This small-scale Costa Rica resort sits right on the water's edge at the heart of Playa Potrero. The rooms are all large and feature contemporary decor with bright primary colors at every turn, although the furnishings are rather sparse. All have either a private balcony or shared veranda, and most of these are strung with hammocks. They also have fully equipped studio and two-bedroom apartments that are a good bet for longer stays. The midsize pool is set in a small grassy lawn, just beyond the beach. The pool features a Jacuzzi above it, whose water cascades down a faux-waterfall into it. The large open-air restaurant serves fresh seafood and international fare, and offers wonderful views of Potrero Bay.
