Beautiful, needs tiny attention and th staff should be a little bit more proactive

Lovely location though not easy to swim in that beach due to hidden rocks. Road to get there challenging. Loved the yoga space Pity that staff didn’t mention on arrival the opportunity to take classes in the morning. Loved the bathrooms structure.

Lovely Cabanas

Nice little lodge (only 8 Cabanas), wonerful forrest setting, but at the beach. They even had a swimming pool. Lots of things to explore from there eventhough it felt like being at the end of the world (road) ;-). You could wildlife like birds and monkeys passing by just from your terrasse. Breakfast was to choose between 'styles', coffee was very good. If you fancy to have lunch or dinner, the kitchen makes tasty food. A few other restaurants are reachable even on foot.

I recommend this place but not if you have mobility issues.

Breakfast was good. Staff was awesome. Old growth Jungle setting was beautiful right on the ocean. Private little Aframe cabins. Wonderful.

If I have to imagine paradise, there is it for real.

It's close to Nature Good food, very nice people, Laundry is good and fast You can eat close to the ocean, between palms if you want to. There are a lot of hammocks you can relax in. Everything is very clean. If you need something they are happy to help you with. Awesome pool area.

Charming stay near Tamarindo

We had a cute little house right at the beach. Lovely swimming pool. Great kitchen. One evening the place turned into an outdoor cinema. Fantastic atmosphere. Lovely owners and staff members.
