Hotel Villa Acacia

Great property with a small restaurant, a nice pool and hot tubs. The vegetation is absolutely breath taking ! Our room was the only one available at the moment, a little small and could have been more welcoming. A quick 2-3 mins walk to the beach, perfect for the time we had for this town.

The staff at Villas Acacia were very welcoming and friendly. They were always looking to see if our stay was going well. Parking was awesome under roof and behind locked gate. Pura Vida!!!

Beautiful property and kind workers. Helped us out with transportation and activities, and the amenities were very nice and clean.

We stayed in this hotel for couple of nights during the Christmas holiday. Our flight got canceled so our extended 2-day stay in Costa Rica was unplanned. I booked the hotel through Expedia. The Front Desk person was very nice and she was able to check us in even we were an hour early from their check in time. The surroundings and grounds are well kept. Pool is clean and nice. They have iguanas that roams in the acacia trees, which were amusing to watch. There's also plenty of birds and butterflies everywhere. The rooms were very dated, needing major upgrade, but they are clean. The location was great, it's a short walk to the beach! The restaurant in this hotel serves delicious food! We had breakfast (which came with the room) and we also had dinner (great pizza and Angus burger). We will definitely stay in this hotel again. Everyone is super nice, friendly, and the vibe was great!

PROS: Location is good, just a couple of minutes to the beach. Balcony was nice and the room was a good size with cold AC. Property has a lot of character and charm with the exposed wood ceilings and unique villa units. Towels were clean and soft and the room was pretty clean on check-in. Landscaping is being well maintained. There was a newer mini-fridge in the room. Free breakfast was decent although somewhat difficult to order. CONS: Staff were very friendly and tried their best to help, but this was the only place in Costa Rica we had a major language barrier. Presumably because of this, we got no directions to our room or parking, or WiFi info. Bed Linens were not soft (too much plastic in them) and hot water for the shower didn't work (there is also no hot water at the sinks, which is common). Parking is on-site but requires you to drive back to the main highway, down a bit, and then back down a gravel road. It's a tiny lot with tandem spots so there's a risk you get blocked in or can't open your car door. Our toilet didn't flush but this was fixed on the 2nd day. Note that you can't put toilet paper in the toilets (the only location in CR we encountered this). The hotel restaurant/bar doesn't seem to have reached the critical mass of customers required to offer standard service or drink availability (we couldn't get a vodka soda and the only server left the property after dropping off our canned beers). For the price, probably wouldn't stay here again.

Small number of guests, with great wifi, pool with shade, and proximity to the beach. Close to LIR airport.

PROS: great location, walk to the beach about 200 yards. Tropical setting. Attentive staff. Restaurants nearby. Convenience store one block away which you will need. Nice pool. CONS: no phone in room have to walk to front desk every time you need something, NO ice machine ON premises. Forget about getting a cocktail at breakfast. They say they have a traditional bar but not really. bartender was missing on a Wednesday night. No hot water in room/bathroom sink. No stopper on sink. No microwave, coffeemaker or hair drier in room. Maintenance workers start making noise ( hammering, saws, tool noise ) at 7am. Restaurant has only three breakfast options. Dinner/Lunch? pizza, spaghetti, ceviche and traditional dish Casado, nothing else, menu is the same for lunch and dinner.

I booked this property specifically because it says it has a $40 airport shuttle available. It does not. They were accommodating and arranged a taxi without any issues, but the cost was $60 as opposed to the $40 I expected to spend. Besides that, the grounds are absolutely spectacular. The pool is nice and quiet. The location is steps away from the beach. I did not stay in one of the villas, which looked really cute. I was in room 17 at the back of the property which I wouldn't recommend. It's basically a box with a not particularly comfortable bed and doesn't have the nice outdoor seating areas as the other accommodations.

Large grounds very beautiful and well kept Big breakfast Nice balcony/patio rocking chairs Friendly staff Pool pretty good , small but good

The location was great, a block from the beach and close to a convenience stores. I breakfast included was a great bonus and we enjoyed the pool. The grounds are very nice.

The room was clean

The suite was fairly clean but it is older than I expected

The hotel did not honor our reservation request for a king bed claiming that there was no availability. There were very few people at the hotel so we did not understand this problem. Room on the second floor smelled moldy so glad that we ended up with a ground floor room.

Room was super clean, excellent staff, pool awesome. We did have to learn how to get hot water for showers. We would stay again.

Staff was excellent! But none of the amenities were available. The room was in a back corner backed up to dirty empty/cosntruction. Mouse poop was on the bed. Sand in the bed sheets. No hot water in the sink and occasionally warm water in the shower. Had to upgrade and even those rooms were rough. This may be a good place to stay for locals, but not tourists. Would not recommend

Très beau complexe mais malheureusement les draps étaient beaucoup tachés.

