Hotel El Velero, hotel in Playa Hermosa

The beachfront Hotel el Velero features an outdoor pool and a private beach where you can choose to swim, lounge or relax.

The location is absolutely spectacular... ocean is steps away on a beautiful beach with amazing sunsets and very safe quiet surf. Beach towels, loungers, chairs, and hammocks set up daily. The rooms were clean, modern and comfortable and the restaurant was great. The staff is caring and adopts every guest by name, especially kids. We LOVED our time at El Velero and would choose to stay here again in a heartbeat!!

    Pretty beach...and waves ...I would have preferred calmer sea. The jet skis come in too close to the shore and are hardly ecological. The fish restaurant on the beach is really good.. lovely staff and very fresh food at reasonable prices

    The beach was a little disappointing.

    The beach was a little disappointing. The access to the beach was piled with trash bags and recycling that needed collected. The concrete tables were in disrepair. Old tire laying on one of the broken benches. The dinner and show at Villa del Sueno was great!

    Really loved this calm, friendly beach.

    Really loved this calm, friendly beach. The water was calm for swimming and lovely to look at. There are four nice open air restaurants facing it, we liked all of them, although Aqua Sport played very loud music at times, when the sound of waves and birds would have been much nicer.

    Hosts were more than gracious, we had a small issue with the water heater and it was taken care of at our check out. Very nice and available people. Gave us some great advice on restaurants and places to go. Would stay there again.

    Playa Hermosa is a wonderful, small area with a fantastic, calm, sandy beach and a front row seat for the beautiful sunsets. We stayed here for our last night in Costa Rica since it's only a short drive to the Liberia airport. I would suggest spending 1 or 2 nights here at the start or end of your vacation. It's a nice alternative to staying at the airport hotel and it's very easy and quick to get to the airport by rental care or transfer (25-35 minutes depending on traffic). Just make sure that you chose the correct Playa Hermosa, there is more than one in Costa Rica!

    The beach surroundings looked a little burnt out, very dry, not as lush and green as compared to the beaches down by Manuel Antonio or Uvita, Costa Rica. Please note that we did visit here during the dry season.

    An overnight stay after an evening arrival flight to Liberia airport. Hotel is conveniently located on the beach about 30 minutes’ drive from the airport. Hotel was quiet with only a few guests. Plenty of secured convenient parking. Very comfortable, clean and well-appointed quiet room with separate sitting area, outdoor patio with large bathroom and comfortable bed. Breakfast was wonderful, regional foods, served in the quiet exterior dining courtyard poolside. The staff were all welcoming, friendly and very helpful.

    the best sunset in the world! 2 endless pools, awesome staff, we were always outside! except to sleep and shower! the apartment was great, the shuttles every 5 minutes or less were great as it is on a steep hill. Once down on the beach area, there was other hotels and restaurants to use if we wanted to. The beach bar, as it is out of the way, was always uncrowded, and so were the beach beds. They have a Ferris wheel and bumper cars with a churros stand on week ends, which is nice, churros are soooo good!

    The property is beautiful, with lots of plants and flowers and very close to Playa Hermosa (max 8 minutes walking). We enjoyed staying there for 3 nights. The kitchen was well equipped. The room very comfortable including the bed. We could swim/stay at the swimming pool and play a pool in the little house that was at the propery. All in all, I was very happy to choose Moon Shadow and we would stay there again without any hesitation.

    We had a lovely two days at this basic family hotel. We loved the closeness to the beach and the cleanliness. We didn’t use the pool but it was very clean. The furniture is basic and dated but the beds were comfortable and everything worked. Breakfast was basic and tasty. We appreciated that they let us access our room early.

    Very well maintained property, friendly and helpful staff, quick access to the beach via shuttle (special thanks from the 2.5 year old traveller). The beach (Playa Hermosa) is picturesque and clean, all the facilities are right there. Overall a great choice for a family vacation.

    The hotel is a beach front property. Playa Hermosa is quieter, less touristy than other beaches. The beach is very clean, and the water is clear. The hotel pool on the roof has one of the best views of the bay.
