3-Star Hotels in Puntarenas, Costa Rica

The front of the hotel can be misleading, as the hotel is actually quite nice. The rooms are pretty good. The pool area is large and well designed, and have a bar right there. A lot of the rooms have view to the pool. The tennis/basketball/indoor soccer field is great, with roof. They have pool tables, table tennis and foosball. The restaurant is 24/7, which comes in very handy, and also adds the advantageof not being tied to a specific schedule for the free breakfast that's included. Parking can be a little confusing at first, but it's actually close to the rooms (I would improve it by addign signs on the road indicating how to get to the parking lot).

Otherwise amazing hotel plagued by rude staff and tour buses. First, this a hotel is used by Americans in bus tours - expect hundreds of them any given time. Second, the staff is incredibly rude. We had an issue with our keys and the reception employee, Ana Belen, refused to help us or even try to understand the issue. TV turned up by itself in the middle of the night. The toilet flush situation is terrible, there is simply no pressure. The good thing, hotel is nearby the Cloud Reserve, breakfast is good and pool looks good.

This is the third time we have stayed in nYa, and once again we loved it. Great comfort, great service, nature all around, peace and balance. Thank you to all involved in making nYa such a great --and safe-- place to spend our holidays. And, of course, the food is perfect. What a treat for breakfast a la carte to be included in the room rate. Please try Keylor at Ubin's smoked salmon (out of this world!). We hope to be back soon.

The hotel is perfectly located directly at the beach. We enjoyed very much the air conditioning in the room, as outside was very, very hot and humid. The receptionists were very helpful - the young man let us use his personal charger and the woman let us check in a bit earlier than the regular time. Breakfast staff was very friendly, too. The rooms were quite big and very clean, but the bed was not comfortable. I would recommend the hotel further. Thank you!

Stayed at this beautiful hotel for two nights. Very clean and comfortable and excellent friendly staff. Beautiful swimming pools and tennis courts, also pool tables. For those into fitness there is a Gym on the property with all sorts of equipment for exercising. Ipad size safe in the room. WIFI, breakfast, and onsite parking included. Would definately return someday....hopefully for a longer stay.

This is a WONDER-FULL place to visit!!! Accommodation is spacious, open, beautiful, down to earth, quiet. Walk down to waterfall for a swim each day was good exercise and delicious. Birdwatching tour with Allan was so informing... his enthusiasm is contagious. I recommend this Nature reserve for a laid back easy vacation. I will be back again. Staff is honest, sincere and caring.

In our extensive traveling experience, we hardly have had a friendliest hosting team than Esteban, his wife, their little daughter Victoria and the rest of the staff... From personalized food preparation to agreeing the time for cleaning according to our schedule and desire... We highly recommend Alma de Hojochal...

Amazing hotel that is perfectly located in Santa Teresa. It is very clean, the room was huge and the pool is really relaxing. Daily breakfast is delicious and the staff are very helpful. Also there is a nice library to pick books out of. Amazing value for money, I will certainly be returning.

Fantastic view, Fantastic room. Fantastic food. Fantastic pool. The only drawback was the distance to the beach. Foreigners are charged $6 to access the closest one which takes 25 minutes to walk. The next closest is 8km. Bottom line is: I'd gladly stay here again.

This is a fairly standard all inclusive. Staff was friendly and helpful and property was nice. Food was good as well. Perfect for a 1-2 night stay. Rooms need renovation at this point. I would still recommend for anyone looking for a reasonable priced all inclusive.
