TERRAZAS DEL CARIBE

  Cute little place  - The entire hotel is on a small piece of land and crowded together so if this isnt your style then its not for you. It seems the locals come in... read more for a long weekend to enjoy the area so it can get a bit crowed on the weekends, but during the week it was super quiet. I see the the quality slowly going down hill. I like to give my criticism before I leave to what needs attention and when I mentioned the critters in the ceiling that wakes us at 4am (every morning!) and the fighting of them in the evening, my words were by passed with "we are in the jungle, we do have critters". I cant imagine the smell and damage that will happen in time. The ceiling also leaked water. We had 4 different spots that had constant water coming in. One leak was over our bed. I cant imagine someone else never brought that up! It rained 3 out of our 5 day stay. I watched one of their helpers paint white around the spa that overflows into the pool and he dumped paint in the water. He didn't think that paint is toxic. When we swam after that there was small speckles of paint floating throughout the whole pool. He literally spilled about 1/2 cup into the water. We stopped using the pool when we noticed it. There were families with children using it every day. Breakfast was not great. That can seriously be improved with a better cook and a better selection wouldn't hurt. We had the buffet once during our stay which was adequate, 4 mornings we ordered off a limited menu. Walk to the main road took about 15 to 20 minutes so we rented a scooter. Free covered parking is a plus! The area is nice. Go south, its much more beautiful! On the plus side of this hotel, the service was fantastic. All the help was extremely nice and would go out of their way for you. Limited English is spoken but they work with you. But again, we should probably know Spanish since we are in their country. Katherine is amazing. Very friendly and helpful. Overall, all this information is for you! Me and my husband loved the place and since we travel a lot, these things are minimal to us. The only thing I didnt like was all the rain but rain makes beauty! The scenery on this side of Costa Rica is amazing!

  A solid choice for families or larger groups in Playa Cocles  - We stayed in a superior apartment at the Terrazas Del Caribe in March 2023 with our teenage daughter for five days. This is a new aparthotel, and I think it... read more will be getting better and better. The rooms are very spacious, and could easily fit six people. If you use the Murphy bed, it could even accommodate eight people. It was nice having a full kitchen, and the air conditioning worked well. The food at the restaurant was fantastic and the staff was very welcoming! The pool was lovely, and they delivered breakfast every morning to our room.

The beach was an 8-minute walk down a hill. and I generally prefer a larger and more lively resort, but other than that, everything was great!

  Sisters and spouses getaway  - Very private rooms, spacious--- but if you want to sit its either on the bed or on your patio. A Hammock promotes Pura Vida, and staff are all kinds and... read more very accommodating. Closer to town, but for us we felt safer getting transport in as the drives are VERY narrow. Wildlife abounds nearby if you look for it very peaceful.

  Great location, clean rooms, highly recommended!  - Fantastic experience from start to finish. Excellent customer service by the folks at the front desk who were always responsive and very accommodating. The rooms were extremely clean, the AC... read more was strong, and the water pressure in the bathroom was strong. The pool was beautiful and well-maintained, and the water temperature is perfect. It's located a bit off of the main road but is still walkable to the main road and a number of restaurants, bars, and cafes, and is very quiet at night as a result of its location. For a nicer hotel it was reasonably priced as well for the area based on my search. I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely book another stay here if I'm back in the area.

  Close to town but also in nature  - Amenities ;

Lovely pool and loungers and nice surroundings with nature. Bar at the pool and restaurant.

The breakfast was a buffet but excellent quality and always... read more hot fresh eggs and plenty of choice. Friendly , helpful staff.

Room comfortable. Bed large and comfy and room clean. A little modernisation would help the room quality. Also the hammock on the balcony was a lovely touch but it would be nice for two so couples can enjoy together rather than a large dining table and dining chairs as the rooms have a fridge only and not self catering. Or at least this was not the case with our room.

Bird watching over the tree tops this morning. Toucans and parrots !

  Wonderful people and a great value!  - This place was ever better than the pictures! The best part was the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. They were super responsive to our requests and needs.... read more They treated us like family. The common areas (pool, restaurant) were super clean and beautiful. The room was clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. It’s a great value!
