Simply amazing.

The property is basically right at the beach, so you have brekfast while looking at the waves. That was really stunning. We have dietary restrictions (no gluten) and we were able to get GF breakfasts at the property. Cleaning happened every day, the staff is friendly and there is a minimarket and restaurants within walking/driving distance. Two times in one week a group of capuchin monkeys dropped in for a visit. Really a beautiful place.

The internet has some room to improve, going to the bathroom in our room meant no signal. Not a particularly optimal situation. Luckily, we had Starlink, and with some creativity with a dustpan and some zip ties the problem was resolved, but it would be nice if there was no need to do this in the first place. But admittedly, our use case was a bit different to a regular guest here as we were working remotely, so if you want to just disconnect this will not be an issue as the internet is available.

Die Unterkunft hat die perfekte Lage, um am Strand zu entspannen. Jeden Morgen werden Liegen aufgestellt. Meine Freundin und ich waren meist die Einzigen weit und breit. Wer Ruhe sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Innerhalb von 30 Minuten mit dem Auto ist man beim Manuel Antonio Nationalpark und bei den Nauyaca-Wasserfällen. Unser Zimmer war sauber und es gab alles, was man zum kochen brauchte. Da es keine richtigen Fenster gibt, wird es im Zimmer mit der Klimaanlage nicht so kalt, wie in anderen Zimmern mit Klimaanlage. Für meine Freundin und mich war das aber nie ein Problem. Wir konnten immer gut schlafen. Für das Frühstück konnte man zwischen Omelette, Rührei und Pancakes wählen. Dazu gab es immer Früchte, Kaffee und Saft.

A wonderful place to stay, relax, and truly enjoy Costa Rica. The atmosphere was peaceful, the breakfasts were delicious, and the hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. Everything made my stay feel special, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you one more time for everything!

Just what we were looking for!!!

We couldn't have asked for a better stay. The staff is so nice and the breakfast each morning was beautiful served in the garden area. We loved the beach and could walk for miles. Most of the time it was only us and our dogs. It was really great to be out of the high tourist area of Manual Antonio. The little town had a couple of good restaurants to choose from, which was perfect. Just a great stay all around.

Can't think of a thing.

Der Strand ist unglaublich schön und nur wenige Meter von den Zimmern entfernt. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker. Das Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war sauber und wurde jeden Tag frisch gemacht.

Wir hatten leider bei der Buchung übersehen, das bei unserem Zimmer das Bad separat ist. Mussten deshalb immer aus dem Zimmer und in das Bad gegenüber. Das sollte bei der Buchung beachtet werden.
