Marea Brava Hotel & Villas

What locals are saying about Marea Brava Hotel & Villas

What comes up again and again is the calm and the care: friendly, attentive staff, a warm front desk, clean pools and common areas, and a breakfast several guests remember as delicious. The oceanfront condos — one on a third floor that a guest calls spectacular — have air conditioning and a fully equipped kitchen.

Good to know: the sea at Playa Hermosa is a surfers' sea and should be enjoyed with great caution; one guest found the facilities a little worn and the all-inclusive menu limited. The hotel sits right on the Pacific in Playa Hermosa, minutes from Jacó.
