My husband and I stayed at the Sandpiper Inn for 11 nights in February 2013. We had never been to Costa Rica before so we had a friend recommend a place. He recommended Sandpiper Inn in Playa Hermosa. My husband is an avid surfer so this was the perfect place for him. The water was warm and he surfed 3-4... More

Whether relaxing in one of the hammocks, or playing in the warm surf, I can't imagine a more peaceful, beautiful, fun-filled holiday. Lush, tropical plants, flowers and palms surround this small, quiet 8 room hotel, perfectly located just 30 steps from the stunning black sand beach. This is a surfers beach. My wife and I enjoyed 2 casual Saturday surf... More

This was the perfect location on the beach. It was quiet, walking distance to a couple good restaurants, and a local minimart (Costa Rican style) just two blocks up the road. I did not want to vacation in Jaco near the hustle and bustle of a tourist town, as I came to get away from that. Yet it was only... More

I just left the Sandpiper Inn after a three night stay. The Sandpiper is very peaceful and well located on a beautiful black beach that is not crowded. Sunsets are amazing. The hotel is within walking distance to restaurants, a small grocery store and a short taxi ride to the touristy town of Jaco. I rather like the idea of... More

It’s hard to know how to rate this hotel, other than our horrible experience with the owner Greg, who came across as so nice and accommodating on the phone. When he was standing outside our room with two one hundred dollar bills in his hand for two $80 rooms with no offer of change, and made the statement that he... More

The sandpiper is located on one of the worlds best surf beaches on a beautiful spot and with an owner that will go out of his way too make sure you have the best time while you're there. There are plenty of stuff to do close by like small mountain hikes, restaurants and its literally on a beautiful black sanded... More

I spent one night in sandpiper and it was full of relaxation with a paradise feeling. Location is so easy to find and once you enter you'll forget about all your prior worries. You walk into beautiful layout right on a breathtaking beach set up with hammocks, nature and sound of the waves; not to mention the owner is a... More

In the last 6 years, I have traveled to dozens of countries, and have stayed in all sorts of accommodations - from dorm-style hostels to 5 star luxury resorts. I can honestly say that I have never experienced the level of customer service and comfort that I had at the Sandpiper. When we first made the reservations, my companion and... More

The Sandpiper is a great spot. It's right on the beach in Hermosa, which makes it awesome already. It's a great place to go if you're all about the beach; it might be a bit too spartan for those looking for luxury. There's not a restaurant anymore, but there are a tons of places to eat nearby that are really... More
