Lovely beach
Playa Hermosa is a quiet beach town where it seems many Costa Rican families visit in the evenings and weekends. When we were there, the weather was extremely hot and windy, limiting the time we could spend at the beach or doing outside activities, but late afternoon was nice and sunsets spectacular. The beach is sheltered and flat, making it good for small children. We tried to rent boogie boards from a beach restaurant but they were all broken. Having a couple of boogie boards to use available at the house would have been great. Though the distance to the beach is not too far, it is up and down a very steep hill and challenging for most to walk. With the heat it was prohibitive. We ended up driving down to the beach and parking up the road. The house is spacious, modern, well equipped, and true to description. The pool is great. We had issues with wind whistling through the outside door in the bunk room all night and though we mentioned it to the property manager, it was not addressed and we didn’t find the management company very responsive in general. One surprise was that we arrived 4hrs later than expected due to an airline issue out of our control and then informed we would have to pay a late check-in fee. We had to keep blinds down most of the day due to heat and sun pouring in the all glass windows, but that is the nature of a modern house. Despite the weather issues and the difficulty sleeping in the one room, we had a nice time and enjoyed the stay.
