Reviews of Casa Sueca Hotel - At the Beach

Quite clean and the onsite staff were friendly and helpful. Close to Tamarindo but far enough away to feel tranquil.

It was great!

The pool is salt water, very clean, and peaceful. The large covered patio with table, chairs, hammock, and fans is really nice to have, especially during rainy season. I got a very quick response using what’s app to any questions. We easily found everything we needed, even conveniences like scissors, plastic wrap, a shopping bag, and good knife for cutting fruit. Eduardo, the on-site staff, was helpful and kept everything in good order.

The smaller fan on the patio was old and loud, but necessary to keep the mosquitos at bay.

Casa Sueca is without a doubt the ideal place to relax. It offers total comfort, the staff is very professional, the pool is beautiful, the guests are very friendly, and there is a great sense of peace.

It was very clean. Has a nice kitchen area. Property was lovely. We were on the ground floor, which was awesome, as we do have some mobility issues, and the pool was literally outside our door. Access to beach was incredible. Loved that we could safely drink the tap water and appreciated them having a pitcher of cold water in the refrigerator when we arrived.

Our only REAL complaint about our room, was that the fitted sheet on the bed would not stay "fitted" and made sleeping sometimes a little uncomfortable as it kept slipping and the mattress protector was plastic and was not really nice to sleep on. The road to get to the hotel was horrible, but we knew ahead of time, and were prepared.

Location was great. The pool and size of the place was perfect for our family.

Location is perfect to both beach and town.

Location was perfect for us. It was a short walk to the beach or town without being too close to crowds. Loved the landscaping, view of pool from our deck, our own private hammock and table to eat outside or in. Beautifully remodeled room! Staff was attentive to our needs. Would definitely stay here again! Loved it!

No complaints except for leaving after seven days!

Location is fantastic, with easy access to the beach. The view from the private lanai is spectacular, and having a private covered area made the rainy time pleasant. The staff and owner are all so friendly and caring. The bathrooms and showers are decadent!

I love to cook, so a little more counter space in the kitchen would be lovely, but what was there was usable and appreciated.

Great location!

Poor check in instructions. Code for room never received and we waited 45 minutes for someone to contact us with the code.

Proximity to the beach, wonderful landscaping, the staff staff, the pool, quiet, and location being a 10 minute walk south of the main town/beach.

No

We booked two rooms. The large house is absolutely stunning. Each separate apartment has its own character with interesting decorations, neat wood furniture, and private patios. The patios overlook a beautiful garden and the pool. We spent a lot of time in the hammocks and at the patio tables. The rooms are quiet - it seems as if the building is very good at reducing noise levels. The location is superb - a quiet neighborhood, the path to the beach across the street, and just down the road a few minutes is the path to Playa Langosta too. Couldn’t get any better. So thankful we were able to stay here. The staff were amazing and friendly. They helped me work on my Spanish conversation skills and the property manager helped me out on a couple of issues (self-caused issues like me forgetting my room passcode).

I can’t think of anything I really didn’t like…

It was private and cheap. Maintenance was extremely helpful and responsive!

Unfortunately the apartments were not up to scratch! Perhaps the price should have been an indicator / red flag as to quality but I was lead by reviews despite the fact that I wasn’t sure based into the pictures of the rooms! The bedroom was fine and so was the kitchen but the bathroom was not at all clean - hairs from previous guest on the floors and old bits of toilet paper behind the toilet next to the plunger which was gross! It also wasn’t cleaned the entire time we were there (4 days three nights) and nor were we given new towels. The apartments are also not especially convenient for getting into tamarindo for dinner etc. - my husband and I are fast walkers and it’s at least 20 mins walk in the heat/humidity to walk in which wasn’t ideal. Wouldn’t recommend unfortunately

The location was amazing. The beach access was straight across the gate of the property.

The property was clean and well maintained. I think we all have the experience of a place appearing nice, but then when you look closer things are falling apart and aren’t as nice as they originally appeared. This was the exact opposite experience at Casa Sueca. It looks like a nice place when you first arrive, but as days go on, it is noticeably nicer and nicer. The furniture is fantastic quality, the bed (king sized bed in the 2 bedroom suite) was a dream to sleep in! Tile is in good condition, layout was perfect. The grounds are clean. The people working there were so kind! Location is ideal, away from the crazy hustle and bustle of Tamarindo but an easy walk in. Nice restaurants/cafes a 5 minute walk away. Beach is through a little path, not even 2 minutes! We will be back.

The only thing that was really difficult, was checking in. I didn’t realize until we were in the air on our way to Costa Rica from the US, that we needed special check in instructions if arriving after 4. I emailed the hotel when we arrived in Costa Rica but of course didn’t have WiFi or cell reception once we left the airport. When we arrived at the hotel, no one was there to check us in and we couldn’t get into our unit. It felt scary because it was getting dark, we didn’t know the area and we had two small children with us. A kind woman named Seven emailed back and then eventually showed up to help us with lights and other concerns. That made all the difference!! My only suggestion to this property is to give the gate and unit codes ahead of time.

loved the location! Pool was wonderful and staff was wonderful

The location was excellent! Directly across the street from the beach, with easy access to the fun Playa Tamarindo and the more secluded, private Playa Langosta. We appreciated the hands-off approach from the staff as it made the house feel like our own private place. Staff frequently cleaned the pools and worked in the background to keep the property beautiful and clean, and checked in when appropriate to see if we needed anything for our room. From the room alone we were able to see monkeys, iguanas, and all sorts of colorful birds. It's a peaceful slice of paradise!

No complaints, really. They were responsive when we needed them to be and kept to themselves.

Location was great! Close walk to the town for restaurants and bars, yet just far enough to be out of the congestion, and just across the street from a quiet stretch of the beach. Loved it!

The location was very close to the beach and was a easy walk into town.
