We just spent a great week at Sol Y Mar on Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica with our two married children and one 3-year old grandson.
The condo was just a nice as pictured on the website. The furnishings were quality and yet durable choices so we didn't have to worry about damaging anything. It was very clean when we arrived. The deck area is spacious and we enjoyed having breakfast outside as well as the ocean view from the chaise lounges. A great grill is built-in here also. Our concierge quickly replaced the gas when we realized it was empty.
The pool is on the smaller side and 4 foot depth only. But it was perfect for us and our grandson. The beach is very nice and right at the front of the property. Neither were ever crowded with people which we liked. Bring beach umbrellas if you have them as they are not provided.
Both prior to our arrival and during our stay, Beachfront Rentals and Management quickly responded to our questions or needs.
Restaurant prices are less than in the US but any American made groceries are about twice as high. Next time I might pack cereals, crackers, snacks etc. in a duffel bag to bring with us.
We definitely will consider returning to Sol y Mar. It provided us with a wonderful stay where we could combine fun in the sun at the pool/beach and guided tours exploring Costa Rica.
