We had the most amazing week at Clandestino Beach Resort and can’t wait to you! If you’re looking for easy access to activities around Costa Rica and the perfect home base, you won’t be disappointed! The staff are very kind and helpful, we felt like family by the end of the week! The bungalows were magical and the restaurant was fabulous. The pool and beach were perfect, plus the resort dogs were a true treat!

This is authentic Costa Rica. Absolutely beautiful property in the world of many critters including dogs, a raccoon, crabs, and crawly critters. It's best to just embrace that factor because if you're looking for a beautiful, off the beaten path stay with the highest quality staff this is your pick. We had a wonderful stay

Great beach location, funky smell in our rooms. Pool was nice, but needed repairs on surrounding deck. Breakfast was satisfactory, but staff struggled with communication compared to our other accommodations. Beautiful room and views from room.

Fresh juice, breads, small pastries, coffee and egg to order options included. Addional breakfast items available on the menu if desired at additional cost. The pancakes and french toast were delicious. We didnt have a beach view from the room but could see it from the dining and pool area. It is very close. We loved hearing the crashing waves at night it was lovely to fall asleep to.
