Our rating: Medium

The Alma del Pacifico hotel has 20 beautiful beachfront villas built along the Pacific Coast on Playa Esterillos Este between Jaco Beach and Quepos.

The architecture is similar to that of the original Xandari Resort & Spa in the Central Valley with an abundance of original paintings, mosaics and tapestries. The quirky villas all feature mini-bars, a terrace with panoramic views of the ocean and a private garden.

The ultra plus and maxima villas have their own plunge pool. The expansive soft grey sandy beach is perfect for relaxing along though there are riptides. There are a diverse range of facilities including a swimming pool, outdoor jacuzzi, massage rooms and a beachfront restaurant. The sunsets here are absolutely stunning.
