Perfect for:
Bosque del Mar is perfect for family seaside vacations, with minimal fuss. While most beaches in this part of Costa Rica cater to the surf crowd, Playa Hermosa is one of the few suitable for families and children, which is the main charm of this place. In addition, Bosque del Mar offers comfortable accommodations in the heart of Playa Hermosa.
What to Expect at Bosque del Mar:
- A Relaxing, Boutique, Beach Experience: A comfortable beach hotel just steps away from one of Costa Rica's most beautiful (Hermosa means beautiful in Spanish), safe, and family-friendly beaches.
- Resort Experience: A boutique experience rather than a "resort experience." Bosque del Mar is a smaller hotel, with only 32 rooms.
- Food, Spa, and Nightlife: It depends on what you are looking for but Bosque del Mar has it all.
What Not to Expect:
- Five-Star Luxury: Bosque del Mar is a comfortable hotel with plenty of amenities, but it's more barefoot luxury than the top end.
- Nightlife: Playa Hermosa is a quiet, family beach with a few restaurants around. Party people are better off elsewhere.
- Surfing: This is a calm beach, suitable for families and children.

Why Costa Rican Vacations Loves Bosque del Mar:
A Relaxing, Boutique, Beach Experience
Bosque del Mar is a small, eco-conscious boutique on Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste (not to be confused with the other famous Playa Hermosa, near Jaco on the Central Pacific coast). Close to Guanacaste Airport in Liberia, Playa del Coco, and the Papagayo Peninsula, Playa Hermosa has a different vibe.
It's a quiet community here with a calm, dark sand beach. Playa Hermosa is perfect for families, children, and swimming. On the southern end of Playa Hermosa, the hotel Bosque del Mar is ideal for couples, families, and friends seeking beachfront relaxation away from the crowds.
Resort Experience
Bosque del Mar’s 32 suites and three penthouses are designed with earth-colored tones and lovely space. All the rooms are spacious and comfortable, with either garden or ocean views. They all have a living room, A/C, terrace or balcony, TV, and coffeemaker.
The suites at Bosque del Mar sit in fantastic tropical gardens, where monkeys play in the trees. There's a private pool and jacuzzi area within this tropical garden, where you'll see more monkeys and the odd iguana sunning itself! Guests can also rent kayaks and paddleboards to take out.
Food, Spa, and Nightlife:
The restaurant at Bosque del Mar, Niromi, offers a range of a la carte and buffet meals. The Nya lounge bar is a great place to enjoy a cocktail watching the stunning sunset over the Pacific Ocean.
A range of spa services is available, either in your room or on the beach. WiFi is available in all communal areas. Bosque del Mar prides itself on its environmental stewardship; it has many sustainable practices, from using solar panels to implementing water-saving schemes.
Playa Hermosa is quiet but if you are looking for some nightlife, party people can go to nearby Playas del Coco for a full range of restaurants, bars, and shopping. You'll find a few restaurant options within easy walking distance of Bosque del Mar and some quiet spots for sunset cocktails. In addition, nature and adventure activities can be booked through the hotel.
