    The food in the restaurant was ok but expensive.

    Lovely hotel and great location as down the road from lovely little beach. Locals use and friendly.

    Shower wasn't very warm mid morning: had been really hot after other times, but didn't seem to heat water consistently. A minor gripe from an awesome stay. Would definitely recommend this lovely little hotel.

    The room was huge and beautiful, and staff were attentive and lovely. Swimming pool was gorgeous and the restaurant was really excellent for both dinner and breakfast. Short (7 minute) walk to a really beautiful beach, with lovely warm water and great range of bars and restaurants. Beautiful sunset too. We enjoyed seeing scarlet macaws in surrounding trees; a real treat!

    Very pleasant place but don’t be fooled to think it’s on the beach..

    Spacious clean comfortable room. Nice on site restaurant for dinner and breakfast. Short drive to beach but more a transit stop for is on our way from south to north…so just wanted convenience and comfort for a reasonable price.

    The air conditioning in our room didn’t seem to work properly even at the lowest temperature we were still hot at night so maybe that just needs to be checked. Water in the shower wasn’t hot and we would have preferred a window view onto the pool. However these things can be easily fixed and didn’t disrupt our stay too much.

    I loved the facilities the pool with the swim up bar is incredible. Breakfast was incredibly beautiful and the service by all we encountered was outstanding. We would definitely stay again.

    This was a great basic boutique hotel with incredible food! Great alternative to the mega resorts nearby.

    We loved the delicious breakfast each morning and access to Herradura Beach, just down the road! The rooms were spacious and the beds were super comfy. In room AC was a plus. There was a pool bar but we didn’t try it out, could be cool for next time. We seemed like the only guests this week so we felt it was a pretty private stay overall.

    Paradise Bay hotel was great proximity to the beach and restaurants, only about a 7 minute easy walk. Rooms were huge, air conditioning worked VERY well, water pressure in the shower was top notch and the pool area was great!! We loved how cozy the whole place felt. Having breakfast included was perfect and the restaurant on premises was cute with many options. All the staff were kind and accommodating. They even gave us a ride to the beach with all of our luggage so we could catch our boat transfer the morning of check out. You should absolutely book this hotel for your stay in Playa Herradura. No matter how long or short you’re there!

    The entrance should be paved, it's rough for a sedan vehicle. It's a little expensive for what you get

    We randomly picked this place because we wanted to have another night near the water and a little closer to heading up to arenal. We were so surprised and absolutely loved this hotel and loved Herradura in general! The hotel had the kindest staff and felt luxurious. The aesthetic and decor was charming. The rooms were big, comfortable and ambient. The pool was so cute and nice and the breakfast was amazing! You can choose any breakfast from the menu! We were blown away. Just a short walk to the beach. We really enjoyed the chilled-nature of this town, especially compared to the nearby and busy Jacó. We had some of the best sangrias, saw mackaws flying around and had some good fishing there with locals! We were so bummed we only had one night here. We would absolutely recommend !

    We were on the 2nd floor and the elevator was broken - it was fine to use the stairs but just a little difficult when bringing and taking luggage. There was a leak in the shower head that I’m confident will be fixed now that they know about it. I wish the jacuzzi was heated and about 5 degrees F warmer than the pool.

    The location is perfect, 3 min drive to beach, or close enough to be shuttled in a golf cart by staff, or walk. Breakfast is included at Pepper’s restaurant- they will happily accommodate for vegan dishes. We had dinner in the restaurant and also dinner delivered to the room. The room is spacious with comfortable beds and a strong ac unit. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Love the pool and swim up bar to relax.
