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

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.

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.

This was our second visit in the past few years. We love going here to just get away from it all. The staff and owner are always so attentive and accommodating.

I don't understand the negative reviews on this site. The place is lovely, with a great location right on the beach and a lovely pool. Our rooms were also fine, with working air conditioning, and a huge bed and good space. The owner is lovely - always on top of things and available, and the food was great. She does have 4-5 pet dogs, a couple of cats and an adorable pet racoon - so you should know they will be all over the place while you are there. We had a great time there!

Photos online are old and this place now looks warn-out. There are dogs and cats everywhere, in the restaurant, on the furniture, dogs in the pool, cats on the bar. Also, there was a racoon roaming around that seemed to be scaring several guests and the owner disregarding and then picked up the racoon and brought it around at the dinner tables. Lots of ants around the pool. Cushions on lounge chairs are very worn out and tired. Room was mostly clean, with the exception of animal hair on the cushions on the patio. They didn't serve coffee nor food until the owner was up closer to 8:30am. We weren't able to communicate if there was a breakfast menu or not, there wasn't a staff member that spoke much English. For the price we paid and the online reviews and photos we saw, we expected much more.

Very tired spot. Would have been beautiful when it was cared for. Our bungalow had light bulbs burned out, stove didn’t work, coffee maker was dirty and didn’t work, sink in kitchen didn’t have water, not particularly clean. Lots of dogs and a raccoon roaming the property. The raccoon ran at my 1 year old and jumped on him before my husband could grab him. The owner chose not to acknowledge how this isn’t fun for a guest. Food was lackluster. We have stayed in many places in CR for less money and way nicer. We were told to Pura Vida when we complained about things in room not working.

Under staffed and OVER Priced! Stopped by for dinner after a day at the beach, the owner, her five dogs and racoon were the greeting party, two cats showed up later. Everything took so long to get done, from ordering drinks, our meal and the check took way too long. This is Costa Rica, but you can only push Pura Vida so far. We're still trying to figure out what one of our drinks was. The food was only so-so, not bad, but not come back again this trip. This is a very remote spot, thankfully there are other options nearby. If you're on a budget drive on by, it'll be blown up by this place.
