“Waking up in the middle of a cocoa farm was very unique!”
Beautiful and unique location. Everything you need, even coffee for the morning, a fridge and some board games. Very friendly host. Even saw some frogs, birds and a sloth on a tour around the farm. We had a beautiful stay.

“Amazing place.”
We arrived way late and we were greeted by the owner on a dark street. And there is when the awesomeness began. The place was a small studio on a dark cocoa plantation. We opened all the doors to (screens to keep out the bugs of course) and heard a lot of birds and animals. Sitting there in middle of "jungle" and only sounds were animals and birds was just magical. Slept like a babies. Next day we walked in the plantation and it was cocoa harvest day so we ate some fresh cocoa and owner told us about cocoa production. Basically a private tour ;). Tasty homemade breakfast was delivered by owner. And no strict check out time - chill. Definate place to visit for a one of a kind experience when you are passing by. Thank you.

Very helpful owners, even when we locked ourselves out of the house at 9pm they were very kind and travelled to open it with a spare key.

“Excellent due to Oscar!”
Oscar was super friendly!! Made our stay a perfect stop on the way to Tortuguero! The house we stayed in was built for private purpose and it is Costa Rican standard - still, ok as this way we had a kitchen to cook… What I really liked are the 2 person cabines they set up on the farm! Perfect little room, nice modern bathroom and great view! You can open up to sleep „in nature“ - lovely place!!!

Oscar is a really nice host! Can recommend to book his chocolate tour also, was really interesting. Food in his restaurant tastes amazing. Typical Costa Rican breakfast was also very good!

A cozy converted shipping container just outside of town in the middle of a cacao plantation. A chocolate lover's dream! Upon arrival, Oscar, the hospitable owner picks some cacao pods for us, opening the ripest one so we can try a cocoa bean. Delicious! We savour the flavour as he explains the chocolate making process. A gift of candied cacao beans is our next tasty treat. Oscar is a good cook as well and breakfast is served at his restaurant about a kilometer away. Be sure to try the tea made from cacao bean shells. Candied, flavoured cacao beans, chocolate and cacao teas are available for sale. This was one of our favourite places to stay in Costa Rica. Oscar made us feel so welcome and was so helpful, always available if needed. Such a great and interesting experience. We wish we could have stayed longer.