The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. On our checkout day we wanted to do a tour in Playa Coco and they held our bags for a few hours. The grounds were well kept. We had a little patio with rocking chairs that was comfortable to sit on while we made plans for the day. The hotel is a block from the beach and the walk is easy. Very close to restaurants and a small market if you need anything. The included breakfast was fresh and tasty. The room itself was a little dated, but it was clean and comfortable. The AC worked well. I'd stay here again if we were in the area.

It is very old hotel. Broken sink, plugged dirty bathroom, small not convinient parking

its A very nice, with beautiful grounds, hotel. Somewhat dated in decor but clean and well maintained. The included breakfast was very good. It is on a Main Street so there was some road noise but overall quiet.

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The room was dirty and should not have been in use. Andre the front desk person placed me in the room knowing it was not cleaned. I asked for an upgraded room because the standard room was horrible. There was water damage on the walls and water came into my room where I slipped in the middle of the night; stains on my sheets and bugs everywhere. Do not waste your money or time.

Very uncomfortable mattress

The property itself is beautiful, close to the beach with lush greenery and a serene vibe. Be aware though that the ‘economy’ rooms are verrrrrry sparse. I can’t say anything about the other rooms but I would highly recommend avoiding the economy option even if it saves a few bucks.

The hotel is a bit outdated but it has its charm and style. It's a complex with cabins and building with regular rooms. We got spacious, clean room with balcony. It's 5-minut walk from the beach. Breakfast was tasty and service attentive.

It’s very clean, and the room was comfortable. I found it to be very typical for the area, yes it’s dated in regards to the fixtures and furniture but it was clean, and the ac worked great. I’d stay here again.

Great reception and housekeeping staff. Immaculate property. Very hard mattress. Unusable shower doors off rails. Good water pressure. No washers or dryers.

Room was a little cramped and basic but the grounds were stunning, including the pool. There were iguanas and geckos around and a variegated squirrel in the tree opposite. It was lovely and quiet. It was a short walk down the quiet road to the beach to watch the sunset over the water and we ate dinner in one of the beachfront hotel restaurants. Great start to our holiday.

The room, grounds and location were all very good. A 5 min walk to the beach, restaurants and a 15 min drive to Coco.The pool was nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the room had a large bathroom. The only suggestion I would make is that the room had no where to hang anything. A few hooks on the wall and hangers would have been nice.

Great staff. A short walk to the beach. Very clean, nice breakfast included. Quiet at night....however there is construcion in the property next door...which starts early. Very nice.

Property is very quiet and in need of updating. Rooms are smallish. Staff is very kind and attentive to requests.

its A very nice, with beautiful grounds, hotel. Somewhat dated in decor but clean and well maintained. The included breakfast was very good. It is on a Main Street so there was some road noise but overall quiet.

Andre and his team were very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend staying at Hotel Villa Acacia!

The staff at Villa Acacia were always very pleasant and accommodating. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and the service was wonderful. I loved the grounds which were meticulously groomed by the staff. The sound of the birds in the morning was lovely.

Beautiful property and kind workers. Helped us out with transportation and activities, and the amenities were very nice and clean.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! We are three young girls. We had items stole from our suitcase and had a naked man try and break into our room in the middle of the night. The naked man then passed out outside our room. We got a hotel staff, they told him to be quiet and then left him there! They let him sleep naked outside our room all night. When we complained in the morning the staff said it was ok because he didn’t actually get into the room. Completely unacceptable. Do not stay here!

The hotel did not honor our reservation request for a king bed claiming that there was no availability. There were very few people at the hotel so we did not understand this problem. Room on the second floor smelled moldy so glad that we ended up with a ground floor room.

Disappointed in my stay. The grounds were beautiful. The room, not so much. Good space. The bed and pillows were hard. Only one power outlet and that was next to the refrigerator. No outlet near the bed or in the bathroom. Lighting in the bathroom was dim. Shower temperature was cool. No adjustment. My room was never cleaned during my trip. I booked the double bed non-smoking room. I left a day early. Location was near the beach. Easy walk. Now I know the the reservation was non-refundable.

