"This is the perfect tranquil place to relax and enjoy both Costa Rican nature and the beauty of the beach and pacific ocean. The atomosphere is quiet, the staff is kind and accommodating, the property grounds are maintained well, the rooms are comfortable. Access to pool and food is convenient. I love the hammocks everywhere to lounge in. The location is close enough to Quepos and Jaco for a day trip to check out the touristy areas but remote enough to get away. This is our second stay here...

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will find this area ideal.
