The owner of this resort treats everyone like her family. My kids and I loved our stay as we felt taken care of and tended to. The facilities were beautiful and the private beach was exquisite. We loved the food and entire dining experience. We also loved the rescue animals roaming the property. We hope to go back and stay again!!

This is a nice place to go if you want something quiet and not tooany ppl. They are pet friendly which is always a plus. Overall the restaurant food and drink prices I thought were high but other than that, they staff was great. The pool is one of the best I've seen around and will definitely go back. I'll just load up on beers before getting there.

A slice of paradise off the beaten path. Beautiful grounds, manicured gardens and a few steps away from the most pristine secluded private beach that seems to go on for miles. Wish we had more time there. Serene and relaxing. A real hidden gem. Diana the owner was a pleasure and you can tell she has put in a lot of effort to make her guests feel welcome. The decor is eclectic and unique. The best part of the stay were the friendly dogs on the property that lead you to your villas and accompany you to the beach and pool. Great for both couples and families. Puts Vida!

This is a unique resort that is owner operated. You should be animal friendly because dogs and and a raccoon call this resort home and visit the restaurant frequently. My kids loved it. The rooms are well maintained and have a very nice decor. Two walls are glass (with curtains), so if you open the curtains it’s like full jungle immersion. The adjacent beach is very serene and basically you have it all to yourself. There are plenty of loungers, swings, a hammock, and endless sandy beach to stroll. Beware, though, the waves are very strong and there are rip currents. We had a wonderful few days. But the resort is pretty secluded, away from the hustle and bustle of tourist overrun places like Manuel Antonio. it was helpful that I had a car and we could take some trips to other places during our stay.

The staff was friendly and the grounds were nice. One of the only upsides to this property is that the beach is steps away. If you’re coming with a family just beware there aren’t many restaurants in the area. The property as a whole is pretty run down.

The resort offered a nice getaway being away from the busy areas with a semi private beach that wasn’t crowded and had pretty sunset views. The staff were friendly and attentive. Rooms were clean and the style and decor was resort boho chic. Perfect for a secluded Costa Rica vacation. We had a rental car so coming and going to town was easy for us.

A hidden gem right on the beach which goes for miles. Beach is nice sand, rolling pacific warm waves. Hotel has a pool, great rooms and a warm welcome from the host. If you like peace and quiet, this is a great place for you. Only down side is the food is more expensive

Great Accomodation, Secluded Location
Very quant small boutique accommodation in a secluded area of Quopes about 30 minute drive away. Right on a beautiful beach which black sand. More of a location for decompresion than chocked full of activities. Miles of beach to walk on, especially good at low tide where a 100 yards of the beach is exposed. Owner is fabulous, help me set up day trips. Have to drive down a dirt road 3 miles to get to the resort. Again, isolated area.

We brought our family to this resort. We have two children and they loved the pool, the dogs and the raccoon which are pets. You just cross the dirt road to the beach where we cut open coconuts and dipped our feet in the water. We really enjoyed the complementary breakfast. Food was fresh and tasty. We had one dinner there. It was expensive but it was tasty and there are no other restaurants in the area. The property is beautiful and peaceful. There are flowers everywhere. It is sort off the beaten path which we really enjoyed. Its not in a congested area. I would definitely recommend it.

We felt like we had our own private beach at Clandestino. Our kids loved the pool and the pets (including a friendly raccoon named Pepper!). The food was very good and the service was top notch. The rooms were comfortable and the ac worked well. My daughter loved eating mangos from the mango tree all day. Would definitely recommend having a car as the secluded and private location could make getting a taxi difficult. We did day trips to Jaco and Manuel Antonio from clandestino. We had a really nice time and made lifetime memories with our kids at the resort.

Love this place. The laid back vibe. You feel like you have the resort to yourself. The owner Diana is always on hand to help with anything you need. The breakfast was great, we had dinner one night it was also great. We love the dogs that live on the resort as well as the raccoon. They like to hang out with the guests. The beach is secluded and has the most beautiful sunset you will ever see. This was our third time there and we will be back.

Ms. Diana and her staff are absolutely AMAZING!!!! I did not feel well while there and she went out of her way to ensure I got what I needed. Her meals, whether spaghetti, chicken strips or a simple ham n cheese sandwich were prepared with love and came to the table beautifully plated. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed Pipa the raccoon and the pups freely roaming the properly and loving on their visitors. This place is a bit remote, so prepare to take the bumpy road to go/do anything beyond the resort. Note- IF YOU DO NOT LIKE ANIMALS, this place is not for you. ❤️🐕🐈🦝

Upon arriving my family and I felt uncomfortable with the resort's environment and decided to cancel our reservations. The lack of staff, absence of other residents (we were the only ones present), cloudy pool water, danger signs for entering the ocean, lack of lights to welcome visitors, 3 miles of bumpy unpaved road leading up to the location, not allowed to flush toilet paper down the toilet, and emaciated dogs and raccoons roaming the lobby made for an unsavory experience. We ended up leaving, losing our $500 deposit, and staying at a location in Jaco, which we loved.

Lovely hotel in amazing location
Clandestino was beautiful and Diana, the owner just couldn't do enough for us. Lovely room, very comfortable and quiet. Beautiful pool and comfy sunbeds. Good choice for breakfast, will cook any combination you fancy!! We also ate in the restaurant every night and again great choice of food. We ate there every night (8 nights). Location of hotel did not disappoint. Right on the beach - miles of deserted, unspoilt sandy beach and the benefit of both sunrise and sunset. Pretty local for several of the attractions, Rainmaker (waterfalls), Manuel Antonio Nature Reserve and Mangrove boat trip and Diana booked transport for us. The resident pets were great fun and very friendly too! We will definitely go back - thank you Diana
