Our stay at Dream Contentment Hotel was truly unforgettable. David, our host, was incredibly kind and welcoming - he went out of his way to show us sloths, monkeys, and other incredible local wildlife, making our experience feel magical from the very start. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, fresh, delicious, and a perfect start to each day. One of the biggest highlights was the direct access to the beach. Whether you’re looking to relax or catch some waves, it’s an ideal spot for surfing and enjoying the ocean. The whole vibe of the place is peaceful and beautiful, and Carmen’s hospitality made it feel like home. We left feeling so relaxed and happy. We can’t wait to come back !

Breakfast could be a bit more diverse.

Beautiful room, AC works, staff were nice, showed us animals even, beach front, breakfast served in the yard in front of the ocean. Many iguanas to see. They made vegan pancakes for me - very tasty.

Nothing. If the hammocks or lounge chairs aren’t out, just ask, and they will happily set them up.

Absolutely beautiful property right on the beach. 2 resident sloths, and monkeys came by each afternoon. The room itself was lovely, very clean, nicely decorated, and the view was perfect! Breakfast was simple, but delicious: choice of eggs or pancakes either fresh fruit, coffee, and juice. I went horseback riding (highly recommend!)

What a gem in an idyllic setting, right on the beautiful beach, with iguanas and monkeys running among the palm trees. A great spot to relax or catch a surf. An exceptional staff, kind people who take visible pride in their work. Carmen is great, responds quickly, and goes the extra mile to make sure you have a pleasant stay. And the pancakes for breakfast are perfect! We will surely be back ;-)

Many animals coming by at the garden.

Light on the balcony was very bright, from the second day it was completely broken. The blinds were broken and did not stay open. No ATM in the village. Unfortunately we only stayed there for three nights.

Fantastic location, directly adjacent to the beach, miles of sandy beach without stones. All you can hear from the apartment is the surf. You are wonderfully alone here, there are no distractions on the beach, no sales, no activities. The road behind the house is not very busy. The grounds are beautiful, you can lie under trees in the shade, breakfast is served on the terrace, simple but delicious. The staff on site were very nice, the boy showed us the sloths several times. The Cappuchino Monkeys came very close every day across the grounds. They are a bit aggressive and like to steal. But with a bit of distance it was a great spectacle. There is a fairly expensive supermarket within walking distance. We really liked it there. In terms of location, it was the best accommodation of the trip so far.

Stellar location, incredible host and so many magical animals to spot!

A stray beach dog stole one of my shoes - don’t leave your things on the beach!

This is a property which offers a lot - wonderful stand alone bungalows, gorgeous sunsets, a variety of trees and plant life, animals if you know where to look and a relaxing atmosphere.

Awesome stay at Dreamy Contentment. Our host Carmen could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. Daniel also was great. I really appreciate their warm welcome. I felt right at home. Great beach. Great place to stay. Wonderful sunsets. I could sit on the beach all day. Thanks again!

A small microwave could be an excellent addition to the room.

I loved the peace and silence of the property and the beach in front of the room.

Breakfast could have been better price value and there is only one restaurant option near by.

Very nice and comfortable place to stay in a great environment with allot of wildlife around.

The units don't have glass panels in any of the windows which made for a louder and less private experience. Windows still had screens and wooden shutters Location is 45 minutes from Manuel Antonio and abut 15 from Dominical, we were thankful to have a car rented. As mentioned there are good restaurants not far from the hotel. wifi in the backpackers unit was spotty at best lower bungalow wifi was good. Staff were locked out of the main breakfast area so we weren't able to eat there one morning. The next morning we were offered options for the included breakfast but the breakfast following food was just brought out with no option. Breakfast was standard scrambled eggs or pancakes, no Gallo Pinto.

The Beach was one of the nicest we experienced in Costa Rica, soft black volcanic sand with so many sand dollars scattered around. The Lower bungalow we stayed in was large, comfortable and clean with a well equipped kitchenette. There are monkeys and iguanas that visit daily that were so fun to see. The local Soda Kachete was amazing with large portions and fresh ingredients at a reasonable price, we ate dinner and lunch there multiple times throughout our stay. La Parcela was a nice restaurant about 15 minutes away and came recommended by the owner. The food was delicious and location was right on the water. we originally booked the Backpackers room but found it too small for our liking and luckily the owner had another room available she was able to move us too.

Wonderfull location on the beach, amazing garden with palm trees and delicous breakfast. The Bungalow was very clean and beautiful furnished, we felt very comfortable and warm welcomed during our whole stay. We stayed for two nights and wish that we could have stayed longer. Definitely recommend it!!!

all 3 rooms are in front of the ocean and amazing beaches. its very calm and peaceful. perfect spot to relax or do nearby activities. we stayed 2 nights and would have stayed more days if we knew how beautiful the place is. coffee machine and coffee was in the room as well as ac and fridge. hammock and beach loungers are set up at the beachfront for guests but the beach itself is wild. monkeys came by every day.

The bathroom was separate to the room, however it was still a private bathroom and it may well be that it’s only separate for the budget rooms.

Location was right on the beachfront. Staff was friendly and let me leave my bags there early and check in early, with very little notice.

Nothing!

The room was lovely and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed including a coffee machine. The location on the beachfront was excellent and the grounds were very well maintained. The team were very helpful and even arranged a night tour in the jungle for us.

Beautiful beach and amazingly spacious room. Wildlife outside the door. Well equipped kitchen and living area. Wonderful helpful staff.

that we booked only 3 nights

this was the best stay we had during our three week trip around Costa Rica. The secluded location, the amazing wild life right in front of the bungalow, the sunsets in front of our porch, the waves crushing rocking us to sleep. it was perfect and the most amazing end to our beautiful trip. when we come back, this will be the place we will return to straight away 🙏🏼

Not a dislike, but it's in a very small community but there is one close-by store and one restaurant that is within walking distance. We liked the super quiet location.

Beautiful beach. The villa we rented had vintage character and was clean and comfortable. Staff was super nice and kept us informed if there was something cool to see, such as monkeys, sloths,etc. Also very nice breakfast served outside each morning.

Could not find anything

We liked absolutely everything.

There are things that could use updating but the bedroom AC was cold and the internet worked well. my recommendation is that this place is amazing and fantastic just how it is- but be upfront and truthful about what that is. For example- futon- it’s outside…so it’s not really a sleeping option BUT- it makes for an amazing morning coffee spot or star gazing spot at night. seriously- this place is natural and pure and so so great.

the location, beach, daily breakfast, staff, local sloth, and occasional monkeys were fantastic.
