Hotel Cocomar Beachfront Hotel

We stayed in two suites with kitchens for our family of 7 and our small dog. Located across a small road from the beach. Palo Seco does not have tons of people, so there are times you are on the beach by yourself, and most of the time you are there with just the guests from the hotel (which aren't many). The staff is very friendly. We had some mix-up with the hotel's system not recognizing that both our rooms were paid for, but we straightened it all out within a half-hour. The shower has both rainfall and a hand spray, with decent water pressure and hot water. Good towels. Beds were hard. Pillows okay. The furniture was pretty much all made of bamboo. You can get beach chairs/camping chairs from the reception office. There is a volleyball net, and some shaded areas on the beach. The restaurant was small, but had a good menu. Hot breakfast every morning - the same stuff each morning, eggs, Gallo Pinto, maduros, tiny pancakes, bread & jam, fruit. The power went out for three hours the first night, but the restaurant was open (gas stove). Large balconies, and the kitchen was a full-sized one with a full fridge and oven/range, as well as a dishwasher. Older pots/pans/knives. There were a/c units in both the bedroom and the main living area. The rooms are NOT soundproof. We did use the pool. It was a little small, and not very clean. Waves on this beach are very nice. We found lots of pretty colored rocks, polished by the ocean, here, but not so many shells. Good wi-fi.

Great

Very quiet & secluded location. Beach is wonderful. Need to drive unpaved road little bit though. Had a wonderful time and love to come back.

Great place on an awesome beach - stay an extra day so you don’t leave disappointed that you didn’t spend a whole day enjoying the pool and beach onsite!! Our only regret was not being here long enough!

It was short stay, but an awesome experience. I’ve never felt so welcomed in a hotel before, the staff and management were super friendly and the location is beautiful. I will definitely go back with more time so I can take the tours they recommend.

My husband and I stayed one evening in transit between the Osa and Liberia. Though it wasn't our typical place to stay, for our short time spent there, it did suffice. Hotel front desk staff was very helpful and pleasant. Parking was ample and access to our room was easy for carrying luggage to and from. A beautiful beach across the road was perfect for our morning walk.

Brad and his team at Cocomar did all you could ask to make our stay comfortable. They booked a private tour at the park for us, gave us dinner suggestions, when we didn't eat at the restaurant there, and our room was incredible. The only suggestion, that's outside of their hands is the road in needs some help. It's no impassible, just a little dusty at time but the views at sunset make it all worth it.

Lovely hotel & staff. Great beach. Enjoyable dining in open air restaurant.

Pros Great staff, secluded beach, pretty good food! Affordable too. Cons Our room was out of date. The lamp shades where torn, old bed linens, weak WiFi.

Yes it’s out of the way but you’re meters from the beach that is km’s long with almost no people. It really is a hidden gem.
