"Great location with an open, outdoor stocked bar at the poolside. Very comfortable and nicely appointed rooms. Super clean and VERY nice staff. Great value. Highly recommended."

"I loved all of the options for activities. It would have been ni e to know where each activity was located & sometimes the food a a little bland. Otherwise, I absolutely enjoyed every minute i was there, definitely worth it!"

"Love the property! Felt like you were in the rain forest! Large clean pool! Easy acess to beach with great opertunities to surf. Enjoyable walk to town and amazing sunsets!"

"We stayed for one night in chalet no.1 and loved it. The property is well appointed and pretty isolated with a lovely outlook over the Gulf of Nicoya. Being close to the River Tárcoles and Carara NP, there is plenty of wildlife and we saw scarlet macaws flying overhead in the evening. Laura met us at the entrance and showed us round our chalet which was clean and quite luxurious with two large beds, kitchenette, large bathroom with pleasant, natural views yet private and secluded, and a patio fully across the front and side with a clean, cooling plunge pool, loungers, tables and chairs. Other reviews have criticised lack of cleanliness, hot water and reliable wi-fi but we had no problem with any of these. Because there are only a handful of chalets here, there is no bar, café or restaurant nearby so we self-catered, though there's a variety of options in Tárcoles (a short drive away) most of which offer online ordering and delivery. The location is fairly quiet, but traffic on the main coast road can be heard during the day at varying levels of intensity. Akua Suites was the perfect final night for our Costa Rican tour. We got up early for a 2-hour birdwatching tour in Carara Park but we still had time afterwards to get a reasonably priced breakfast at the Crocodile Bridge and return to pack up before leaving the property shortly after 11am.
