Excellent stay

Would highly recommend. The location right on the beach was perfect. It also seems to be about midway between the public access, so the beach in front of the property was less busy. Excellent gated parking, with a security guard. Was well stocked, with plenty of beach accessories, lots of towels, coffee, chips and salsa, spices, etc. Condo is in good shape and clean. We particularly enjoyed the huge balcony, which was quite private and has a great view of the breach. Kids enjoyed the nice pool area. A couple of places to eat on the beach that are walking distance; Roberto’s was good for breakfast, but lunch wasn’t great and would highly recommend Ginger for dinner. Plenty of places close by to get groceries from.

Very impressed with the condo. It’s in a gated community that is staffed 24 hours. Can’t beat the view of being right on the beach. Water wasn’t very blue or clear but it was very warm and we loved it.

Great space in a great location

Very nice facility and this unit is very nicely furnished! Lots of space. The beds are comfortable and the restrooms are very nice. The kitchen is well equipped and there were even sharp knives for food prep! My VRBO pet peeve is most of them have cheap dull knives that can't even cut fruit. This place had a nice sharp set! Thank you!!!

Total relaxation

Best vacation ever. Grethel met us at the house. Made sure we had a Whats App connection. They had a nice gift basket of snacks, water and beer in the frig. Only problem with the house was the 2nd bathroom hot water shower knob did not turn on the hot water. Everyone used the master shower. Everything else was perfect. Best sleep listening to the ocean waves. Beds were comfortable. Enjoyed sitting on the balcony, watching the sunset. Great restaurants walking distance. Bring a flashlight with you. Ate twice at Roberto's. El Velero had the best taco Tuesday. Gingers Asian Tapas was great also. Howling monkeys were fun to see.Wished I could come back every year.

November 2024 stay

This was our second trip to Sol y Mar because our first trip was a dream. The property is special. We did get caught up in the weather debacle that involved two weeks of vertical rain contributing to the Liberia airport closure, and stranding us in CR for another week. The bright spot in the entire trip was our comfort at Sol y Mar. Grethel was helpful staying in contact with us while we were there. She checked in regularly and was a lifeline.

On the beach!

Fantastic Condo. The pool was fantastic and the beach was amazing! We met many other vacationers who were all renting further away from the beach up the hill and they all complained about walking way up or needing to take a shuttle up to their places. The bedrooms were large with a bathroom for each one. The mattresses were very comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the outdoor deck!

The house was amazing! Even prettier than the pictures. House manager Grethyl was wonderful and returned our messages promptly. The ac went out the day we arrived and the owner was on it and had it fixed by the next morning. Beautiful property, clean and well stocked with towels and linens. The beach restaurants did not disappoint! Food was delicious. Loved our stay.

Wonderful Condo in Playa Hermosa

A wonderful 2nd floor condo with a beautiful waterfront view of the beach at Playa Hermosa! Grethal, the property manager was such a pleasure to work with. She checked us in, answered all of our questions and made sure to check on us during the week. The beds, the rooms and the bathrooms were clean and very nice. Just wonderful to wake up and sit on the huge balcony with a cup of coffee in the morning watching the birds and the waves. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We loved our stay here! Multi-generational family and all had a great time. Beach view, easy access, great pool, very safe and clean. Uncrowded beach but with multiple restaurants walking distance along the sand (recommend Robertos!). Great communication with the property managers. We really loved our stay and hope to be back.

Family for SB, great location and our opinion the condo you want. Plenty of space for five people, kitchen stocked all you need. Pool is quiet and beach is calm. Plenty of places on beach to eat, we ate Roberto’s and Aqua the most. Grocery store 5 minute drive from condo. Easy drive from LLIR. We left condo, dropped rental and were at the gate in one hour. Had beach chairs and plenty towels for beach/pool. Already sent to friends to stay here.

The check in process was very smooth, we were met at the property, there was a gift basket of snacks for us at the condo as well. The home is stocked with any and everything you will need for a beach vacation. It shows that the owners love and care for this home. Beautiful furnishings, high quality and well maintained. There was nothing negative I can mention. An absolutely amazing property.

Sol y Mar 1B

This location and property was amazing - the view was so worth it! Spectacular! It was also very well appointed and comfortable with lovely decor. The neighbouring property (not Sol y Mar) has a security alarm (siren) that goes off at intervals during the night (probably set off by an iguana) - so hopefully this gets rectified soon. The property is steps from the ocean with a view like none other. Just stunning. We highly recommend!
