Good vibe here, super friendly people and a little away from the busy core of Tamarindo which was nice. Close to the small ferry across the mangrove to playa grande.

We stayed here for nearly a month and had an amazing time! Omar, Merrieane and Juvois were so helpful and kind throughout our stay. They made our trip so special! We were surfing everyday and only a 5 min walk to the beach! Perfecto!
