About Us

We are a Costa Rican family that has transformed our favorite corner of paradise into a welcoming space for travelers from around the world. Located in the heart of Playa Hermosa de Garabito, in the province of Puntarenas, our beachfront boutique aparthotel offers direct access to the ocean and an unparalleled connection with nature.

Playa Hermosa was recently designated the first World Surfing Reserve in Central America and the eleventh globally by the “Save the Waves Coalition.” This recognition highlights the unique combination of exceptional waves, biodiversity, and a strong commitment to conservation that define our beach. Locally known as the “National Surfing Stadium,” Playa Hermosa is as iconic to surfers as major stadiums are to soccer fans—cementing its status as the cathedral of surfing in Costa Rica. At Aparthotel Olabonita, we welcome you as part of our family. Whether you're here to ride the waves, relax under the sun, or simply enjoy the sound of the sea, you'll find a home away from home with us.

We offer studio and full apartments, ideal for couples, families, or small groups. Each unit features a fully equipped kitchen, utensils, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and best of all—just steps from the ocean! Some apartments offer ocean views or direct beach access from your terrace. After a day of surfing or exploring, our pool is the perfect place to unwind. The atmosphere is safe, peaceful, and surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. It's common to spot nesting sea turtles, hermit crabs, and occasionally jellyfish along the shore, offering a unique and intimate experience with nature. More than just a place to stay, Aparthotel Olabonita is our home—and we want it to feel like yours during your visit. We're always available to ensure your experience is warm, memorable, and filled with the true “Pura Vida” spirit.
