Alma del Pacifico Beach Hotel & Spa

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.

We enjoyed the stay. Apartments are stylish, rather big, with a small kitchen, two showers (one is outside), private terrace, and a closed private garden. The breakfast was delicious, as well as the dinner we had (33$/p.p with freshly squeezed juice). Two pools that could be used 7/24h. Very quite. One h till Manuel Antonio. A nice place.

I have been to Alma Hotel several times for breakfast and lunch and the food was delicious so my BFF and I decided to have a girls night and stay at the hotel. We were quite disappointed. I don't know if they have a new chef but the food was not nearly as good as it used to be. The room was lovely and well maintained. It was very hot outside and my friend and I were really looking forward to swimming in their beautiful pools but the water was very warm - like a jacuzzi. Really awful. I spoke to the front desk about it but they made a lot of excuses. When I asked for some sort of compensation as the pool is a huge part of their hotel and why we were there, they credited me 35.00 on a total bill of $700.00. We toured another hotel down the street and their pool was cool and so nice. Sadly, last time for me at Alma.
