We had two rooms during our stay and they both had an excellent views to the pool and beach. We had to switch rooms becouse on our third night there was a plumbing issues in the restroom. The staff was so nice and accomodating and for switching rooms they did not charge us for the mini bar food we consumed. Highly recommend !! Definetly will stay here next time I visit Playa hermosa.

While we stayed here, we were working remotly and the wifi was very good someday and then other days horrible. So it was kinda unpredictable,. We manage to work fine but just fyi ask if there are wifi issues.

We loved our stay at The Backyard Beachfront after reading the reviews we were second guessing our stay because the most complaint was nothing was close to the hotel. Two restaurants walking distance on the beach which was beautiful, every hotel we went to after leaving we compared it to that stay if/when we go back we will be taking my parents with us to this hotel. Chelsie was very helpful by email, WhatsApp and personally. She booked our transportation from airport, Manual Antonio tour and to a San Jose hotel. Our trip didn’t start out as planned we missed our connecting flight losing a day in Costa Rica our tour was supposed to start in the morning but our flight wouldn’t arrive in time, after working with Chelsie she was able to reschedule our tour for that afternoon. If it wasn’t for her we would have lost our money and no tour.

Beautiful view, nice pool, relaxing and cozy. Bed was comfortable, AC was working well. Rooms were clean. Views from balcony great.

Might be noisy because of the road. Hotel can’t do much with it. If you are sensitive take your earplugs with you :) Note for the hotel: you should have earplugs available for your guests at the reception in case they want it. Little item which may save you annoyed sensitive guests.

Location, pool was bigger than I thought, fid T try it out but looked clean and had some massage stteams Restaurant near by was good Right at the beach Right on the road, easy to find I loved the bed but they were a bit too soft for my son and husband

No staff after 18h except security Noise of trucks passing by Bathroom and furniture very basic but hairdryer worked well

Everything except the prices for every little thing.

Patricia immediately telling me in a not so nice tone that I had booked for only 2 people. We had our 16 year old daughter who I did put on my reservation through booking.com, $80.00 extra for the 2 nights. The room was a quadruple room with a King bed and a Queen bed yet I supposedly booked it for only 2. Ridiculous. Then $60.00 more for 2 Chihuahua's. None of this was on the site. Never again. We were the only guest in the entire hotel. Complete rip off for a Tuesday and Wednesday night. My wife's birthday was ruined. We were going to stay an extra night but were quoted $170.00. So Hasta la Vista.

Convenient to the airport right on the water and restaurants to walk to

Sewage truck pumping out septic tank on arrival. Not the most pleasant smell walking in to a hotel Again with that said seems like the problem was solved within a hour so no big deal

beachfront with a nice pool and accommodations

2 coffee pods are given free each night, however it is not recommended to use the tap water and you must pay for the provided bottles… make sure you bring your own water.

Beautiful location, clean pool. Large rooms with huge balcony and view. Preferred being on Playa Hermosa rather than in Jaco, quiet beach, we loved the sound of crashing waves, and enjoyed delicious food at restaurants a few doors down.

The views were incredible. Small hotel that made you feel at home. Very clean. Huge rooms.

A little far from Jaco, but peaceful and safe.

Spectacular oceanfront location -- fantastic views and adjacent to a nature preserve and a quick walk to several restaurants (VIDA HERMOSA and BOWIE'S were our favorites.) Property was so well-kept . . . inside and out. Very relaxed vibe. Friendly staff. Excellent in-room coffee (Britta)

We were sad Backyard Bar & Restaurant had closed because on-site place is always nice, but it was actually something we appreciated later . . . our hotel was really a quiet oasis, and it was so close to lots of bars, food, etc. and short ride to Jaco, too.
