Stayed for just 1 night on route further south and we were sorry it was not a few more nights. Right on the beach, clean with great staff who are there to help. Pool small but, lovely and well kept. Access to the beach right on property and ideal for surfers. Would highly recommend.

I stayed at Backyard Hotel in Hermosa Beach for five days. The property is beautiful, the rooms are clean, and the staff is very courteous and helpful. The service is top notch. Safety is not a concern here as they have security staffed over night. The surf is right out front and Hermosa is very consistent so you are likely to score without having to drive to any other breaks. I stayed on the top floor, ocean front and the balcony view is absolutely amazing. Due to covid the restaurant was closed so I cannot rate that.

This place is pure paradise. The pool was lovely; the beach access is immediate and stunning; the sunsets are perfect. My wife and 5-year-old daughter loved the amenities and the proximity to numerous eateries and the cityof Jaco.

The Backyard Hotel is the BEST and AMAZING! My boyfriend and I first traveled together to CR back in August of 2019. We were only staying in Playa Hermosa for two nights and the first night did NOT work out. We ended up switching hotels for the second night and remembered stumbling upon this adorable and well maintained boutique hotel on the first day so we went back there to just check on a price for one night. The ladies at the front desk are ALWAYS so accommodating and very friendly. We ended up staying there for one night and absolutely loved it. We came back this February 2020 for my birthday and ending up staying for 4 nights with friends and had a wonderful time. The hotel is very clean, nicely kept, friendly staff, beautiful views of ocean and pool area, 24/7 security, the list could go on! The location is also very convenient as being located directly on the beach and walkable to not only the Backyard Bar next door, but also many restaurants and bars along the sand. A short 5 minute drive to Jaco for a bigger city vibe too! Last thing to note is that the ladies on Staff (I’m sure team effort) but Ani & Patricia helped us coordinate a last day trip to Tortuga Island (almost couldn’t get on the boat!) and welcomed me with a sweet decorated room with balloons and card as a surprise when we returned! They are the best and we will always stay here when we travel to CR!…

Backyard Hotel is right on Playa Hermosa beach. It has a small pool, great bar, and a nice restaurant with patio. The rooms were clean with minimal amenities. It had AC and a small fridge which was nice. The hotel was walking distance to other hotels and bars along this strip. The staff was very friendly, and there was onsite security at night. Surfing at this beach is fantastic. Know your limits, it can get big.
