호텔 아줄 오션 클럽

This place is a total beachfront dream. The grounds are gorgeous, and honestly, nothing beats waking up to the sound of waves crashing right outside your room. The rooms are super spacious, and the beds are ridiculously comfy. Perfect for recharging after a day in the sun. The staff is awesome!! Everyone is super friendly and on it, especially Rossana and Juergen, who really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The food was amazing too! So many tasty options, all super fresh. Hilaria makes a killer cocktail, and the tuna tartare was some of the freshest I’ve ever had. We also did a couple of tours through the hotel, and they were such a blast. The ATV tour was definitely a highlight, great for both newbies and pros. Oh, and don’t skip the beach shuttles they offer (included in your stay). Thanks to those, we found San Juanillo beach... and wow, it’s officially my new favorite beach in the country. Can’t wait to come back and next time I’m definitely staying longer!

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!

Much of the hotel has a good aesthetic; the common areas are very useful for resting and even sleeping, the pool is designed for adults enjoyment, we liked it a lot. Our room had an excellent beach front location and the external bathroom was an additional pleasure... Excellent amenities! From one of the best Costa Rican brands. They had the courtesy to decorate the room in celebration of my partner's birthday. In the restaurant, the breakfasts are very tasty as well as dinners, they were very worthwhile, in addition Gillary and Yosseline were very attentive and kind. Unfortunately, we had a problem with the AC unit in our room, and we had to go to the front desk three times before the situation was properly addressed (there are no phones in the rooms and you have to walk to the front desk). They were kind enough to give us a courtesy in the room the next day, which we really appreciated. One good area for improvement is the communication prior to our arrival via email and phone, as it was not the best.

Staff, service, rooms were amazing. The tiny pool, non-maintained beach, absence of a store or anything close by, the same menu every single day, the coffee at the breakfast, no where to go or do anything were horrible.

Great little beach oasis managed by a tremendously professional and gracious staff. Great facilities and well-above average restaurant.

I really like free yoga sessions! That was a great addition to tranquility of the property, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The kayaking tour guide was awesome!
