Anona Guesthouse
A small, high-rated aparthotel a short walk from the beach
About this stay
Anona Guesthouse is a small aparthotel near the first entrance to Playa Hermosa, opposite the local school, with family rooms built around private bathrooms, air conditioning and balconies. Each unit has a kitchen with modern appliances and a dining area, and the shared outdoor pool and garden are the main common spaces. It's 2.7 kilometres from Hermosa Beach and about 23 kilometres from Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport, with Marina Papagayo roughly 34 kilometres away. Free private parking is available on site, and the guesthouse keeps its footprint small rather than trying to compete with the larger beachfront hotels on amenities — the trade-off is a lower rate for a similar kitchen-and-pool setup.
- Kitchen in every unit
- Outdoor pool and garden
- 2.7 km from Hermosa Beach
Our take
For a self-catering stay on a budget, Anona Guesthouse is hard to beat locally — the kitchen and private bathroom are full-size, and the guest ratings back up the value even though it sits a short drive from the sand rather than on it. Book ahead: it's a small property and rooms don't stay available for long.
Why we love it
- One of the highest guest ratings in Playa Hermosa despite being a budget pick
- Kitchens and private bathrooms in every unit, not a shared setup
- Free private parking at the first entrance to the beach area
Why guests love itI recommend Anona Guesthouse to families on a budget who are happy to cook. Every unit is a family room with a private bathroom and its own kitchen, and the outdoor pool and garden give children space between outings. Hermosa Beach is 2.7 kilometres away, so a car or taxi helps for sea days. The 9.2 rating comes from only 23 guests, so treat it as a promising, simple aparthotel rather than a full hotel.
