Hotel Villa del Sueño

This was the first place we stayed on our honeymoon in Costa Rica. We wanted a place near the beach that was not too far from Liberia Airport. This hotel fit the bill perfectly. The reception was very friendly and helpful. Willing to explain anything in English or Spanish. We enjoyed how everyone was willing to help us with our Spanish, as we are trying our best to learn and practice more. We have to give special thanks to the wonderful employee Ronny who gave us the warmest welcome to Costa Rica and felt like a friend right away. We hope to return again one day and chat again! We loved the style of our room and the comfortable temperature and bed, as well as the spacious bathroom/shower. Lots of place to hang and stores clothes or let them dry out after swimming or being in the rain. One of the best parts was being a few minute walk from the nearby beach - Playa Hermosa, which lives up to its name. Wonderful view, sand, and small waves. There is also a swimming pool on site which was great to enjoy especially on a quiet night. The restaurant staff cooks up some great breakfast and dinner, we loved starting the day with a filling plate of Gallo Pinto. Sitting on the grounds you will encounter a ton of birds and possibly some lizards and passing families of monkeys. The staff also helped us book a dinner boat tour nearby which was a ton of fun- we highly reccomend that.

The breakfast is good. Not a buffet , an individual meal no meat but tasty. Nice pool.. boutique style not a beachfront. I was solicited for illicit drugs and hounded to order meals. The meals at dinner were small and flavorful snd expensive .not a hotel for children. Couple friendly.

Pros were clean rooms, a lovely property with lush landscaping and pools, and friendly and helpful staff. Cons were very few: our “junior suite” was not in fact a suite - just one room. And the food at the restaurant was very good, but a somewhat overpriced - and as there are few options for eating in Playa Hermosa, the cost added up.
