Love the Vibe!

This was my favorite hotel of the trip. I loved everything about it! The hostess has a flair for sparing no attention to detail. The vibe is wonderful and so is the food. The room was clean and comfortable. Across the street is a beautiful secluded beach. I will stay here again!

Incredible stay at the resort. My family thoroughly enjoyed the property, the kind staff and impeccable service, the animals on property, the remote and tranquil location with beach access across from the pool.

10/10 Exceptional

The owner of this resort treats everyone like her family. My kids and I loved our stay as we felt taken care of and tended to. The facilities were beautiful and the private beach was exquisite. We loved the food and entire dining experience. We also loved the rescue animals roaming the property. We hope to go back and stay again!!
Nicole, 4-night trip

Luxury peaceful accommodations on the beach.

Perfection on every level! Garden rooms with a pristine beach a short walk away! The most comfortable beds and welcoming atmosphere! This is our favorite place to stay in Costa Rica! The highlight is the owner who creates the best food we’ve ever had in our lives. Everything she made was so delicious. We love the rescue animals that live at the resort and look forward to returning soon.
Kris, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a nice place to go if you want something quiet and not tooany ppl. They are pet friendly which is always a plus. Overall the restaurant food and drink prices I thought were high but other than that, they staff was great. The pool is one of the best I've seen around and will definitely go back. I'll just load up on beers before getting there.

10/10 Exceptional

location and staff are amazing. if you are a pet lover you will like this place. There are many lovely pets around the facility. very quiet. The beach feels as though it is private so there are few people in this area, and it is an exceptionally clean beach.
Sheyne, 1-night trip

Great and secluded little hotel right in front of the beach, with a huge pool and a peaceful atmosphere. Definitely will be back and recommend.

This place was amazing! Diana was a very kind and welcoming host! Also, the best food I've ever had! I would definitely visit this place again.
Pelin, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A slice of paradise off the beaten path. Beautiful grounds, manicured gardens and a few steps away from the most pristine secluded private beach that seems to go on for miles. Wish we had more time there. Serene and relaxing. A real hidden gem. Diana the owner was a pleasure and you can tell she has put in a lot of effort to make her guests feel welcome. The decor is eclectic and unique. The best part of the stay were the friendly dogs on the property that lead you to your villas and accompany you to the beach and pool. Great for both couples and families. Puts Vida!

A quaint charming resort

It was a comfortable stay. The highlight was the almost private secluded beach. Being exposed to the elements the property is not in the best condition, but the host immediately took care of any problems we had. FYI there are a few dogs, a cat, and a couple of raccoons which belong to the owner, and live on the property and walk around in the dining area. The food was delicious, and cooked from scratch, so give plenty of time for it to be prepared. A bit on the pricier side. The approach road to the property is a 5km gravel road. All in all a good place to have a quiet, secluded vacation.

Incredible, intimate and just awesome. The beach is top notch, practically no one around. Literal paradise

This was our second visit in the past few years. We love going here to just get away from it all. The staff and owner are always so attentive and accommodating.
Kimberly, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

3 night stay

The staff was friendly and the grounds were nice. One of the only upsides to this property is that the beach is steps away. If you’re coming with a family just beware there aren’t many restaurants in the area. The property as a whole is pretty run down.

Nice beach hotel, quiet, great rooms.

A hidden gem right on the beach which goes for miles. Beach is nice sand, rolling pacific warm waves. Hotel has a pool, great rooms and a warm welcome from the host. If you like peace and quiet, this is a great place for you. Only down side is the food is more expensive
Matthew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The resort offered a nice getaway being away from the busy areas with a semi private beach that wasn’t crowded and had pretty sunset views. The staff were friendly and attentive. Rooms were clean and the style and decor was resort boho chic. Perfect for a secluded Costa Rica vacation. We had a rental car so coming and going to town was easy for us.
Jennifer, 4-night trip

Very beautiful, unique, and serene destination. A special experience. Dianne and staff were kind and accommodating. The food was amazing. Great experience.
Erika, 3-night trip

Property has a lot of potential. The view is breathtaking and the grounds are beautiful. However I felt like I was camping. The rooms need updating and cleaning. The dogs and staff are great.
Carrie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

If you are looking for a place to totally unwind relax. Disconnect, this is the place you have to like dogs and don't mind the raccoon. The staff was amazing. The owner saw to our needs made us feel so special for our anniversary. The food was amazing. The room was amazing. It's off the beaten path but it was perfect.
Walter E, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very good one night stay. Room was comfortable and convenient to restaurant and pool. Pool was relaxing but only very shallow or too deep to stand. I didn’t like that shower floor was hard to stand on with round large stones. Good was good at restaurant but expensive.

Great Accomodation, Secluded Location

Very quant small boutique accommodation in a secluded area of Quopes about 30 minute drive away. Right on a beautiful beach which black sand. More of a location for decompresion than chocked full of activities. Miles of beach to walk on, especially good at low tide where a 100 yards of the beach is exposed. Owner is fabulous, help me set up day trips. Have to drive down a dirt road 3 miles to get to the resort. Again, isolated area.
thomas, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We felt like we had our own private beach at Clandestino. Our kids loved the pool and the pets (including a friendly raccoon named Pepper!). The food was very good and the service was top notch. The rooms were comfortable and the ac worked well. My daughter loved eating mangos from the mango tree all day. Would definitely recommend having a car as the secluded and private location could make getting a taxi difficult. We did day trips to Jaco and Manuel Antonio from clandestino. We had a really nice time and made lifetime memories with our kids at the resort.
Brent, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We brought our family to this resort. We have two children and they loved the pool, the dogs and the raccoon which are pets. You just cross the dirt road to the beach where we cut open coconuts and dipped our feet in the water. We really enjoyed the complementary breakfast. Food was fresh and tasty. We had one dinner there. It was expensive but it was tasty and there are no other restaurants in the area. The property is beautiful and peaceful. There are flowers everywhere. It is sort off the beaten path which we really enjoyed. Its not in a congested area. I would definitely recommend it.
