Hotel Brasilito

We LOVED this place! It is in the heart of Brasilito right on the beach. You cannot beat the price of the rooms here! We stayed in the ocean front room, which has a porch to sit and overlook the waves. Now, this place is not fancy at all! Shower didn’t work great, but it was clean and comfortable. It is not a quiet, remote spot. There are 2 bars right next door, that played music from 11 am-11 pm every day. But it fits with the atmosphere. We did drive down to nosara for a bit more peace and quiet, so that is an option. It is a few minutes walk to Conchal Beach… beautiful! You can rent jet skis, ride horses and swim in the beautiful, warm ocean. I’d def recommend this place if you want to immerse yourself in the culture. The staff is amazing! So helpful and polite. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your awesome hotel!

This is NOT a resort. This is really 1 step up from a hostel. It is an inexpensive hotel, near (NOT directly on) the beach. Staff is very nice, and attentive. There is a small, but frequently traveled, road between the hotel and the beach. Also, there is a very loud club/bar just on the other side of that road, which plays music very loudly from Noon until Midnight or later, every night. There are also roosters in the unkempt lot next door, which start crowing around 2:00am. There are no beach amenities provided (lounge chairs, etc.). The "secure parking" consists of 4 spaces, with a piece of chain hung behind the cars. If you don't get one of these 4 spots, you're stuck parking on the road. There are a lot of stray dogs and cats on, and around the property. The restaurant downstairs (Pacific Palms) is good, but overpriced (fish and chips + burger w/ fries, and 2 frozen drinks = $52USD). The surrounding town, Playa Brasilito, is an authentic, average, Costa Rican town. Good, local restaurants and shops. It's located in between 2 resort towns (Playa Conchal, and Playa Flamingo), so there's easy access to a lot of activities. We never felt unsafe in the area. All of the local "Ticos" were very friendly! A 12-15 minute walk south along the beach will put you right on the fabulous Playa Conchal beach, where you will find a lot of the resort-like beach amenities (cabana/lounge chair rentals, frozen drinks delivered to you, etc). Please understand, I do not intend for this to be a negative review. Hotel Brasilito "is what it is." A no-frills, budget friendly hotel, near the beach. I just want others to be able to make an educated decision about the property.

convenient and affordable, nice for a little trip.

If you are looking for a spot where you feel like part of the family, Hotel Brasilito is the place for you! Quaint, safe, charming property with no frills. Beach is right outside your door and super convenient stores next door. Great restaurants near you and within a few minutes driving. If you want a flavor of Costa Rica, this is your spot!

Staff were good, restaurant is pretty good, small but nice pool.close the beach and 10 minute walk to the beach of shells..

Great hotel for what you get. Steps to the beach and great restaurants. Everyone is so friendly. Room is basic but had AC, hot shower and the plunge pool was nice. A little loud at night time with the bars so close but not to bad. We managed to sleep though it :)

Friendly Tico alternative to the resorts. Helpful staff, nice pool, and a short walk to beautiful Playa Conchal!

I love this hotel. If you want a laid back affordable and clean place ON THE BEACH this is a great choice. The crown is that the entire staff is attentive, accommodating, and lovely. I just finished my second stay there and the manager, Roxanna, again treated me like family. The rooms aren’t fancy but they are well cared for and the beds are super comfortable. The grounds are well cared for and there is an attached restaurant that overlooks the beach. My one wish is that my room had a mini-refrigerator as the tap water gets warm depending on the time of day. My plan this trip was to stay 3 nights and then move south to explore. I ended up staying the entire week at the hotel. Playa Brasilito is a beautiful beach and a nice walk to Playa Conchal which is one of CR’s most beautiful beaches. and I do wish they had mini fridges Can’t say enough

Too noisy

My husband and I stayed for 4 days and 3 nights in this authentic and beautiful hotel. The staff are friendly and accommodating in every way. We quickly feel in love with the staff and the stay was wonderful. We loved the location and amenities the hotel has to offer. We will be going back as often as we possibly can.
