Hotel Bosque del Mar Playa Hermosa
About this stay
Hotel Bosque del Mar sits right on Playa Hermosa Beach, close enough that the outdoor pool and hot tub area opens straight onto the sand. Suites are air-conditioned with a terrace facing either the gardens or the sea, decorated in the earth tones you'd expect from a five-star built around a beach view rather than a lobby. The in-house Niromi restaurant runs international and Costa Rican menus in a marble dining room that keeps sight of the water, and the Nya lounge bar covers drinks and a lighter evening menu. The hotel arranges scuba diving trips and other excursions directly, useful given the sheltered bay just outside. Santa Rosa, Guanacaste, Palo Verde and Diria National Parks are all within about an hour's drive for a day trip inland, and Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport is roughly 20 minutes away, making this one of the more straightforward properties in Playa Hermosa for a first or last night in Guanacaste.
