“I hope I can stay here again!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2013

We had the apartment, with only two people, it does sleep at least 4. The apartment is VERY spacious, living room and separate (huge) bedroom, however it is towards the back, with no view. It is 'muy tipico', simple, clean and comfortable. Kitchen had everything you would want for simple needs. It is not luxurious, but the air conditioners are good and quiet, with remotes. Sometimes, there was no hot water, but it was not uncomfortably cold, either.
The location is excellent, on a beautiful clean unspoiled beach with lots of manzanillo trees. Not a good surfing beach, but GREAT for bathing in the sea or walking. Beach is clean and safe. Hotel is safe. The ever present owner is keeping a sharp eye for everything going on there and is available for whatever you might need, but is not intrusive. There are beautifully pruned shade trees and a lovely, clean pool. A place to wash off all your sandy feet and shoes. Grassy area between pool patio and beach walkway. Lots of Ticos stay here with well behaved little kids. The place is usually very quiet, but one night they had a party and got loud. It was fun to hear them having such a good time. It did not go on too late. It was fun. The restaurant is very good. Simple Spanish fare, mostly. Fresh fish, naturally! Very nice view from the restaurant open covered patio The staff was very pleasant, always cheerful. The gardener is always there, sweeping and pruning. It felt very safe. The whole area felt safe. We went walking all over. Lovely. I would definitely come back. I hope that will happen. Thank you, Felix, and hope your injury is better now.

Room Tip: I liked our apartment, which was separate building, towards the back, but lights from the street did...

“Great location directly on the beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 26, 2013

What a great location for the price you are getting! Stayed at this hotel in January of this year. The other hotels that are right near the place are charging like two to three times the price as this little hotel. More like a home type setting but directly on the beach. Is a really great value! The owner is really nice and friendly. My friends and I would just walk right out onto the black sand and layout and play in the water. Was a great location for just hanging out and relaxing. The Wifi is only good when in the dining area or sitting on the couches just watching the ocean. Really glad I booked this place. Bring your own beach towels since towels aren't provided except for one bath towel each! ENjoy!

“Hotel Villa Belmar (Sevilla Resort)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2013

We spent Christmas at Villa Belmar having booked it from London. We arrived to be greeted by Felix who despite a very bad back was ever present in the communal area of the hotel. He was always available to offer information and assistance.

On Christmas Eve, he organised a meal for all the guests (free), staff and a few other people. It was very informal and friendly. On Christmas day, he organised a snorkelling boat trip; again free. In a country where everyone is chasing the tourist dollar, this made a pleasant change !

The rooms are spacious and clean. You walk through the hotel gardens (swimming pool and loungers and trees for shade) and you are on the beach. Very few of the hotels in Playa Hermosa have such a great location.not to mention a friendly owner. If you come to Hermosa, stay here.

“Great everything”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

We had two nights on 24 and 25 December 2012 in this great hotel on the quiet beach of Hermosa. The Spanish owner Felix was really friendly and helpful and could not do enough for us despite him having a really bad back after falling down the stairs. There was a free BBQ and boat trip on Xmas day which he didnt have to do. The hotel itself is not big which again is nice and had big spacious clean rooms. We loved staying here and great to start or end your holiday here especially if you are flying in/out of Liberia. Would definitely recommend it and go back.

“Best Hotel in Playa Hermosa”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 14, 2012

We found Villa Belmar by accident and what a happy accident it was! Firstly I must just say how nice and helpful Felix, the owner, is. He really could not have been more helpful we felt extremely welcome and could not have hoped for a better host.

The Hotel itself is an absolute gem, the rooms are comfortable and clean and if you are lucky enough to get a room at the front there is an amazing ocean view but even if you don't, the ocean is so close it doesn't matter and the pool is warm and clean.

In terms of value for money, Felix's hotel cannot be beaten. The rooms are big and have A/C and a delicious breakfast is included with coffee and juice.

We spent several happy evenings hanging out on the terrace couches speaking Spanglish with Felix.

Stay at this hotel, you will not regret it.

Thanks Felix for a great time.

Room Tip: Call to book as early as possible because this hotel is extremely popular. We were lucky to get a ro...
