We stayed 2 nights here and loved it! The staff was great and super accommodating! Yorya helped us organize a turtle tour and a surfing class before we got there. Both activities were top notch, and it was our favorite surfing lesson so far in Costa Rica (ask for Allan). Easy to get to the beach. Room and bed were very comfortable. On site restaurant was a bit pricey (but on par with other places in the area) but had good quality food. We really liked the poke. Our room was upstairs, so nice and quiet. We'd love to come back here during our next trip.

Amazing place. Only accessible by a long road that doesn’t really lead anywhere else so it’s incredibly peaceful. Even so, still has a great choice of restaurants within walking distance or a short drive away. Beach is beautiful with hardly another soul on it, but the hotel can still provide all the amenities you need. Probably the best place I stayed during two weeks in Costa Rica. Wish we had spent more time here!

We had an incredible stay at hotel Cantarana. J-J and Georgia at the front desk were incredibly helpful and kind. The morning restaurant staff were always a delight to start the day with, and Mario made sure we had a good time and meal in the evening. The rooms are wonderfully clean, quiet (including the AC) and private. The food is delicious and a nice variety. We loved how close were to the beach, which is quiet and devoid of too many tourists.

Just left after 3 night stay at Cantarana. Loved the customer service and very wonderful communication. I appreciate the communication even before I arrived, made everything easier and smooth. Room was spacious and clean but my only complaint was the fact that I was below the restaurant (room 5) and noise from above began before 7:30am daily . I Loved the private entrance to the beach and the private 3 hour set up they offer for $35. Dinner and breakfast were both good and overall I was very pleased.

Besides losing electricity multiple times saying they wouldn’t be able to make our breakfast, the service was outstanding. And with the blessing of electricity we were able to get our food as well! It was DELICIOUS. I highly recommend the omelet (I think it’s the first thing on the breakfast menu). Gorgeous place that is covered and has fans but was also an open balcony with pretty views! This cafe was walkable from our rental house, we went almost every morning for breakfast! Staff was so friendly, welcoming and food was super yummy compared to other places within walking distance— or without having to take the boat across to tamarindo.

I went several times to the bistro and the staff is very kind. They make you feel welcome and check on you as well. The place is very stylish and offers live music on Saturdays which I highly recommend. Last Saturday there was a traditional band playing and it was very great.The food is good but the cocktails aren’t so good.

I LOVED my post-surf meals at the Cafe every day! The acai bowls, yogurt or overnight oats bowls, are full of fresh, local ingredients and keep you full all day. Be sure to grab a coconut latte while here, too - so good!!! The restaurant upstairs highlights simple and fresh ingredients, local dishes - all at a very affordable price! Dine outside or under the roof, enjoy the cool costa rica breezes in the evenings with top-notch service!

The staff at Hotel Cantarana took great care of me during my stay. They helped me with everything I needed, including rides, directions, suggestions, and answered my endless questions. I would highly recommend staying here. The room is clean and the beds are really comfortable. The environment is both fun and relaxing.
