There are no hotels directly on Playa Carrillo, a beautiful palm lined beach in the south west Nicoya about 15 minutes from Samara. All hotels in the Playa Carrillo area are along the main road and I would say require a car to get to. El Sueno Tropical is set in the hills and surrounded by a beautiful garden. The rooms are located in little bungalows scattered along the property and the pool, restaurant and bar are at the top of the hill. The pool area is a lovely oasis with really comfy padded, reclining chairs. The restaurant and bar had excellent service and the bartender is happy to walk over and serve you at the pool. The front desk attendants were very helpful and planned all our activities for us. The food at the restaurant was very very good. Breakfast is included and the coffee (made fresh with steamed milk - con leche- if you desire) was probably the best morning coffee we had in our 3 week vacation in CR. The bungalows were extremely spacious, had safes and CD players equipt with a CD of easy listening music. The beds were comfortable but firm. Rooms have all bamboo furniture with brightly colored accents. The water in this area was tricky to get really hot but your in Costa Rica - who cares?More
