Hotel Playa Hermosa Bosque del Mar

Playa Hermosa, Coco, Southern Papagayo

Good to Know

Hotel Playa Hermosa Bosque del Mar offers beachfront boutique accommodation, private outdoor spaces and ocean or garden outlooks. Beachfront dining, spa treatments and pools make it appealing to leave time at the hotel between coastal activities and guided outings.


The shore becomes part of the stay

The Pacific shore and tropical greenery give Hotel Playa Hermosa Bosque del Mar its boutique coastal character. Step into a stay where a beach walk can belong to the day as naturally as dinner with an ocean sunset outlook. The setting invites you to leave time for the hotel itself as well as the outings beyond it.

Settle into the coastal setting

Comfort and space matter when you return from the beach. Rooms and suites pair an elegant design with the tropical setting, and selected terraces or balconies let you keep enjoying an ocean or garden outlook without leaving your accommodation. Consider the view and the outdoor space of your choice as part of the stay, rather than assuming the same features across every category.

Dinner beside the beach

At the beachfront restaurant, fresh, locally sourced ingredients meet Costa Rican flavors. Sunset over the water gives dinner a natural sense of occasion, especially after a day that has been spent outdoors.

A slower hour or a more active coast

The spa's treatments and massages take inspiration from local traditions, offering a quieter counterpart to time outdoors. Alternate a swim in the pools or a walk along the sand with more active possibilities such as surfing, kayaking or paddleboarding. The pleasure is in having room for either pace, with the shore close enough to remain part of the day.

Guided national park tours, hikes and canopy adventures invite you beyond Playa Hermosa, with opportunities to discover the region's wildlife and natural landscapes. Choose an outing that interests you and return with time to enjoy the shore, rather than giving every day the same itinerary.

Personalized hospitality, attention to detail and a commitment to sustainability complement the boutique experience. Together with the rooms, coastal dining and tropical setting, they give time on the property a considered place in a Playa Hermosa holiday.

Why choose this beachfront boutique stay

  • Boutique accommodation directly on the Pacific shore combines tropical greenery with beach access, keeping both landscapes close through the stay.
  • Spacious rooms and suites have private terraces or balconies; ocean and garden outlooks vary, so choose around the view you want.
  • The beachfront restaurant uses fresh local ingredients and Costa Rican flavors, with sunset views giving dinner its own sense of occasion.
  • Spa treatments and massages inspired by local traditions offer relaxation beyond time at the pools.
  • Pools and walks along the sand suit unhurried hours, while surfing, kayaking and paddleboarding provide more active coastal possibilities.
  • Guided national park tours, hikes and canopy adventures offer ways to explore wildlife and natural landscapes beyond Playa Hermosa.
  • Personalized service, attention to detail and an environmental commitment complement a stay centered on the coast and nature.

Was the best experience we had all around

Alison L.

We loved that this hotel was right on the beach - it made it super easy to spend the day on the water, but also be near bathrooms and snacks if we needed them. It was also great to be able to walk down the beach to explore other restaurants.

Diane P.

Last year we stayed in a different section of the hotel - near the pool. We were surprised to be in the main building, with shared outdoor space. While it turned out OK, we would have preferred to have private outdoor space this time as well. We didnt know we would be on the 3rd floor with no elevator. My husband is 75 and tho he could manage it, we were not expecting this accommodation.

Beautiful Place!

Aline G.

The hotel property is right on the beach. The property is small and cozy. The howling monkeys live on the property.and you can watch them from dusk to dawn. The only complain I have is that the prices at the restaurant are very high and the included breakfast is very limited.

Chuck S.

Wonderful hotel, location, grounds, and room

Christine S.

EXCEPTIONAL hotel, great location, fabulous dining with great flexibility for our GF family members, and super comfortable accommodations. If we return, we will definitely want to stay here again!

Janet W.

this is a very lovely hotel. The bar service was quite a bit more expensive than others and the service did take more time than what was expected. I would stay here again. a nice breakfast menu to order from.

Tamara Y.

Beautiful view Pleasant staff Good fish for dinner, breakfast

Cynthia C.

Beautiful and clean villas. The staff was outstanding in their friendliness and attentiveness. The breakfast and dinner menus provided a nice variety. The food was always fresh, and delicious. Loved the eggs benedict and mahi mahi and creme brule. Top notch!

Machaela P.

Can not say enough about this place. Staff was excellent!!! Place was clean and comfortable.

Matthew L.

Probably our least favorite hotel, but that isn't saying anything bad it was solid. Some inconsistent staff, but overall we had a good experience, and the food was actually excellent. The 'penthouse' was fine but nothing as exciting as it sounds. Solid hotel.

Gabriella J.

Total paradise and the best part of our stay!

Coralee N.

This was my favorite hotel, and I wish we could have been there longer than just one night! The beach was AWESOME, the food was delicious, the grounds were gorgeous, and I really was NOT ready to leave the following morning!

Cassie L.

Beautiful place, we were only there 2 nights and didn’t have a car, but if we go again we’d explore more, we didn’t realize how many more restaurants were in walking distance. The restaurants are close by, wear good walking shoes and wear dry wear clothing for your walk… it’s very hot there.

Sara S.

This was an amazing stay and beyond a 10. Staff - all of them - were so kind and helpful. Apparently, breakfast was included. We didn't know until our last day. But that was okay because we had a wonderful breakfast each day down the beach.

Caroline P.

The beach felt private, it was great to be in a more remote area, yet, 10 minutes Uber ride away to more restaurant and shops, exactly what we wanted

William K.

This was the best place I have stayed in a long time.

Darla K.

The resort was very clean. The staff at the front desk were very pleasant and helpful. I can’t say that for the bartender. It took a long time to order and get our drinks. It was even harder to get a second drink and it wasn’t even busy. The food and drinks were good when we final got them. The room and view was beautiful.

Brent Y.

Loved this hotel

Ruth I.

We loved everything about this hotel. Room felt private and it was in an incredible location.

Wendy D.

In future I would have preferred all inclusive Five days with same restaurant menu not enjoyable. Felt staff just going through the motions 2 days there yes, five too many. Beautiful boutique hotel. Lovely property with lush surroundings with

Shirley L.

The hot tub and pool area was small and not warm.

Lisa B.

Great hotel, beautiful room with view of ocean. We weren’t there very long, wish we could have gone straight to Arenal

Gillian P.

Lovely hotel but too expensive for us. We weren't there long enough to enjoy the benefits of suite we were allocated. Strange that booking didn't include breakfast.