It was a bad start as I had prearranged with the hotel to have transportation at the airport to get me to the hotel. It was confirmed they would. Didn’t happen. Saved myself $20.00 by using a taxi that was already at the airport. The people were friendly and helpful. If you’re expecting an included buffet breakfast, sorry to disappoint. It’s limited to 3 choices off a menu. The food is good though. The menu choices for other meals is very limited. I tried each selection and the food was well prepared. Lots of other restaurant choices near by. If you have a feather top mattress at home, you’re going to have sleep deprivation here. I actually used mine for Pilates one morning. Very thin. Considering someone is always cleaning there, I can’t explain the black crud on the floor around the bottom of the toilet. The room is very sparse. And if you’re a man that shaves every day or a woman that applies makeup, good luck, the lighting is very poor. But the grounds are beautiful and immaculate. It’s obvious Raymond takes great pride in looking after them. The location is very good. A short walk to the beach and a grocery store practically across the road. Excursions don’t have a problem picking you up right at the door. Would I stay there again? Only if I upgraded to one of their separate huts. I had a chance to look inside one and they are impressive. Please keep in mind I stayed there for a whole week, not just passing through.

The property is great and close to the beach. Housekeeping and Maintenance were great. Andre at the front desk was polite, but not responsive to our satisfaction. We arrived two days early and Andre gave us a great walkup rate for the room for nights not booked. We had booked a budget room, and it was what you would expect for that price category. But, the hot water in our room did not work, and the ceiling fan did not work. We immediately spoke with Andre at the front desk about the problems and asked to move, but he said there were no open rooms to move us to in our category, but we could pay an extra $50/night to move to an upgraded cabana. While that was a great price for an upgraded room, we just wanted hot water and a fan for the room we had booked, or to be moved. He told us they would fix the hot water, but the fan was broken. So, nothing for day #1. We approached Andre on day #2 to let him know we still didn't have hot water. He immediately sent Mario to check it out. Mario knew what the problem was, but couldn't fix it until the next day. We asked Andre again to move rooms, but no. On day #3 we FINALLY had hot water, and of course the ceiling fan still didn't work. So, bottomline, the property is great...our room was not. If they had moved us to ANY room, this would be a 5-star review. There were plenty of open rooms during our stay as evident by the front doors being wide open, and an offer to pay more for an upgrade. We won't stay here again. YMMV.

Property is really pretty! Doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you get into the grounds, it's lovely. Beds are comfortable enough for a short-term stay. Close to the beach. Breakfast was included. Food in the area is touristy so don't expect much, but we enjoyed walking to Ginger and their food was great for dinner! I only wish the place had chairs for the beach for rent that you could use!

Lo mejor es la cercanía a la playa, en unos cuantos metros caminando se logra llegar a Playa Hermosa.

It is interesting to read the reviews of this hotel. You have both 2 star and 5 star ratings. The funny thing is as I found both to be accurate. The hotel has both nice grounds AND old rooms. The rooms are clean, but the A/C units are on their last leg. The location is good (5 minute walk to the beach) and bad (a little seedy, but safe). The service was friendly, but staff had limited English language skills. WELL worth a few bucks to upgrade your room. Also, there was a fantastic restaurant, Gingers, that was a 5 minute walk up the street. At the end of the day, how you feel about this hotel depends on your expectations. It is a hotel for the budget conscious. If you come with high expectations, you will be disappointed. If you come with modest expectations, you will be pleased. I rate it overall 3 stars.

Private. Close to restaurants and beach.

A great place a few steps from the beach and a comfortable and inexpensive place to stay before our flight from Liberia the next day.

The staff at Villa Acacia were always very pleasant and accommodating. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and the service was wonderful. I loved the grounds which were meticulously groomed by the staff. The sound of the birds in the morning was lovely.

The restaurant on site was fantastic

The hotel is a bit outdated but it has its charm and style. It's a complex with cabins and building with regular rooms. We got spacious, clean room with balcony. It's 5-minut walk from the beach. Breakfast was tasty and service attentive.

We stayed in a villa with kitchen area. The grounds are clean and green. Pool area was also clean. Included breakfast was delicious with three choices available. Unlimited self serve coffee as well. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was cleaned daily if requested. Restaurant has a limited menu but the pizza was always great. Property is close to the beach. I will visit again.

The location of this property is perfect...just a short walk to the beach. The villa was perfect, the kitchenette included a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, slow cooker, electric griddle and blender. The staff are incredibly friendly. The breakfast options were somewhat limited, but all tasted great. The grounds were in great shape. There is a small store across the street and a larger market that was a ten minute walk away. The hot water was spotty, but who wants a piping hot shower when it's 35 degrees celsius? Will be back for sure!!

La cama no son cómodas el Matress es muy fino. Solamente dejan dos almohadas. Aquí tiene Para pasar un día está bien. A él desayuno le falta sabor especialmente al arroz.

Bed was almost painful. Breakfast was only 7-9 and because I was there at 6:45 she didn’t even offer me a cup of coffee, very culturally unusual. The whole experience was just ok. Recommended my friend go elsewhere next week.
