Luxury peaceful accommodations on the beach.
Perfection on every level! Garden rooms with a pristine beach a short walk away! The most comfortable beds and welcoming atmosphere! This is our favorite place to stay in Costa Rica! The highlight is the owner who creates the best food we’ve ever had in our lives. Everything she made was so delicious. We love the rescue animals that live at the resort and look forward to returning soon.
Kris, 4-night trip

A quaint charming resort
It was a comfortable stay. The highlight was the almost private secluded beach. Being exposed to the elements the property is not in the best condition, but the host immediately took care of any problems we had. FYI there are a few dogs, a cat, and a couple of raccoons which belong to the owner, and live on the property and walk around in the dining area. The food was delicious, and cooked from scratch, so give plenty of time for it to be prepared. A bit on the pricier side. The approach road to the property is a 5km gravel road. All in all a good place to have a quiet, secluded vacation.

Great and secluded little hotel right in front of the beach, with a huge pool and a peaceful atmosphere. Definitely will be back and recommend.

3 night stay
The staff was friendly and the grounds were nice. One of the only upsides to this property is that the beach is steps away. If you’re coming with a family just beware there aren’t many restaurants in the area. The property as a whole is pretty run down.

Property has a lot of potential. The view is breathtaking and the grounds are beautiful. However I felt like I was camping. The rooms need updating and cleaning. The dogs and staff are great.

10/10 Exceptional

The resort offered a nice getaway being away from the busy areas with a semi private beach that wasn’t crowded and had pretty sunset views. The staff were friendly and attentive. Rooms were clean and the style and decor was resort boho chic. Perfect for a secluded Costa Rica vacation. We had a rental car so coming and going to town was easy for us.

Nice beach hotel, quiet, great rooms.
A hidden gem right on the beach which goes for miles. Beach is nice sand, rolling pacific warm waves. Hotel has a pool, great rooms and a warm welcome from the host. If you like peace and quiet, this is a great place for you. Only down side is the food is more expensive

If you are looking for a place to totally unwind relax. Disconnect, this is the place you have to like dogs and don't mind the raccoon. The staff was amazing. The owner saw to our needs made us feel so special for our anniversary. The food was amazing. The room was amazing. It's off the beaten path but it was perfect.

Great Accomodation, Secluded Location
Very quant small boutique accommodation in a secluded area of Quopes about 30 minute drive away. Right on a beautiful beach which black sand. More of a location for decompresion than chocked full of activities. Miles of beach to walk on, especially good at low tide where a 100 yards of the beach is exposed. Owner is fabulous, help me set up day trips. Have to drive down a dirt road 3 miles to get to the resort. Again, isolated area.

Very good one night stay. Room was comfortable and convenient to restaurant and pool. Pool was relaxing but only very shallow or too deep to stand. I didn’t like that shower floor was hard to stand on with round large stones. Good was good at restaurant but expensive.

Love this place. The laid back vibe. You feel like you have the resort to yourself. The owner Diana is always on hand to help with anything you need. The breakfast was great, we had dinner one night it was also great. We love the dogs that live on the resort as well as the raccoon. They like to hang out with the guests. The beach is secluded and has the most beautiful sunset you will ever see. This was our third time there and we will be back.

10/10 Exceptional

We felt like we had our own private beach at Clandestino. Our kids loved the pool and the pets (including a friendly raccoon named Pepper!). The food was very good and the service was top notch. The rooms were comfortable and the ac worked well. My daughter loved eating mangos from the mango tree all day. Would definitely recommend having a car as the secluded and private location could make getting a taxi difficult. We did day trips to Jaco and Manuel Antonio from clandestino. We had a really nice time and made lifetime memories with our kids at the resort.
Brent, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We brought our family to this resort. We have two children and they loved the pool, the dogs and the raccoon which are pets. You just cross the dirt road to the beach where we cut open coconuts and dipped our feet in the water. We really enjoyed the complementary breakfast. Food was fresh and tasty. We had one dinner there. It was expensive but it was tasty and there are no other restaurants in the area. The property is beautiful and peaceful. There are flowers everywhere. It is sort off the beaten path which we really enjoyed. Its not in a congested area. I would definitely recommend it.

