I had high hopes for this property, but it was very average. The bar was completely closed, no refrigerator in the rooms and the breakfasts were marginal. We won't be returning.

Gorgeous place and affordable, not far from Las Catalinas which prices a bit higher. Walking distance from supermarkets and Liquor stores. Holler monkeys will give you a show at night and will wake you up in the morning but it’s safe specially if anyone is traveling with kids which I did. You will need a Car to go out if you’re planning to have a decent night out but it’s only 13 minutes away. Love this place I’m definitely coming back in December to enjoy the beginning of the summer and scape the winter here in NY.

Bahia Esmeralda is the perfect place for a family getaway. We relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful amenities, amazing pool, and stunning gardens. The sounds of nature—iguanas, hummingbirds, various birds, and even monkeys waking us up each morning—were incredible. The delicious breakfast and pleasant walks to the beautiful beaches of Penca and Prieta were highlights of our stay, along with strolls and dining at nearby restaurants. The place is immaculately clean and relaxing. We especially loved the two friendly cats, Kiko and Smoking, who added a special charm to our experience. The staff, particularly Rosemary, were exceptional, going above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. From serving wonderful typical Tico breakfasts to providing top-notch tourist tips, they ensured we had the best “PURA VIDA” experience. Highly recommend Bahia Esmeralda! Bahia Esmeralda es el lugar perfecto para unas vacaciones en familia. Nos relajamos y disfrutamos de las hermosas instalaciones, la increíble piscina y los impresionantes jardines.

El delicioso desayuno y los agradables paseos a las hermosas playas de Penca y Prieta fueron lo mejor de nuestra estancia, junto con los paseos y cenas en los restaurantes cercanos. El lugar está impecablemente limpio y es muy relajante. Nos encantaron especialmente los dos gatos amigables, Kiko y Smoking, quienes añadieron un encanto especial a nuestra experiencia.

We loved the landscaping and the very clean pool. Our room was made up each time we asked; very nice. We wish there were hammocks, pepper at breakfast, a bar. The cats are special
