Book a hotel near Playa Azul, Cuajiniquil

"This resort was beautiful. A good bit off the beaten path but what a jewel when you get there! The rooms were quite spacious and lovely. There was a welcome gift when we arrived of fresh fruits. No matter where you are on the property, you can hear the waves crashing and it is glorious! The resort felt very exclusive and was populated but not crowded at all. Each time I went to the pool or any of the many options for laying out I felt like I had my preference. They had so many options of shaded or sunny spots to relax and enjoy the tropical surroundings. There were several iguanas on the property that loved sunning themselves by the pools as well. We enjoyed the breakfast each morning that was included in our stay but our favorite was lunch. The guacamole was fabulous and paired with the chicken quesadillas it was perfect! This resort was excellent for relaxing. We also took advantage of the spa. The couple's massage with the sound of the ocean was fantastic! Easily one of our favorites of all time and we love a good spa day!! As I stated in the beginning, Azul hotel and retreat is off the beaten path and you will need to rent a car. I'd suggest flying into Liberia Airport but it will still be a long drive to ANY of the resorts, but a lot longer if you fly into San Juan like we did. I loved the Azul Hotel and Retreat and I'm very glad we found such a great place to stay with wonderful employees that took great care of us!"

"Casa del Sol was everything we could have ever wanted for our family vacation to Costa Rica; it is absolutely amazing! Four of us including two children (9 and 11) stayed for just under a week over February break. We have been fortunate to stay in many VRBO properties over the years, but I believe Casa del Sol is the best we have ever experienced. The home is very secure, located adjacent to resort grounds, gated and fenced.It is beautifully maintained. Despite being on the beach and next to the jungle, it was impeccably clean upon our arrival. The back yard and pool area is a great private area to enjoy the wonderful Costa Rican weather. The pool is large and in great condition, we spent many evening hours swimming and relaxing after our day’s beach excursions.The house has everything you could ever need for your stay. I can’t think of a single thing that was missing or in dis repair.The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and comfortable. Most importantly, the staff (Diego and Marianna, especially) take great pride in their work and do a wonderful job to ensure everything is perfect for your stay. I am grateful for our time at Casa del Sol."
