Company information

We are a couple from The Netherlands who moved to Costa Rica after years of searching and planning. We even backpacked for 1,5 years through Central and South America to find THE best place. We believe we found it right here, come join us!

Property information

We are a small boutique B&B which you'll feel like home. Our property is less than 2 min. walk from one of the most beautiful beaches of Costa Rica; secluded, endless sand to stroll on. Monkeys visiting daily and guaranteed you will see sloths (2 and 3-toed). We have 6 rooms in total (all of them with AC) and a swimming pool with swim-up bar. Please note! Come by car; Playa Matapalo is not suited to visit by public transport (lots of walking to the nearest bus stop, limited amount of restaurants on walking distance, 1 mini market, no ATM and no taxi's)

Neighbourhood information

Beautiful beach surrounded by jungle, lots of wildlife to spot, endless beachwalks, surf, horseback riding and many more activities. Close to Dominical, Uvita and Manuel Antonio park. Day tours e.g. to Corcovado Park or whalewatching (in season).
