Bahia Esmeralda is the perfect place for a family getaway. We relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful amenities, amazing pool, and stunning gardens. The sounds of nature—iguanas, hummingbirds, various birds, and even monkeys waking us up each morning—were incredible. The delicious breakfast and pleasant walks to the beautiful beaches of Penca and Prieta were highlights of our stay, along with strolls and dining at nearby restaurants. The place is immaculately clean and relaxing. We especially loved the two friendly cats, Kiko and Smoking, who added a special charm to our experience. The staff, particularly Rosemary, were exceptional, going above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. From serving wonderful typical Tico breakfasts to providing top-notch tourist tips, they ensured we had the best “PURA VIDA” experience. Highly recommend Bahia Esmeralda!

We loved the landscaping and the very clean pool. Our room was made up each time we asked; very nice.
We wish there were hammocks, pepper at breakfast, a bar.
The cats are special

I normally don’t write negative reviews but … you couldn’t pay me to stay at Bahia Esmeralda ever again. Should be called Bahia Pura Hormigas.
Property looks nice in the pictures but unfortunately we couldn’t wait to leave this place. Terrible customer service. Terrible breakfast. Terrible insect problem. Terrible beds. Needs a lot of maintenance.
Our room was full of bugs; particularly a ridiculous amount of large ants to the point where we didn’t feel comfortable sleeping under the covers or leaving our clothes out of our suitcases. And the beds were very uncomfortable and mattress was super thin.
I could’ve dealt with the insects if the rest was good but it wasn’t. My family is from CR so I get that it’s a rainforest and can deal with some critters, but it was that bad.
On top of it all the management was incredibly rude to my family, including my senior mom and gave us a hard time for the silliest things. We even got scolded for having my brother drop us off and assist my mom to the room while we carried stuff. And, after commenting on the treatment received, we were approached and confronted by staff. Super unprofessional and uncomfortable.
The only positive was outside the rooms where the pool is is nice but we didn’t even use the pool during our 3 night stay because we avoided the hotel as much as possible.
Do yourself a favor and pay a little extra to stay elsewhere.

Staff and service were excellent with everything. Very clean and well maintained. Quiet. Nice typical breakfast, if not much variety. Dining area has a nice new bar but it was never open. Would have been nice to have a place to sit and have a drink.
Car is needed. Las Brisas was only walkable dining option, great local place. Good thing we liked it.
