Hotel La Dolce Vita

Poorly maintained and very much in need of an upgrade.

Fantastic place to stay. The staff/owners are very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast is simple, but very good. The kitchens in the rooms are very functional and useful.

Overall it’s good, on the beach and local with really awesome staff. However, don’t expect anything too fancy and the WiFi barely works. The bed and futon were 4/10 but we only stayed one night and got the job done.

Amazing beach! This place is very clean and laid back. Garden is beautiful and well maintained! Cleanest pool I've seen at a hotel in a long time. There is a bar next door that can get loud but it just added to our experience! Highly recommend!

Hotel La Dolce Vita has comfortable, clean efficiency apartments on the Pacific beach. The area is relaxed, not crowded. I noticed the hotel can hook you up with almost any type of Costa Rican tour, however the beach crowd was largely surfers and boogie borders. It is an excellent surfing spot, but also great place to unwind, read, write, walk. Wifi was great. The apartment has everything you need, well thought out. The AC was very cold. The staff were regular, good local people. A great Costa Rican hotel and you can't beat the price, I know I live down here half the year.

Was looking for a place to stay on the central coast but not too noisy. Hotel La Dolce Vita was more then I was looking for, including kitchen and fridge. Definitely recommend .

This may not be the fanciest hotel, but the location makes it a winner. We stayed in Esterillos for 3 days and enjoyed daily walks on the beach and laying out by the pool. The room had okay Wifi, great A/C, and even a little kitchenette, which I didn't realize until we got there. Staff was helpful and called us a taxi when we left and helped up pick up a broken bottle of sangria one night (oops). Do note that there are no ATMs and only two restaurants in Esterillos Oeste. We highly recommend Los Almendros -- we ate there for dinner every night. There's also a small supermarket with the basics. Enjoy!

The owners were absolutely wonderful, helpful and super accommodating! It was nice to have a kitchenette (hot plate, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, etc.) in the room. Charming property with everything you'll need for a comfortable, inexpensive stay in Esterillos Oeste.

The service was great. Clean room with all the equipment: air conditioner, microwave, kitchen, dish plates, utensils, etc. We chose the breakfast deal which was great. You can even choose which hour you'd like your breakfast. The pool was always clean and ready to be enjoyed. The beach was just a few steps away. The safety was good. They have a family in charge and there is a front door to the beach, which it's opened in case you want to go out. In general, it's a great pleasant experience and we stayed between Oct 30th and Nov 4th (not many people around). We will definitely visit again. Great choice for Esterillos stay!

Good: pool, kitchen, in front of the beach, close Herradura and Jacó.
