We loved our recent stay at The Place in Mal Pais. The staff were amazing from beginning to end and our breakfast was so fresh and delicious. It was also very quiet this time of the year so we had plenty of opportunity to explore the area. We also loved the Bananna Bar where we met great new friends.

The Place far exceeded our expectations. From our arrival to our departure we were treated like family. The staff was welcoming and we loved our private bungalow. Graciela and Nacho helped us with whatever we needed, from delicious breakfasts, a 4-wheeler, to a couples massage, they lined it all up for us with smiles. They helped make sure our honeymoon...

The hotel is beautiful, the location is great, and the staff was friendly. That said, there were a few things that left my girlfriend and I a bit disappointed as we splurged on this hotel thinking it would be the nicest of our stays while in Costa Rica. The cons: I paid for the private balcony upgrade but that's just... More
