Alma del Pacifico Beach Hotel & Spa

This was our third stay here. Rooms are large with a seating area, excellent shower and space for a couple of sun loungers on a small terrace area overlooking the ocean. It must be one of the best beaches in the world and there are spectacular sunsets. The pool area and gardens are super. Staff are all excellent and I thought it was good value for money. Criticisms are few - the buffet aspect of the breakfast is poor and didn’t change throughout our stay. We ate a couple of meals here and there is little in the way of atmosphere, However this is a small hotel so there are never likely to be large numbers of fellow diners. Unless you are a confident swimmer you are unlikely to venture into the ocean as the waves are impressive.However good for surfers!

We went here with our family in 2022 and it was amazing. Very beautiful, the staff was incredibly friendly and very helpful. And our three-year-old had the best time playing on the beach and in the pool and chasing iguanas. We told our whole extended family about how awesome it was and booked a trip for all of us to stay there. Health issues got in the way and ultimately we had to cancel the trip. It was a large reservation and Fernando was INCREDIBLY helpful, understanding, patient and kind in making sure we were refunded. Evelyn was also such a help! We really appreciate their efforts and we will definitely be visiting Alma again!

This hotel is set in beautiful grounds overlooking the Pacific. You can walk for miles along unspoilt beach, relax in the shade of the palms and enjoy the chilled atmosphere. The ambiance is lively, with a nice balance of families and couples - all ages groups catered for. Happy hour and the lovely menu meant that we did not feel the need to stray, although there are some nice local shops 5 mins drive away for gifts and essentials. Special thanks to Freddy and Juanito for making us feel so welcome.

What a beautiful hotel! We stayed in a beachfront bungalow and they are truly right on the beach. The rooms are large - even for a family of 4. The garden and grounds are absolutely gorgeous with butterflies, lizards, and macaws. We had the entire beach to ourselves - great surf for kids to play safely in. Service was top notch and the food was great although a bit pricey. This was a perfect last stop on our way back to San Jose - peaceful, beautiful, relaxing.

Evelyn was awesome helping us with all our needs to reserve the bungalow. We reserved one just in front of the beach with a private pool. The staff is a highlight, in the restaurant, as well as the reception and cleaning staff all with no exceptions were so great. The restaurant has a very good menu of food and drink. The place is excellent, located in an almost empty beach with plenty of space to enjoy (we were there during vacation season and despite of the hotel being full, we felt just like if nobody was there). The pool inside the room as well as the common area pool is really good. We ended up adopting a dog that followed us. This will always mark our vacations and the hotel as a special place for us.
