We enjoyed Sunset Del Mar, but many things werre broken or in poor condition. I went to sit by the pool and the lounger collapsed and my back was wrenched. Many things didn't work properly.The staff was very nice abd Esterrillos is spectacular.

Great location. Beautiful setting and pool area. Shallets pleasant but very little wardrobe space (OK for a weekend stay). Plumbing a big problem. Toilet did not work in first shallet. Took 24 hours to prepare a suitable alternative which had water leak by toilet. Restaurant pleasant but choice of food not great. Staff pleasant but not particularly helpful or friendly.

Everything is stained, from the couches and rugs in your room to the pool loungers. The one time we had housekeepers they put a fitted sheet on that was stained with blood. When I told the front desk they were off put and seemed like I was crazy for asking for new sheets. The property was clearly a beautiful place a few years ago and has great potential but the current staff isn’t maintaining it. It was nearly deserted so the privacy and beach front is the only saving grace here.

Unfortunately we had a bad experience with management. After spending quite a bit of money on a fishing charter the staff said they would freeze our fish so we could bring it back to FL with us. Upon check out we went to retrieve our fish and to our shock it wasn't frozen. There was now no way for us to take it with us so we said they could have it but we would need to be compensated in some way for their mistakes (they admitted to taking it out of their freezer to make room from their products. That is completely understandable however they never told us so we could make other arrangements. We would have found another option to keep the fish frozen had they told us they needed the space) we asked that they comp our last dinner with them to make it even. They strung us around for 30min without making a decision but we were checking out and had to leave to make our flight... Because of the hold up we ended up missing our flight as well. After weeks of emailing the resort to make amends they have stoped responding. It's a shame they admitted to the mistake but still won't take accountability and make it right.

The menu in the room is outdated. Meal service ends at 7:30. It was a challenge to organise any excursion. Rooms aren't sound-proofed enough when they play loud music.

The most important thing about going on a relaxing vacation is being able to sleep in a comfortable bed and Sunset definitely delivered with fresh, plush bedding comfortable mattress with topper, and great pillows. Rooms are very clean and modern. Hotel is right on a nice big, quiet beach. With a pool and restaurant on site what more could you possibly need? Desk manager is awesome, the restausant staff, grounds and security staff all very freindly and accommodating. Any problems are dealt with efficiently and to your satisfaction. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a nice relaxing few days away from the hustle and bustle of the hire traffic areas and at a reasonable price relative to other hotels in Costa Rica.The only drawback, if you can call it that, is that this property is best suited to someone with a car. A backpcker will have a long walk off the main road to get here. Although there may be a shuttle from the main road to the hotel my wife tells me.

If you are not pretentious, and can live with a couple things, this is a great place. The staff was very nice. They just aren’t used to us North American’s down here as well. The food was actually very good there. The best part is being right on the beach.

Great location, we loved that we could step outside and there was the ocean. Very beautiful property and was in the middle of Jaco and Manuel Antonio, amenities were amazing. We were very comfortable and happy with our stay. The service is not as efficient as I would have liked and the restaurant okay.

We very much enjoyed our stay! This beautiful resort is quiet and the staff were very accommodating. Rates were very reasonable. Great waves for surfing and a nice pool for the kids. We had stayed here once before and were not disappointed. This is a great place for a family vacation!

The location of the Beach, this was a clean, friendly staff, if you want to tour a rented car makes it much easier. There are other choices for drinks and food walkable along the beach. This property while I was there was being worked on and updated daily. The pool was great I used everyday. I had very good meals. The price and quality compared to other places I eat was excellent. Only one meal I would have rated not good (pasta seafood). The only thing that would have made this stay better for me would be more people at the resort as I traveled alone. Once the new management has completed there updates to this property it will be a 10 out of 10. At this time I would rate as a 7 out of 10 due to the staff, location and how clean the rooms and common area were.

This family owned beach front jewel was closed during the pandemic. I booked our second time at the hotel and saw a positive change from our last stay. This time I felt welcome and happy. The new manager Isabel is taking care of what needs to be done (thank you Isabel). We will be back again.

The property has a nice long beachfront access. Access is from a paved/unpaved entry. The property overall is old and not kept well. We ran out of hot water on several occasions. The water pressure is low and the manager told us that they do not have a water tank and pump in place and have requested the owners for one. Breakfast is pre-cooked self-help buffet style. Nothing to write home about. We skipped it and bought elsewhere.
Room were overcrowded with ancient furniture that cramped the room. The bathroom fixtures were all worn out and not cleaned. The bed overnight was not even dusted or the bathrooms were not cleaned. The place i understaffed and for the price per night seems to be overcharging.
The pool setting is nice but the pool water level was below that of the skimmers and the pool was full of bugs and debris from the trees. The ocean was better for a swim!
The black sand beach off the resort was amazing. The sunset from the beach is appropriate for the resorts name.
The manager and the limited staff they had were polite and courteous. They were put in a difficult situation by the owners lack of investment in the propety's upkeep and operation.
I would not go back here again till they staff up. Make arrangements for water and clean up the place.
