ALMA DEL PACIFICO HOTEL

We had a great stay at Alma Del Pacifico! Having never been to Esterillos we decided to take a ride down to see the area and the hotel before booking a room. They had a beachfront room available which we enjoyed very much. The hotel is roughly 20 years old and the rooms are showing some signs of needing upgrades but the grounds are well kept and beautiful and its hard to beat the beach front location. Esterillos beach is a beautiful black sand beach where you can walk for miles and we did just that! The property has 24 hour security as well which we greatly appreciated and wouldn't stay anywhere in Costa Rica without. The room on top of that also was equipped with a safe which we also appreciated and require on any of our stays in CR. We did enjoy the included breakfast at the resort - lovely CR style menu with eggs, fresh fruits, gallo pinto and delicious juices and Costa Rican Coffee. The staff is wonderful - we enjoyed the service a lot thoughout the hotel - smiles all around. We thought the lunch and dinner menu was a tad on the overpriced side so we only ate one of our additional meals at the hotel and chose to eat out for the other meals. The menu was also more of a Peruvian style -- nice but we were looking for some more authentic Costa Rican dishes - Casado's, etc - not on the menu. The main issue though was that it was overpriced for what it was. We would and likely will return to Alma Del Pacifico as we did enjoy our stay greatly. We also thought the hotel would be a great place for a larger group or retreat if we decided to get our friends or family for a trip in the future. The hotel has roughly 20 rooms with many of them beach front and some have their own small pools right on the patio - we would have loved one of those but they were all booked up! Next time! Pura Vida!

This is our “go to” hotel in Costa Rica. Living in Atenas we are only 1and 1/2 hours away. This hotel is an amazing work of art and craftsmanship. Read the history when yo arrive. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The shower is amazing! We love the staff and the service is excellent. They bend over backwards to accommodate. Their section of the beach is lined with plenty of palms and lounge chairs—no umbrellas needed. There are two pools both huge and great for swimming. You cannot go wrong staying at Alma del Pacifico

Excellent hôtel ainsi que le restaurant.

Horrible company to do business with! They are frauds! Be careful making a reservation, they do not abide by their own reservation cancellation rules.
We are dealing with a credit card dispute for hundreds of dollars in unauthorized charges from this hotel.
Book at your own risk!

Alma del Pacifico is a superb property. Each room is artistically appointed, has amazing indoor (and adjacent) outdoor shower. The staff is the most professional and accommodating anywhere! From initial contact with reservations, through check-in, check-out every facet of the hotel experience is flawless. You will be treated like royalty at this property.
