a tranquil 4-star beachfront escape on Playa Potrero in Central Guanacaste. Guests can enjoy a freeform pool with a swim-up bar, unwind at the Nau Spa, or savor international and Costa Rican cuisine at the open-air Nasu Restaurant. With diverse room options, from standard to fully equipped suites with private Jacuzzis and garden terraces, it caters to various travel styles, balancing relaxation with easy access to local shops and excursions.
Beach chairs and sun umbrellas line the pool area and green space in front of Playa Potrero at Hotel Bahia del Sol. WiFi is available in some public areas. From this boutique hotel's beachfront setting, you can give the day an easy shape: a swim in the freeform pool, a drink at the swim-up bar and time looking out toward the beach.
Potrero's small shops and restaurants add places to explore without making the town the center of every day. Liberia Airport is about an hour away and Tamarindo's conveniences are about 25 minutes away, putting the hotel in a quieter coastal setting with other outings to consider.
Nau Spa occupies a thatch-roofed hut surrounded by tropical gardens. Professional therapists provide massage, body and beauty treatments, while yoga classes with certified instructors take place several times per week. The Jacuzzi adds another way to unwind after an excursion, and a souvenir store gives you a small shopping stop on site.
At the open-air Nasu Restaurant, international and Costa Rican cuisine, including seafood, comes with a seaside setting. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served from 6:30 am to 10 pm, with Happy Hour from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Hours are subject to change, so check with the hotel when you arrive.
A catamaran and snorkeling trip opens up the Guanacaste coastline; the Catalina Islands offer a scuba-diving outing. A Palo Verde riverboat safari brings opportunities to look for macaws, monkeys and crocodiles, while surf lessons in Tamarindo or a canopy zipline trip give the day a more active direction.
Air conditioning, cable television, a mini-fridge, phone, safe and coffee maker provide the shared comforts. Beyond those essentials, layouts and outdoor spaces differ enough to deserve a closer look.
King Sun and Honeymoon Suites have a private garden-view terrace with a Jacuzzi, living area, large bathroom and outdoor shower.
Deluxe Superior Rooms have an oversized bathroom with a bathtub. Deluxe Rooms pair a private Jacuzzi tub and garden with hammocks in the corridor. Suites add a fully equipped kitchen, living-dining area, breakfast bar and large bathroom when a more self-contained stay would suit your plans.
The Family Suite has two bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, plus a fully equipped kitchen, breakfast bar and living-dining room. The master bedroom has a queen bed; the other bedroom has two twins. A balcony overlooks the gardens.
Standard Rooms provide the simplest, most affordable option. Leave time for the pool, a seaside meal and the beach: the hours between excursions are an appealing part of choosing Bahia del Sol.

Meaghan D.
Loved the beach at this hotel. The Alma carte breakfast was nice but the buffet was average. The only comment is our room faced the parking lot and there was very loud karaoke until 2am on Monday night. I would definitely think the hotel would want to ban that from the nearby bar
Whitley T.
It’s far away from everything and there is no gym, and not very many breakfast options, but the staff was very accommodating
Cassie F.
There were lots of raccoons and one even tried to come in through a light fixture in our room.

Nice place. Loved the "not busy" beach. Had a very nice time here.
Douglas F.
The beach is superb. The bathrooms are spotty and with no water pressure.
Jill C.
We enjoyed staying here and being able to get out and walk on the beach. The front desk staff was engaging and friendly.

Beautiful hotel in gorgeous location. Very enjoyable!

This was our second stay here and we loved it both times. The beachfront king suite is amazing. We enjoyed the pool with the swim up bar and the food was very good. Every staff member there is so nice. We made friends on our first trip last May with Ernesto. He works the front desk. It was great to see he was still there. Also Victor, the bartender. He made the best drinks. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Only complaint is the beds. They are not very comfortable.
