About · Sobre Nosotros
Twenty Years on
the Same Sand
A family-run stretch of the Pacific where the welcome is real and the ocean has never moved.
Bienvenidos
For more than twenty years, this beachfront stretch of Playa Hermosa, just minutes from Jacó, has been a place for families to slow down — where mornings open with whale song on the horizon and evenings close with the sky on fire over the Pacific.
Our story
A small idea that
never left the beach
It began with a handful of rooms and a simple belief: that the best of Costa Rica isn't something you visit, it's something you wake up inside of. Two decades later we've grown, but the idea hasn't moved an inch from the water.
Today the resort is still family-run, still on the sand, and still measured by the same thing — whether you leave already planning to come back.
The years, in brief
How we got here
First rooms open on Playa Hermosa — a dozen keys and a dream.
Vivace Beachfront restaurant opens with Chef Luigi at the pass.
The signature LED pool — 1,200 lights — is unveiled.
Four room types, weddings & surf nights — still on the same sand.
What we stand for
Three things we won't compromise
Real hospitality
Family-run means the welcome isn't a script. You're a guest in our home.
The coast, protected
Turtle nesting, clean sand, low footprint — we keep the beach worth waking to.
Costa Rica, fully
Local hands, local flavor, local adventure — pura vida isn't a slogan here.
A unique pool in Central America
A starry sky, just below the surface
Designed by a renowned Italian artist, our main pool is a functional work of art — a meeting of technology and nature you won't find anywhere else on this coast.
1,200 LED lights set into the pool floor evoke a starry sky underwater. Every night the lights come alive, turning an evening swim into a quiet, unforgettable spectacle.
And it's beautiful with a purpose: the low-energy LED technology reflects our commitment to sustainability, without ever asking our guests to settle for less.
Privileged location
Where the rainforest meets the tide
Surrounded by mountains blanketed in tropical vegetation, the hotel sits inside an exceptional natural setting where Costa Rican biodiversity shows up in full splendor.
Tropical birds, howler monkeys and a cast of local fauna turn every day into a small adventure of discovery. The connection with nature here is constant, and completely real.
Whale watching
From July to October, majestic humpback whales visit our shores — an unforgettable natural spectacle just offshore.
Turtle nesting
Playa Hermosa is a protected nesting area where sea turtles come ashore to lay their eggs — a rare, living conservation experience.
