Beware of booking thru website without actually seeing the place. Rooms are very out dated, plumbing doesnt drain in shower, no hot water, bad locks on door, no security, its OK if you are there with the guys but I brought my Girl Friend from LA and she was not happy with the conditions. like I said, great website but old and outdated in real life. save yourself the hassel and go a few minutes to Playa Tamarindo, the Best western has a few condos in the hills and on the beach for about the same price and all have nice amenities. These &^%$#^& told me that they had internet access for my laptop via wi fi. just so happened that it didnt work the week I was there.. I decided to cut my stay to 2 nights and they were to credit my amex for 2 nights as I paid for 4...no credit yet... dishonest...buyer beware.

This was our first trip to Costa Rica. Our experience turned out to be exceptional! Upon arrival we rented a SUV and drove to the Bahia Del Sol hotel. What an experience! The road leading to this lovely hotel is made of dirt so your first impression is what have we done. The hotel staff greeted us with complimentary drinks upon check-in and escorted us to our room. We were so close to the ocean we could hear the waves crashing from inside the room. A few steps away was a georgous pool with a swim up bar. The food at the hotel was excellent and the drinks exceptionally good. The complimentary breakfast was excellent and very filling with eggs, banana pancakes, rice, and fresh fruit - just a few of he selections. I can not express enough gratitude to the staff and people of Costa Rica everyone went out of their way to make us feel welcome.
If you are looking to take some tours ask the hotel to hook you up with Yohan. He will take excellent care of you.

Recommendations - a rental car is necessary the drive from Libera airport to the hotel is about an hour and a half. You will need to drive to get to resturants other than the hotel. The closest town is Tamerindo.

We spent 9 nights in Costa Rica. I highly recommend it to those who are looking for romance, adventure, and relaxation.

Recomended tours: Arienal volcano & spa, river boat, horseback riding, and zip lines.

After driving down a dirt road in darkness for 20 minutes, we had no idea what to expect. What a wonderful surprise! At our arrival, we were greeted by most of the hotel staff, who introduced themselves and brought us cocktails. The small hotel was so quiet, we felt we had the place to ourselves. Rooms very comfortable, pool, restaurant and bar all excellent. The lovely stretch of beach expanse was just steps from the pool. And again, we shared with virtually no one. The chef prepared a very tasty meal of fish caught on a fishing trip and each staff member went out of their way to make our stay outstanding! Some great restaurants nearby as well.

My wife and I just returned from our Honeymoon in Costa Rica, and I have to say, our stay at Bahia Del Sol was absolutely the best hotel experience either of us has ever had. I was a little concerned due to a couple so-so reviews in the previous months, but apparently the hotel just got a new manager (Marvin), who had just started when we got there in July, and it was clear he really wanted to turn this into a top-notch resort. He went out of his way to make sure that my wife and I were taken care of every step of the way.

We signed up through our travel agent for the Reflection Of Sea romance package which is offered directly on Bahia Del Sol's website at www.potrerobay.com. I signed up at the last minute for this package, so the travelagency never sent the request to the hotel. Right at check-in when Marvin found out that I wanted this package that the hotel was never informed about, he went out of his way to ensure that I got a version of this package that should have been 10 times the price. First he gave me a whole bunch of free drink tickets to go sit by the pool while they decorated the room with all sorts of romantic decorations, antipasti, salad, win, flowers, etc. They included every dinner, in which we ordered WHATEVER we wanted, and were not charged for anything, ever. Finally, since the package says "1 Romantic Dinner" Marvin asked me if I wanted a private table set up right on the beach, which was beautiful. We were given our own personal waiter, lobster bisque, a mixed dish of seafood and filet mignon, chocolate cake, coffee, wine.....it was all incredible. The food at the restaurant hotel was perfect. All of it was great. When it came time to leave, he offered to have someone drive us the 45 minutes to Liberia airport, but we had rented a car already.

In addition to the incredible personal service, and the great manager. This hotel is in such a beautiful, isolated location. The hotel is far away from all the chaos at the other side of the bay in Play Flamingo, and the beach around Bahia Del Sol is deserted. The hotel sits right up on the beach, the sunsets are gorgeous, and the best part is since its such a small hotel, the vast majority of the time you really feel like you have the entire hotel/pool/beach to yourself.

This was just an amazing amazing place, and the best hotel experience of my life.

THANK YOU BAHIA DEL SOL!!!!
