Not a fan. The air in the room is musty smelling. Had fruit flies and other buys. The swarm of termites took it over the top for me, ready to go. The restaurants food was poor, some food was barely warm. The buffet was the best place to eat. The pool is awesome. I have a balcony full of termites.

In reply to Samantha Haddock. Hi! Absolutely safe to do all of those things. The only caveat is that I would make beach time in the early morning and before sunset as the sand does get really hot during the day. ~Christa

Hi,
Hope you are well?
I have just come across your review and it has been so helpful as I am thinking of booking this hotel. Everything looks fab- pools, entertainment, staff, excursions, rooms, food etc… the only thing that I am slightly nervous about is the beach. I know you touched on the beach in your review but I just wondered if there was anything extra you could tell me at all? Basically we will be travelling with our 3 year old daughter and my sister and husband who have a 1 and a 4 year old. I noticed you travelled with children too so hope you don’t mind me asking… I understand it is black sand but do you think it’s safe to sit on the beach, build sandcastles, play in the sand etc as toddlers love to do? Any advise much appreciated. Thanks Samantha

In reply to Surin. I don't think they charge- usually 3 and under are free. ~Christa

Does PH Costa Rica charge for a one and three year old to stay and eat? This is not for the Star class upgrade. I’ve been told it’s an average of $70US per night for kids being added to the reservation. Just don’t know the age that’s applicable.

In reply to Liisa. Maybe I'll see you there! I would say yes to the boats. No to boogie board- maybe to snorkel but not great. If you want to check out other places I'd def rent a car- which you do need to do at the Liberia airport. Thank you for commenting! ~Christa

Going there as well in a couple of weeks, so there are boats on the beach at PH will they take you to other beaches or snorkel sites? Can you snorkel or boogie board off the ocean at PH wasn’t sure what the water was like. i’d like to check out Coco Beach and Tamarindo area will the boats take you there? There is no where at PH to rent a car you have to do it at the airport right?

Hi! I think you can totally rent a car and do your own thing and it will be about the same price as one tour at PH. They have really overpriced tours. I don’t know of tour companies in that area, unfortunately. I would recommend trying to go to Playa Nacascolo while you are there! https://puravidamoms.com/playa-nacascolo-beach-costa-rica/
As for the boats, honestly, there are guys on the beach at PH that will do that for you, you can just go down and talk to them. Make sure they have insurance and lifejackets, however.

Hi, I just read your review. We are heading to the PH in Costa Rica in a few weeks and want to do some tours. However, the ones offered at PH are all with early morning starts and for full days. Do you know any reputable tour companies that do half day tours or would it be safe to get a car and do our own thing? We also heard of someone hiring a boat to take them to some beaches in the vicinity. Do you know how we could arrange that? Any advice would be appreciated?
Thanks very much,.
