Canta La Rana Boutique Hotel
A boutique pool and hot tub base near Playa Bejuco
About this stay
Canta La Rana keeps its footprint small and its amenities concentrated: an outdoor pool and hot tub, free breakfast, and kitchens in some rooms, nine minutes by taxi from Playa Bejuco and three minutes from Restaurante San Miguel for dinner. The boutique scale means the pool rarely feels crowded even during busier weeks, and the smoke-free policy suits travelers prioritizing a cleaner-air stay over anything else. At over two and a half hours from Liberia airport by taxi, this property sits on the more remote northern end of the coast, well away from the main resort corridor further south. Nothing about the property is flashy, which fits a coast that has largely stayed outside Costa Rica's bigger resort corridors.
- Small boutique pool
- Free breakfast
- Smoke-free rooms
Our take
Canta La Rana is the kind of address I would choose for a quiet stay with a pool and a hot tub rather than a beachfront room. Breakfast is included, some rooms have kitchen access, and a 9.8 rating from 33 reviews says guests leave happy. The trade-off is the beach: Playa Bejuco is about nine minutes away by taxi, so anyone who wants to walk onto the sand should book on the shore.
- ✓Book breakfast timing with staff if you want the quietest hour, mid-morning empties out fast once other guests wake up
- ✓Use the hot tub after a Playa Bejuco beach day, the taxi ride there and back is nine minutes each way
- ✓Budget the full two-and-a-half-hour Liberia transfer honestly, this is a remote stretch of coast by any measure
Why we love it
- Boutique-scale pool and hot tub
- Kitchen access in some rooms
- Free breakfast included daily
- Nine minutes from Playa Bejuco
Why guests love itCanta La Rana is a small boutique hotel about nine minutes by taxi from Playa Bejuco, and its scale is the point for families who prefer calm to a big resort. Breakfast is included, the outdoor pool and hot tub fill the hours away from the beach, and some rooms have kitchen access for simple meals. Air conditioning helps children sleep through hot nights, and the whole property is smoke-free.
