- "It's a beautiful place and is made to be very personal to yourselves. Perfect place to unwind, chill and enjoy the amazing village, which was once Spains best kept secret. Marcus, his wife and his mother go out of their way to make your stay perfect. Their breakfast and evening meals are cooked for you personally. There is nothing you would want more. I've been coming to Agua Amarga and spent time eating in their restaurant for years but this is the 2nd time that I've had the opportunity to stay and it is perfection. Thank you"

We left feeling very rested and having had a great trip." - "Super nice hotel, very close to the beach and shops in San Jose. It opened for the season first day we arrived and everything was very clean and well prepared, very quiet so we enjoyed even more. Comfortable beds, very clean rooms, and nice shower, we had the room with sea view a d it has a big rooftop, it was a bit windy when we went but still nice. Buffet breakfast was delicious, fresh juices and full of choices, everything you need. Staff is super friendly, we travelled with a baby and they were more than helpful with everything we needed. I can’t recommend this place enough, we definitely come back our next time in San Jose. Plenty of free parking outside, it was low season."
