Living in La Casita for a week is like having your own little home 140 steps from the sand of my favorite breach in the world. It is situated where the water is calmest and swimming is great even for kids. Small beach chairs are provided. The kitchen is fully equipped. A good sized grocery store is a fifteen minute walk away or you can have a taxi stop there or at the supermarket in Playa del Coco (just 3 km away) as part of a drive to a restaurant. Playa Hermosa has several good restaurants and at many you can dine next to the beach. The restaurants at Hotel Bosque Del Mar and at Villa Del Sueno are even a few steps closer to La Casita than the walk to the beach. The restaurant at the latter has excellent music on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays but reservations are advised. Lina is a warm and gracious host. We have stayed at four different hotels in Playa Hermosa over the years but if you want to feel like a local expat instead of a tourist, this is the place for you.