Ms. Diana and her staff are absolutely AMAZING!!!! I did not feel well while there and she went out of her way to ensure I got what I needed. Her meals, whether spaghetti, chicken strips or a simple ham n cheese sandwich were prepared with love and came to the table beautifully plated. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed Pipa the raccoon and the pups freely roaming the properly and loving on their visitors. This place is a bit remote, so prepare to take the bumpy road to go/do anything beyond the resort. Note- IF YOU DO NOT LIKE ANIMALS, this place is not for you. ❤️🐕🐈🦝
Jamie, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Upon arriving my family and I felt uncomfortable with the resort's environment and decided to cancel our reservations. The lack of staff, absence of other residents (we were the only ones present), cloudy pool water, danger signs for entering the ocean, lack of lights to welcome visitors, 3 miles of bumpy unpaved road leading up to the location, not allowed to flush toilet paper down the toilet, and emaciated dogs and raccoons roaming the lobby made for an unsavory experience. We ended up leaving, losing our $500 deposit, and staying at a location in Jaco, which we loved.

Lovely hotel in amazing location
Clandestino was beautiful and Diana, the owner just couldn't do enough for us. Lovely room, very comfortable and quiet. Beautiful pool and comfy sunbeds. Good choice for breakfast, will cook any combination you fancy!! We also ate in the restaurant every night and again great choice of food. We ate there every night (8 nights). Location of hotel did not disappoint. Right on the beach - miles of deserted, unspoilt sandy beach and the benefit of both sunrise and sunset. Pretty local for several of the attractions, Rainmaker (waterfalls), Manuel Antonio Nature Reserve and Mangrove boat trip and Diana booked transport for us. The resident pets were great fun and very friendly too! We will definitely go back - thank you Diana

Paradise, paradise, paradise!!!!
My wife and I found this hotel to be the most relaxing environment we have experienced in a very long time. Away from the hustle and bustle you find yourselves to be the only ones on this very long beautiful beach. The sunsets are absolutely to die for!!! Diane, the owner was very supportive of our needs. Knowing we were only there for two nights she personally helped us to organise trips very much last minute which we were exceptionally grateful for. All of the staff were courteous and helpful always and we were very sad that we had not spent much more time there as we found it to be such a tropical getaway. One day we hope to be back. Thanks again to Diane and her team, keep up the great work.

This is a very unique place! This little resort was absolutely incredible; extremely charming, and right on the beach! The staff was very friendly and helpful in every way. We were given a room upgrade after our second night with a beach and pool view. If you have the option, get the room with a pool and ocean view. The included breakfast was absolutely delicious.we ate dinner at the resort once (our last night) and it was better than any place we had outside. They do have a full menu restaurant and full bar. This is an extremely pet-freindly resort with at least five or six dogs who live on site, along with many other animals (we saw a raccoon, sloth, and monkeys right at the resort). The beach is very private, no other people for as far as you can see in both directions. On our beach walk, we did see about 10-15 little turtles that just hatched and made their way to the ocean. I would highly recommend having a rental car if you stay here as the resort is pretty remote. We felt very safe here as they have on-site security who patrol at night (I know because they reminded me twice I left my car lights on). We certainly recommend this resort and will be back!

We loved this place. To be honest, when we initially pulled in, I was very skeptical that we booked a really odd property. But 3 days later, I couldnt be happier when added all up. The thing I liked the most about the property was an extreme "chill" vibe (Pura Vida) that resinated through everything. Gorgeous area with waves crashing literally right behind every meal you eat. One of the nicest things about it was the beach, the sand, and the surf. There isn't a single rock or sharp anything in the water. Just sand, as far as you can head out. The property owner (Diane) and her staff treats you like family, lets you use all of their stuff (surf boards included). My middle kid learned how to surf while there - so cool! Breakfast is included and is fantastic. You can choose to eat lunch and dinner on sight and most of the food was decent. We loved all of Diane's animals, especially her very tame racoon. Staff was super nice and friendly. We had a great time and plan to return. Thanks so much.

Quiet, peaceful, and relaxing
So this place was not what I expected, but it was what I needed. It is a local hotel, the rooms are super clean and the beach was right there. This is not an all inclusive typical resort. It is locally owned, private, and quiet. I didn't really look at the reviews before I booked so I was expecting more of busy resort. We didn't do a lot of research before arriving to Costa Rica so it was amazing how the owner of the hotel set up our itinerary for our last days in the country. It was such a relieve because we didn't have to worry about much once we arrived. I was looking for a more lively and full resort, but ended with a quiet, private, peaceful, and relaxing stay. If partying and a big crowd is what you are looking for, this resort won't fulfill those things, but if you want something quiet and private this is it. I felt super safe. We arrived to Parrita by bus and then crabbed a cab to the hotel. Before arriving I would suggest you contact the hotel for transportation, we could have avoided a huge headache had we done that. The taxis in San Jose wanted to charge us $250 to take us to the hotel. Had we contacted the hotel we could have avoided the bus ride and gotten a cheaper more comfortable ride.
