Casa vacacional Brisas del Mar, hotel in Playa Azul

Boasting a garden, private pool and garden views, Casa vacacional Brisas del Mar is situated in San Juanillo. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking.

The small private pool, when clean, is cute and deep, around 5 feet deep, 10' by 10'. It has a dolphin tap to fill it which is also cute. The mango tree on the property actually yields small edible fruit, which we tried. The fridge was quite cold and the freezer froze things completely, a welcome surprise and useful for freezing water bottles overnight to take to the beach. The upstairs breeze deck was cool and breezy. The separate bathroom was clean and the shower had good pressure. No hot water, but none was needed due to the very hot temperatures in March. The grounds were well-kept by a gardener who came daily.

Green Sanctuary Hotel, hotel in Playa Azul

Offering an outdoor pool and a spa and wellness centre, Green Sanctuary Hotel is located in Nosara. Free WiFi access and free private parking are available.

Cute and comfy hotel with lots of character. 1. Room+terrace: comfy and cool with the AC. Nice and spacious and I liked having my own little walkway and sitting area to enjoy moments alone. 2. Facilities: nice yoga shala and pool area. The other guests were friendly and it was a nice area to enjoy and chat with others 3. Breakfast: great breakfast! I loved the fruit and juice and coffee provided upon sitting siren and the breakfast options from the menu were excellent 4. Staff: Amazing staff. Fran and Maria were super friendly and Christina was very helpful and so great to chat with and let me practice my Spanish with her and was also very helpful in making recommendations of where to get food and how to get around. The owner was also helpful in ensuring things were operating well. 5. Location: I really liked the location. Was a nice walk to the beach in one direction and to BodhiYoga Resort in the other direction. I went to the beach at least once every day and to Bodhi several times during my stay for yoga or food or reliable wifi while grabbing a smoothie 6. The Vibe and Jungle feel: I noticed several other hotels in the area that were fancier and more polished but I actually preferred Green Sanctuary because the others seemed a little too sterile for me. Overall was an amazing stay and I plan to visit again!

    If you're looking for an 'out of the way' place to stay and relax, you can't do better than this place. The pool is fabulous and has a swim up bar, and both restaurants had excellent food. The grounds were beautiful and well kept, and the staff was absolutely fabulous, even calling us by our first names by the second day. The room was very comfortable, the bed was great, the shower was superb (good water pressure) and the A/C worked like a charm on those humid, overcast days.

    We ate at the hotel for most meals - food was very good!

    We ate at the hotel for most meals - food was very good! I would go back for a private, romantic weekend. Pool is beautiful and while there were a few games I really wouldn't recommend it for a family vacation. Definitely better suited for adults.

    There is nothing here at all apart from the hotel.

    There is nothing here at all apart from the hotel. The beach is lovely, but so are lots of beaches all over Costa Rica, and many have little places to buy a drink, or some food. If you are staying at the hotel and just want to go for a walk it is great, but definitely not a destination beach imo

    It's an amazing place.

    It's an amazing place. The beach is too dangerous for young kids, but there are other nice ones nearby. To get there, you need a transfer of a tuff car that can handle dirt roads. We made a few trips nearby and if you plan to go to Nosara, be sure to have an experienced driver and a car that can cross rivers (4x4 car). Besides that, the place is just astounding in all aspects. Wifi is fast enough even for a heavy data user like me. The swimming pool is great, and the barmen are always available to do some fancy cocktails.
