Hotel Casa Buenavista - Adults Only

The property was exactly what we were looking for. We went to Puerto (Playa) Carrillo to enjoy the 3km long sparsely visited beach with good surf jumping and the walking it offered. Renting the bungalow meant good privacy and convenience for a restful 8 nights—we were able to make our own breakfasts & lunches, enjoy the outside shower, the king bed and the outside table and chairs. The property includes a pool which is clean & well-maintained. The grounds are beautiful with an assortment of flowers & fauna native to the area (the promotional pictures are accurate). A breakfast for an extra fee is served in the “clubhouse” overlooking the pool. We did avail ourselves of breakfast: it was delicious with a varied menu and generous servings served with a smile. ALL staff are pleasant & professional and willing to do almost anything to make your stay comfortable & memorable. Although we find this area very safe, our security was uppermost in the owner’s mind with a locked car park and a locked key pad to enter the property. This is a family owned-business and the owner’s are well-experienced in client-oriented service; they are on-site and not intrusive in any way. The beach is an easy 350m walk; parking at the beach is available. Local dining options include Villa Bosque, Soda La Plaza & El Colibri all of which we tried & recommend.

We arrived mid-week and only ram into a few other guests. The owners and their family are very helpful and accommodating. We were given a full tour of the grounds and offered breakfast every morning which is completely worth the very fair price. Our room was comfortable, clean the outdoor shower in our king room was beautiful. Bedding was clean, comfortable and up-to-date. The room was cleaned daily. We loved that the location was just far enough away from the main road, but close enough to be at the beach in just a couple minutes. The pools are beautiful and we typically had it to ourselves. There's a full bar and even self serve coolers with drinks, beer and wine you are invited to help yourself to at anytime so long as you make a note on the chalkboard so you're billed accordingly. We loved everything here and will return should we ever return to the area.

Before even going to the hotel for my stay Vincent was very helpful with any questions I had and helped me arrange transport to/from the airport. My room was spacious and had a beautiful outdoor shower. The employees were all really nice and Vincent also helped me organize my excursions. Millie and Sabina are really great and were very sweet and surprised me with a cute personal bday cake during breakfast. The property is really pretty and well maintained by the staff. It is peaceful and tranquil which is what I was looking for. It is a walking distance to restaurants and most importantly the beautiful beach. I will definitely be back!
