Café de Playa was absolutely amazing. The property was beautiful, clean, and well cared for, and the staff went above and beyond to make my experience special. Everyone was so kind, helpful, and welcoming — it truly felt like they wanted to take care of me and make sure I had the best trip possible. They gave wonderful recommendations, made everything feel easy, and added so much to my Costa Rica experience. I’m so grateful for their hospitality and I look forward to going back!

The staff is very friendly, the rooms are really clean and the food was delicious. Water pressure is amazing here in the showers. The beach is right out front which is a bonus and there is a path that you can walk to town on right from the hotel.

Had the best time at this beachside hotel. Very quaint with only a handful of rooms that are all steps to the ocean. The food was fabulous and the area was safe and walkable to other fabulous restaurants. Coco was our favourite beach, calm waves, beautiful sandy swimmable ocean! And best of all no one trying to sell you crap on the beach! Very walkable beach, we loved everything

While the proximity to the beach was as advertised, the hotel and pool portion of the cafe were run down and not inline with our expectations for the price. There were loud workers talking outside our door at 4am, the construction next door wafter fire smoke into the room and onto the property at night and in the morning. Giant 4" spider found in the bathroom.

Cafe del Playa in Coco was amazing. A boutique beachfront small property with a nice room, super clean and very friendly staff. The dining area looking out at the beach was amazing.

The staff was very welcoming and helpful. They made us feel like we were right at home. I would recommend renting a car at the airport so you are able to explore the town, hit the local shops and enjoy the various restaurants.
