Hotel and location, great. Restaurant service REALLY POOR AND BAD. Waiter and waitress really bad. Specially blonde lady. Hotel location and beach are amazing. Rather be at the beach that the pool. Overall the worst thing was the restaurant service, will not split accounts, rudeness on every service and worst manners when ordering, had almost to scream to receive service,... More

This place is small and the perfect location. Another plus is they have a gated area for your cars. That was a bonus. The pool was fun and so were all the iguanas. The restaurant attached was just ok and don't go there on a Wednesday night because it is Ladies Night and the place is so loud, no sleep... More

This hotel is a nice small size, is very safe, has a great pool and is the best place to go on Saturdays or any night for sunset. The grounds are well manicured and the property and rooms are well thought out. The beds are excellent; super comfortable! The staff is very trustworthy and the rooms are reasonably clean. The...

My boyfriend and I stayed here for about a week. Towards the end we actually ended up booking two more nights because we loved it so much. The hotel was clean and we had a great view. The place is small and quiet which we loved. The views were spectacular, the pool was divine and relaxing and its proximity to... More

Rooms on the first floor have direct access to the pool, and the ones on the second floor have a nice balcony. On Saturday's afternoons it's the place to be to see the surfers do their best! The only con was that... More

I didn't stay at the Backyard hotel. I went there for Ladies' night and the bar is awesome! The music was fantastic, the drinks were delicious, not to mention FREE for the ladies. It's all open so it's really hot and we sweat a lot dancing our butts off hehe. If you're a girl, don't expect the Ticos to hit... More

We stayed here on our last night in CR because it was only 90 minutes from the airport. It was off season so we did not have a reservation. I only wish we could have stayed longer because this hotel is so clean and more updated than all of the other hotels in Hermosa. I know because we asked to... More

Great rooms! Excellent location right on the beach! Easy access to local surf breaks! Close to Jaco without the Jaco congestion. I have driven past this hotel for years and never thought to stop. I will be back to my new favorite hotel near Jaco!

We stayed at backyard hotel on the advice of a friend of a friend. We have been to Costa Rica several times. We had lunch in Jaco a couple years ago and had wanted to come back and see more of the area. This little hotel is a couple miles from Jaco's hustle. It is one of 5 or 6... More
