The best place to explore the region. A great host with lots of tips about beaches and activities.
You can go walking (200m) to the place of arribadas!

The hosts, Louis and Veronica, were very welcoming. The room was very nice, and we were within walking distance of some restaurants that we liked quite a bit. The property was very close to the turtle reserve. Would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

We stayed at the tree house. The room was spotless with a kitchen that we utilized during out stay. The balcony facing the mangrove was a great place to sit and listen to the ocean waves and watch for animals. We saw howler monkey, mangrove crab, squirrels, black vulture, hummingbird....etc at the tree house. We enjoyed our 2 night stay here. Thank you!

Luis and Veronica share their love of this area and make great recommendations where to eat. I was here for the sea turtles and they recommended an exceptional guide who was knowledgeable about the beach, the ocean and he knows his sea turtles!!!
I will return!!!♥️👏🐢🌊🌎

The property is walking distance from the main turtle nesting beach which was our main focus.
The rooms are simple but adequate, a clothes
hanging rack or clothes drying line would be a great (and cheap) improvement.
There is very little in the area (1 provision shop & a couple of eating joints) and a Tuk Tuk ride to the closest “town” is USD $20 one way.
Our first time in Costa Rica and the cost of transportation and food have taken our breath away. Made us much more grateful for where we live 😆

The property was nice, but the surrounding area seemed sketchy. A notification board outlined beach rules, including nighttime beach access, except during arribadas (mass turtle nesting events) when a fee is required for turtle searching. The board prohibited white lights on the beach, yet we observed people using them in run-down shacks, raising concerns. Many restaurants were closed, possibly due to the holidays. Renting an SUV, Jeep, or truck is advisable for navigating washed-out roads in the area.

Great place to stay
Excellent location to see the turtles!
Room large, beds comfortable, shower hot and powerful.
Fridge and air-con a plus.
Could do with heavier, thicker curtains.
