We are just planning our next trip to the wonderful country of Costa Rica. We visited the Tambor area last year and stayed at the Costa Coral a quaint 10 room Boutique Hotel. We had never been to Costa Rica but had heard a lot of great things about the country. We landed in Liberia after several hours of flying,... More

My girlfriend's and I decided to go away for the weekend. We stayed at the Hotel Costa Coral and we were delighted. One of my friends is in a wheel chair and surprisingly, the hotel is pretty wheel chair accessible and what ever area that wasn't the staff was very helpful. The hotel staff are fabulous! They go beyond the... More

Having stayed at the Costa Coral for the fifth time, I would have no hesitation in recommending the hotel to others. For me, their location in Tambor is ideal. It's central for all of the locations that I like visit while on the Nicoya Peninsula. The hotel is well maintained, and is kept spotless. The rooms are always clean and... More

It is my dream to someday live in Tambor Costa Rica. I fell in love on my first visit in 2007 where I stayed at The Costa Coral. Since then about 10 more visits, always staying at The Costa Coral. I've travelled a lot in my day but never would I have believed there was such a majestik tropical heaven... More

Hotel Costa Coral is a Gem in the middle of a fabulous country. I have been to this hotel five different times in the past 3 years. I have been to top hotels in North America and Europe and Hotel Costa Coral offers as good if not better service, food and amneties. This is a Luxurious Boutique Hotel that will... More

From reading the latest reviews, it looks like Exotic Escapes screwed over Hotel Costa Coral -- and the hotel is now being subjected to negative reviews as a result of this Groupon deal. Before the deal, the hotel received mainly 5 stars and seems to have been one of the best in the area. I traveled to Hotel Costa Coral... More

We stayed one night at the Costa Coral and promptly checked out the next morning. You could not pay me to stay here again. They charge $200.00+ a night for a boutique hotel-which is insane on its own. The hotel is in a weird location-and the beach nearby is pretty gross. Pictures/and description are incredibly misleading. The hotel owner has... More

I believe we were one of the last Groupon parties to be picked up at San Jose Airport. Much to our relief another couple was also waiting for the promised prepaid shuttle. That 3 hour ride was the best part of the package as our driver took us via a very scenic route before taking the necessary highway to Puntarenas.... More

I purchased a Groupon package through Exotic Escapes, and like several other reviewers, was left at the airport with my daughter with no transportation. After finding a taxi for the trip (2 hours, then a 1 hour ferry, then another 45 min cab), we arrived at this beautiful resort to find that Exotic Escapes had never paid for any part... More

Upon arrival to the airport the Costa Coral shuttle was no where to be found. We found ourselves abandoned in a country, thousands of miles away from home, where we didn’t speak the language. A man Costa Rican man let us use his phone to call the hotel and then talked to them himself because the man at the hotel... More
