The vibe there was so relaxing. There was always a friendly staff member around to help if you needed anything. A nice touch with the basket of sunscreen lotion and beach towels to use. The fresh fruit, pastries and coffee set up in the morning was perfect to grab whenever you wanted whether you are an early-bird person or sleepy-head. We loved the lounging areas and especially the chairs to sit and watch the waves, swim or surf just steps from the gate. I also felt safe with the locked gate at night to the Main Street. We loved our stay and will be back.

Nothing to mention at all

Love coming to this hotel as the hospitality is always awesome from the office staff, Diego and Ehymus handling all the activities, to the cleaning staff that are on it, the massage tables on location with amazing masseuse, and the totally laid back courtyard. You get to meet all the guest if that's your style or just do your own thing. Best part is walking out the back gate to an incredible beach. It's very safe and secure.

It does tend to get noisy at night when you're trying to sleep. So, earplugs or a sound app for your earbuds would do the trick.

Was right on the beach and there was a very nice breeze because of it. The animals were cute and friendly. Owner was nice and always helped us accommodate our parking on street issue. Very chill vibe and not a lot of loud people stayed so it was nice and quiet at night. Rooms were very clean and beds were comfortable. AC was great too. Kitchen was small but manageable. Would gladly stay here again.

The shower would drop pressure at random times but still did the job. Not much we didn’t like about this place. Great stay.

Great, great location. Exactly what we wanted...a hotel on the beach. Very secure location, with wonderful hosts. The morning breakfast was fresh fruit, juice and baked goods. (I think there was coffee too, but I'm not a coffee drinker). I loved that we were so close to the downtown area (within walking distance) and found so many great places to eat and buy treats/snacks/ice cream. Would highly recommend this property!

you couldn’t ask for a better location. the hotel is located directly on the beach, with a beautiful garden to relax in if you’re not into lazing around on the sand. they offer outdoor massages and surfing lessons with locals. both were great experiences. TJ and Elena were great hosts and they have some very friendly rescue animals on the property. our room was perfect for crashing at night and the cleaning lady provided clean towels and fresh sheets every morning. there is a small community kitchen in the garden area and the provided breakfast of fruit, pastries and coffee is self serve throughout the morning. we had a very tough time leaving Villa Amarilla and can’t wait to come back!

we had an incredible stay overall but the last two days, the shower pressure was very low.

Location is great. Right on the beach on one side and main street with all shops and restaurants on the other side. What's not to like. You are in the centre of everything. Breakfast was nothing special. Not exactly breakfast but very nice muffins an cake. Fresh local fruit. I don't need anything more to be fair, therefore I was pretty pleased with the breakfast. Wonderful, friendly people at Hotel Villa Amarilla. Manager Elena extremely friendly and helpful. Will stop anything she is doing just to help, assist or provide you with information. Owner T.J. is wonderful host. Diego can book any trip, excursion you can imagine - right on the property. Two masseuse right on the property - next to the beach. Excellent massage. Eymhus and his team are excellent surf instructors, also right on the property. Hotel Villa Amarilla is one stop shop.

Place and people were great. No complains what so ever.

Delicious breakfast with fresh fruit and banana bread, beachfront hotel with cute cats on property. The hotel also offers free beach towels, sunscreen, and surf boards to borrow. The receptionist messaged us on WhatsApp ahead of time to see if needed anything or help prior to our stay and stayed in touch. It was thoughtful.

Hard to find parking in front of hotel. The receptionist did make an effort to keep a spot open for us.

loved the location and the staff. very homey feel of the place

the water pressure as well as the temperature were off at certain times a day but I am not sure if this is something that can be fixed or it’s a town issue. we had a little war with little flying bugs in our room as well. in the evening they would come into the room and just lounge on the wall and by then lights. we had issues with bugs in other places in Costa Rica as well and I know our in the nature it’s hard to avoid them sometimes. wish we knew where they were coming from to let the property manager know

Wonderful people, nice breakfast and amazing coffee! The perfect location, amenities and price for what we wanted. So cozy it was like you were the owner of the home on the beach. Full kitchen and parillios to cook if you wanted. Fresh snapper and lobster brought in each day from a local diver. Tour company rep on site. Massage therapist and surf school. Can’t wait to get back!

The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. They made sure we had a parking spot right outside the hotel even though it is just public street parking. They gave us a full tour when we arrived, were quick to answer all our questions, and accommodated our early check-in without any problems. The beachfront location and proximity to shops and restaurants was perfect! Would absolutely stay here again!
