This place is located right on the beach and offers good value for someone looking for a clean, cool, and comfortable room, as well as easy access to the waves. Most of the rooms are housed in a long, two-story block set perpendicular to the beach.

Each comes with a queen-size and twin bed and a private balcony overlooking the free-form pool. Those closest to the water will also give you a glimpse of the sea. The suites come with king-size beds, a separate sitting room, and fully stocked kitchenette. Everything is well maintained, and the restaurant here boasts a good view of the beach action.

Visit Manuel Antonio National Park, only 1 hour South on the Central Pacific Coast. Here you can enjoy bird watching and Costa Rica's wildlife. Or spend a day in Quepos, next to Manuel Antonio, famous for its world class sportfishing. Have a wonderful vacation in Costa Rica.
