Reviews of Yucca Beachfront Hotel

Clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast place right in front of the hotel.

Very loud at night (you could hear the music in a beach bar nearby as if it was in your room).

Location and views/proximity to beach

Nothing

We stayed 2 nights in 2 different rooms - double with sea view and disability access room - what was available for our dates. Rooms are clean, with fine beds, proper bathrooms, hot water, safe boxes. Fridges in rooms and beach towels at the reception are very appreciated. The photos on booking.com are accurate, some of outdoor furniture has been upgraded. There is also a shared terrace with a little kitchen - microwave, tools and dishes, coffee pot, several tables with the sea view - nice and convenient. Double Room-Disability Access is right behind the kitchen terrace, so I'd say it has a limited sea view via the kitchen. This room is bigger than a double room with the sea view. It has it's own outdoor seating area, too. All in all we liked it better. The hotel crew is very kind and helpful. The hotel was quiet, the main activity happened in the morning at the coffee pot.

The sea view is great but as you can see on the photos that outdoor areas are not private - people pass there. The beach is not good for swimming cause of the rocks. For the beach I recommend to walk further or take a 10-min taxi / Uber to Punta Uva beach. In our room No 9 a mosquito net was broken in the bathroom - it was a disaster with mosquitos in the night. Wifi is spotty yet works fine in the kitchen / close to the reception.

Wonderful location on the beach front and easy walk to all the restaurants and cafes. Spent many hours on the beach and taking the little beach front walking track through the forest and glimpsed monkeys and a sloth.

Great Value for money

Clean, safe, well located

The beach is so close

The parking is a lottery, there are not enogh space

Loved the garden/sea view. We got to see sloths 3 days in a row (once there was one on the top of the kitchenet cupboard. The bathroom facilities were very good as was the services to the room. The staff were the very best part of Yucca... fabulous! The location is the very best. in the hub of things but outside the noise factor.

Very much in need of a change of matrice which had seen better days. The pillows were also too high (but that may just be that we like a flat pillow). Other than that I would definitely recommend the hotel.

We stayed in 2 different rooms at this hotel because we liked it so much we extended our stay. Both rooms were amazing, very clean, very comfortable, large, with great bathrooms. One room opened up onto the seafront with its own hammock outside the door, the other opened out to a covered area with small kitchen and tables. Both rooms were quiet and peaceful with beds with good mattresses. The staff were kind and helpful. Opposite the hotel was the best cafe/bistro in the town where we enjoyed brilliant breakfasts. The location was perfect.

There was nothing we didn't like!

Disappointed Stay – Great Location, But Not Much Else We recently stayed here hoping for a cozy holiday hideout in Puerto Viejo, but unfortunately, it fell short in several important ways. Let’s start with the positive: the location is absolutely amazing — close to the beach and all the local hotspots. But sadly, that’s where the highlights end. The room itself felt bland, not very tidy, and lacked any sense of comfort or warmth. If you’re looking for a charming, relaxing place to unwind, this might not be it. One of the biggest downsides was the constant presence of mosquitoes in the room — and while Costa Rica does promise incredible wildlife experiences, I didn’t expect to get one inside our bedroom. Not exactly the kind of close encounter we were hoping for. The bathroom needs some serious maintenance: the toilet flush often didn’t work, and the shower water pressure was so low it could barely be called a shower — more of a light drizzle, really. We found ourselves avoiding the room as much as possible — taking turns at a nearby bar while the other used the bathroom. Not exactly the relaxing couple’s trip we imagined. On top of that, the bed was uncomfortable, and I left with a sore back after just one night. That said, the staff was friendly and polite, which we appreciated. Overall, I think the place is overpriced for what it offers — there are much better value-for-money options in Puerto Viejo that offer comfort along with charm.

Right on the water. Best spot in all of puerto! So peaceful out back and restaurants just 30 second walk to the right. You have to go to the bakery too if you’re staying here. Best coffee and breakfast, hands down.

Perfect location on the edge of the busiest area, but any easy walk to everything. The rooms had a small patio that faced the ocean, where you could listen to the waves rolling in. The communal kitchen was a bonus.

Had noisy neighbours one night. Ear plugs could be a good idea.

Could see the ocean. Right downtown

No AC. No tv. Needs some TLC

Perfect location both for beach and resort

Great location with being able to sit outside the room and look at the beach. Right amongst cafes and restaurants and very walkable apart from no footpaths.

We were there on a Saturday night and there was extremely loud music close by. We had to use earplugs to get any sleep.

Location, staff, garden, size of the room.

Problems with electiricity, water, shower head - they all got resolved though. The bed is extremely uncomfortable, the mattress is long time due to be replaced. The floor needs a thorough scrubbing.
