Small, cozy, friendly, quiet....we stayed for a month in the jungle of Guanacaste with Gary and his dog, Wally!
The pool is wonderfully shady in the afternoons, Gary is a warm and friendly host, helpful and kind.
We were looking for someplace near to beaches, great sunsets, and no crowds....meeting the locals, shopping the local markets, etc.
This is the perfect spot to just sit back and relax.
