Beso del Viento

We had a wonderful stay at Beso del Viento. Rooms were spacious, clean and with a touch o France. Breakfast was delicious and so was th wine! The beautiful, quiet beach is just a step away and the garden is worth a stroll (with many lizardlike animals ). Definitely worth a visit!

We were looking forward to a relaxing stay right by the beach, as written in the hotel description, but in the end we immediately canceled the stay upon arrival. The hotel is located at the end of the urban development in a very depressing environment with a ramshackle large building right next door. The beach is untidy, swimming in the sea is not very pleasant. No sunbeds, no umbrellas, scorching sun. The rooms are very small. Pool dirty, fine black sand or dust everywhere. The staff was very unpleasant, we even had to take off our shoes to be allowed into the first floor of the hotel in the main building. In the city I wasn't sure if I was really in Costa Rica. This is not the Costa Rica you want to enjoy. So we didn't sleep a single night in the hotel.

Beso del Viento is a Paradise of Tranquility and Beauty! We spent seven days and Bernard and Elisabeth were the most kind, helpful, and gracious of hosts! The breakfasts and dinners were like an absolute gift from their French kitchen! (well worth the price for dinner. we had three dinners during our stay). The beauty of the gardens and pool outside and the lovely, detailed decor inside made us feel like we were in a dream. Our days were spent enjoying the secluded black-sand beach, the Pacific waves, driving around town, and exploring National Parks. We left feeling refreshed and hope to visit this special place again!

Beso Del Viento is a place of tranquility and beauty. We were Three couples staying Four nights in this Nine rooms hotel that managed by the owners, Bernard and Elizabeth, from France. Two people how are very kind, helpful and fantastic hosts, that bring the French cuisine to this remote place in Costa Rica. We ate breakfast and three dinners in the hotel, and all were fantastic and very tasty, hence,French cuisine. We spent our days in the lovely pool surrounded by a well manicured garden, walking in the secluded, black sand beach and off course, swimming in the warm Pacific Ocean ( there are no beach umbrellas or chairs provided by the hotel). Manuel Antonio park is only 45 minutes away from the hotel and there is a lovely restaurant, a short distance from the hotel, for lunch or dinners. Bernard, Elizabeth and their staff were working long hours every day , but always found time to talk, give advice and share from their experiences. Thank you again for making our stay with you, so memorable.

This boutique hotel has limited guest rooms for a peaceful, quiet stay about 3 hours southwest of San Jose. The owners are charming and considerate - a French couple conversant in English and Spanish, as well as other languages. A delicious breakfast is included with fresh fruit and juices, toast and eggs made to order. The hotel is across the street from a deserted beach, so walk over to enjoy the day on the sand - and don't forget about the spectacular sunsets over the Pacific Ocean! You'll want a car to explore the neighborhood - 30 min to Manuel Antonio National Park and the lively town of Quepos, local restaurants and beaches.

A great place to start our 10 day visit to Costa Rica. the owners Bernard and Elisabeth were very helpful and Bernard ( a French chef )'s cooking is superb. The location is a pleasant drive to the Manuel Antonio park.

We spent 3 fabulous nights at Beso del Viento. I had high expectations going in based on great reviews, but the ambiance and originality of the place exceeded my expectations. The grounds are gorgeous and in perfect condition. Every morning as we walked from our room to eat our elegant breakfast, we saw workers maintaining the grounds and cleaning inside. The decor is extremely original and witty, not the generic grey and white boho look seen everywhere these days. It’s got a French flair with a Costa Rican twist. I just loved it. We also enjoyed Bernard’s amazing food at breakfast each morning and for a special romantic dinner one night. And, I can’t leave out the gorgeous untainted beach right across the street. We walked for ages and saw only one other person, fishing. Dreamy! If you are looking for a beautiful place to relax and enjoy a quiet getaway in Costa Rica, book a stay at Beso!

Das Hotel ist sehr schön gestaltet in französischem Flair, mein Zimmer hatte Klimaanlage und Ventilator, alles war sauber und man konnte warm duschen. Auch das Frühstück war gut mit Früchten, Eiern, Toast mit Butter, Marmelade und Kaffee. Der Strand ist in 2 Minuten fußläufig zu erreichen. Negativ fand ich die strengen Hausregeln, dass man in der oberen Etage nur barfuß laufen darf (wenn man mal eben was aus dem Zimmer holen will sehr lästig) und dass pünktlich um 22 Uhr Nachtruhe ist, man kann nicht mehr irgendwo mit Leuten sitzen, die Haustür wird abgeschlossen und man muss aufs Zimmer gehen und still sein. Das ist wie Jugendherberge als ich 13 war. Die Besitzer haben eine wunderschöne Anlage geschaffen, aber es fehlt die Gastfreundlichkeit, ich habe mich nicht willkommen sondern lästig gefühlt in diesem Haus. Und ich bin gespannt auf den Kommentar der Gastgeber, denn die Kommentare auf kritische Rezensionen sind wirklich lesenswert, weil sie ihre Gäste gerne beleidigen und als Idioten darstellen, die nicht in der Lage sind, die Angaben auf ihrer Website richtig studiert zu haben. Das finde ich wirklich schade und armselig. So eine schöne Anlage, aber ich würde nicht nochmal herkommen.

Magnifique endroit calme, au bord de la plage, belle piscine où prendre l'apero. Déjeuner superbe et hôte accueillant! N'hésitez pas une seconde!! Nous sommes juste tristes de ne pas avoir prévu plusieurs nuits dans ce bel endroit!! :-))
