“Great Hotel!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

We stayed here for 2 nights on our way down the coast from Playas del Coco to Samara. The hotel and service here are top notch. Upon arrival we were greeted with a refreshing smoothie and an awesome lunch (try the fresh tuna melt). There is a great little pool right in the middle of the very lush courtyard that was nice and felt great to jump in and cool down. The room was cozy and the bed the most comfortable we had out of our 3 hotels. Bathroom is basic but clean and has all the necessities you need. Breakfast was good and we really enjoyed the fresh baked bread, coffee, and juices. We opted to pay for the $2 breakfast special each day, one day pancakes the other eggs and gallo pinto, both were tasty. Dinner was fantastic and we couldn’t stop talking about how good the guacamole was (best we had in Costa Rica). We booked a snorkel sunset cruise through the hotel on Seabird and had a great time. I highly recommend going. The bartender David invited my girlfriend and I to a big beach party later that night and we had a great time hanging with him and his local friends. Simon and Hilda were very accommodating and we really felt like we were at home. If you are considering visiting the Brasilito/Conchal area and want an intimate, affordable, place to stay I would recommend staying at the Conchal Hotel.

Room Tip: Ask for a room away from the road.

“Family Feeling”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2013

You enter a tropical paradise, flowering plants all around. Then you are welcomed by Simon and Hilda who treat you like family. Fruit picked fresh everyday, tasting nothing like our market selections, sweet and juicy. Relaxing in the upstairs shade or sun poolside. Everyone making sure to fulfill your every need. Costa Rica laid back lifestyle. You can't get better than this.

Room Tip: Rooms 1&2 are the best, farther from civilization.

“Our Favorite Place!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

Myself and my fiance have stayed at Conchal Hotel often. We generally travel the countryside while in Costa Rica, and love to start our holiday here. We usually stay 2 to 5 nights here. This is a hotel like no other, the ambiance is very loving and charming. We love to start our day with breakfast upstairs, drinking coffee and checking our email. Hanging out in the gardens and swimming in the pool is so relaxing. The evening meals here are outstanding, and very personal. The rooms reflect an intimate style and feel so tropical. Simon and Hilda have become very dear to us, such gentle souls they are. We have chosen Conchal Hotel and Simon and Hilda for our wedding.

Brasilito is a small community and affords us the experience of the culture of Costa Rica. Conchal Beach is our very favorite place in the entire country!

“Highly recommend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

We stayed at Conchal Hotel for a week over Christmas 2012. Such an awesome and relaxing place and in a very laid-back area of Costa Rica. Ideal if you want a quiet getaway. The food was the best we had in the country and Simon and Hilda were awesome hosts. Look no further.

“A tranquil oasis”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2013

We just spent six relaxing days at the Conchal Hotel, and it was just what the doctor ordered. Simon and Hilda are genial, accommodating hosts who provide a laid back, extremely comfortable experience at their cozy little hotel. The most striking feature is the tropical garden
(a beautiful contrast to the scrubby vegetation of the Guanacaste coast) that surrounds the pool in the central courtyard, which is ideal for cooling off and unwinding after a day at the beach. If you check out some of the older pictures on their TA review page, you can see how much work they've put into it over the years.

Our room was spacious with ample shelf space, a large shower with plenty of hot water and pressure, and a huge, very comfortable bed. The only drawback was that parts of the room were dark, especially around the closet, so it would definitely benefit from another light or two.

The complementary breakfast provided a good start to the day with coffee, tea and a variety of fresh fruit, juices, cereal, and delicious homemade breads (be sure to try the banana muffins--yum!). If you're especially hungry, for $2 you can add, depending on the day, gallo pinto with eggs, an omelet, or pancakes. If you're staying there on a Saturday, the seafood BBQ is an absolute must. They just began doing it, and for $25 you get all the rock lobster, shrimp, fish, and chicken you can eat, along with baked potatoes and a variety of salads. As an added bonus, Simon speared many of the fish himself, so they were about as fresh as it gets.

Other benefits to staying here is the hotel's proximity to the only ATM in town and Super Lopez, which is the largest and best stocked grocery in Brasilito.

If you're planning to spend time in Brasilito, this is definitely the place to do it, and we look forward to staying there again.
