Hotel is basic, very clean and staff is friendly and nice. Gorgeous views. A good place for 1-2 nights but would not stay longer there. Not much to do there.

My family of 4 (kids 11 & 13) spent 4 days at La Finisterra. The first thing you notice is the stunning view. The hotel is neatly designed and especially clean. The staff was extremely polite and the food was excellent. A friend who grew up in Costa Rica recommended we take tours through Mardigi Tours (Marvin & Digi Garcia)... More

We stayed at Hotel La Finisterra for the last five nights of our four week honeymoon and it was fantastic! Just what we needed to unwind after an action packed honeymoon travelling around a lot, staying in eight different places over the course of the four weeks. Whilst we were staying there we went and did two dives every morning... More

My husband and I stayed here in mid-February for four nights. This was meant to be the relaxing portion of our trip - soaking up the sun and lounging on the beach and by the pool. For the most part, we were successful, but I think if we did it over again, we probably would have stayed elsewhere. Let me... More

We made reservations just two days before from our hotel in Samara Beach. We reserved for our last three nights of our 11 days in Costa Rica. We had been in three Costa Rica hotels before Finisterra on our self made tour. We were welcomed by a very lukewarm and irritated front desk manager named Johnny. The position of the... More

My husband and I spent two nights at Hotel Finisterra to finish off a two week trip to Costa Rica. We knew that Hermosa is a small town so we were not expecting to have many options in terms of activities and nightlife. In retrospect I think Hermosa may have been a little too quiet for our taste. There are... More

We didn't stay at the hotel but we ate at the restaurant twice while we stayed at Playa Hermosa. So this review is only for the dinner at the restaurant. If you are looking for huge portions of hamburgers and chips, children’s menus , entertainment and over familiar waiters greeting you with Hi Guys – this is not your restaurant.... More

My boyfriend and I spent 3 nights here, and it was a great stay. Rooms are very basic, but clean (have AC, but no safe in the room). The patio overlooking Playa Hermosa was fantastic, great view. We enjoyed having happy hours drinks and relaxing and enjoying the view from the patio. The pool is very small, but the hotel... More

We went to the restaurant at Hotel La Finisterra for dinner one evening on recommendation from the concierge at our resort nearby. We did not stay at the hotel, so this is purely a review of the restaurant. The open are room is lovely, with gentle breezes blowing through the doorways and windows. The view of the bay below is...

Like many families, we have an 8 year old and a 5 year old and had not had a vacation together in over 8 years. A good friend of ours recommended Hotel La Finisterra. We arrived on Valentines Day, Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2012 and departed on Thursday, Feb. 23, 2012. My wife, Rebecca and I (David) were "very" impressed with... More
