Our favorite part about our stay was actually where we were at. We chose the affordable cabins next to Carabelas restaurant and they were amazing. The cabins were so surrounded by nature and felt completely private away from everyone else.

The property is a compound. It’s isolated from the next towns and the public transportation to leave the property was not reliable. The prices inside the resort were outrageous!

This property is a resort. I believe there were 3 pools (1 was for children) a poolside bar, an tiki sushi bar. Two private beaches one right by the pools the other you drive a short distance to, definitely worth the drive, there were quite a few monkeys one with a baby on its back. Others trying to steel water out of peoples bags at the picnic tables. So fun!! It’s definitely a 5 star. The rental we were in was like a small condo unit with 2 units per place. All soundproofed. You can get 2 bedrooms, I believe I saw 3 bedroom units. It had it all. Everyone was so friendly. If I come back to Costa Rica this is where I’ll be.
Private beach probably 5 to 10 mins away
