My boyfriend and I were originally very excited about our stay at Colores del Pacifico. The pictures looked beautiful, as did the idea of sunsets in Playa Flamingo, and in general we were looking forward to relaxing at this property. Little did we know, our stay at Colores del Pacifico was our most stressful travel experience to date.

Colores del Pacifico is located near the top of a hill, and given the hot temperatures in the region and lack of rainfall, it is a region prone to fires. On our third day at Colores, when we were returning from a day at the beach, we spotted a fire near the top of the hill. As we approached in our taxi, we saw a number of employees hosing down the property next door, which was entirely lit in flames. Needless to say, Colores del Pacifico was in a cloud of smoke, and was at risk of going under fire as well. My boyfriend and I were told to quickly collect our belongings and leave, in the interest of our own safety. So we did just that, and ran down the long road from Colores with all our bags, in search of a hotel.

Given the last minute notice, we were only able to find a run-down hotel to stay in that evening, our last night in Costa Rica. We called Ben, Colores' manager, to check in on the fire and request reimbursement for the night's stay - which he agreed to. Over the past year, we've emailed Ben ~10-15 times asking for our reimbursement, and despite numerous responses from him, we have yet to receive our reimbursement, and it is very clear he does not intend to reimburse us.

I am telling you this story because I highly recommend staying elsewhere in Playa Flamingo. While the staff appears friendly, if anything goes wrong (Re: FIRE), they will not help you or reimburse you. They're also located at the top of the hill, and it is an expensive taxi ride to get to anywhere else in Playa Flamingo. You will be much better off staying at one of the many hotels located at ground level, closer to the water, and near restaurants in the area.

I have never written a TripAdvisor review before, but I felt it was necessary given the abysmal treatment we've received since our stay at Colores. I urge you to strongly consider staying elsewhere!

PROPERTY PRONE TO FIRES. PLEASE READ BEFORE CONSIDERING A STAY AT COLORES DEL PACIFICO.

Booked this on Airbnb and had a lovely experience. When we arrived, there was a misunderstanding about our reservation, however the host welcomed us and accommodation was taken care of promptly. This place is so special and beautiful. The decor and whole structure of the property is so well thought out down to the smallest details. We learned during our stay that it will only be open for rent to the public for a few more months. Soon it will return to a private residence with long term rental options in the extended rooms. 
If you are lucky enough to stay here you will love it.
It is hard to leave once you are there.

Paradise

I had a very unfortunate event happen to me prior to staying at Colores del Pacifico. All my important belongings got stolen at the Tamarindo Beach and I came to Colores in despair. The owners were so kind and accommodating. They tried to help me in any way they can. Aside from the people the property is absolutely beautiful, built on top of a hill over looking the water surrounding the cove, I've had many days where I just soaked in the infinity pool pondering about various things and finding the appreciation surrounding. I would love to go back again.

Beautiful property, wonderful people

We arrived at Colores del Pacifico after booking through Expedia. We found out after we got the that Expedia did not book our room or confirm it. Ben, the owner did give us a room and was generous about the confusion. It will most likely be my last time booking with Expedia. A few things about this property:

It's beautiful. The rooms are nice and the pool is lovely with a great view.

It is no longer a bed and breakfast. You go to a shared kitchen and can get fruit and yogurt. They are actually shutting down soon as a place to stay.

Rent a car. You will want and need it. It's easy to get around. Drive to different beaches and restaurants. Are favorite bean turned out to be Playa Flamingo. 

Are favorite restaurant in the area was Cafe Celeste. Look it up. It was always a great dining experience. Coco Loco on Playa Flamingo beach was another favorite. The fish tacos are excellent.

There were bugs in our room and we found three scorpions. I was not bothered by this because it's Costa Rica and to be expected. My wife was freaked out and hardly slept all week. We also had a fairly large snake outside of our room one night. Bring a flashlight so you can scan the walkway as you enter your room. 

Overall, the Colores...was a nice place to stay. Playa Flamingo was such a laid back, beautiful town. Loved it and the people!

Nice stay.

We booked this place with Air b&b. It was the best investment my friends and I ever made. It was beautiful. We stayed for 6 days, 5 nights. So much better than staying in a hotel. It was in the mountains. Every morning we woke up and went right to the infinity pool. The owner, Ben was also very nice and was able to provide us with anything we needed. The accommodations were also great! Very clean and just so relaxing. It was kind of like being in a lavish tree house. So many levels and surrounded by so much nature and beauty! I already want to go back!
