Beachfront on Chiquita Beach
wonderful home; totally open air; easily available and pleasant caretaker, David. The howler monkeys and the jungle birds were just awesome. the beach is reached by a very short path and is quite private.The cabana was very appreciated by guests. It would be a marvelous place for older kids (not toddlers, due to open stairs) and families. The restaurant just down the beach is great; Da Lime.

Open Beach House IN Nature
This place is remarkable— the views, the sounds, the breeze, the smells. This property has views of a very secluded beach. And you are in nature. Like in it in it. No windows or walls. The open walls and beautiful amenities make it a unique nature retreat. If you are squeamish about occasional bugs (or the stereo sounds
of cicadas, howler monkeys, macaws) you should stay in a boring hotel. David is an excellent manager— Responsive and accommodating.

Magical Jungle Escape — With Some Jungle Grit
We had a great stay in this magical open to the jungle treasure. There are multiple bedrooms that are open to the outdoors (and one enclosed for the timid). Wonderful sleeping (and waking) to waves, howler monkey’s and macaw’s was a great to-be remembered experience.
We were blessed by a two-toed sloth outside our entrance — closer than any we saw in multiple park visits; regular agouti’s; and more. The location was wonderful; steps to a beach (too rough for swimming, but great for stroll, sit and sunrises); short walk into Cocles (which has a great bakery); short drive or tuk-tuk to Puerto Viejo; and close to parks (DO visit the Macaw sanctuary).
Do be ready for quirks/grit. The two best bedrooms open to the jungle are kind of open to each other, so privacy not a high point. Multiple showers — but mixed bag on water warmth and flow (and could use more soap/shampoo). And, it IS open…so animals can/do stroll through when you’re out and you need to be thoughtful on where/how you store food.
Very responsive owners and local help (such as to replace gas tank for cooking).
