Stunning ocean view. Suite had wall to wall glass doors and from the moment we opened the door we were greeted with a beautiful ocean view. Loved the balcony and specially the small private pool. We enjoyed seeing small fishing boats as well as bigger ships lined up for their entrance to the Puntarenas dock, and we even saw a couple of macaws flying by. Very pretty decor and furnishings with lots of wood and nice details such as flowers in the bath towels. Good to have small fridge, microwave and hot plate.

The property was immaculate and the staff, who I believe are a small family team, had great attention to detail. We arrived late evening with my 5 year old asleep in arms, they sent for someone to help with my bags and sent me and my son to the room straight away before husband had finished doing check in formalities. That was a lovely touch. Room was very comfortably furnished and well maintained, proper black out curtains, comfortable large beds, bedside lighting, professionally made bed and bedding etc. breakfast was excellent, served with a big smile and you could tell good hygiene was being excersized. Very impressed.

We were only here for one night, but the place was very clean and comfortable. Even though there is no desk staff, the hosts did a great job communicating everything we needed through the app.

Good base to go on river tour (birds, crocodiles) and walking tour of Carara Park (strongly recommend a private guide). Very hot; get a room with air conditioning, and get to the park when it opens to avoid heat and crowds, and increase wildlife spotting.

This is a great spot for birders.

This is a great spot for birders. Walking the road to the lodge in the early morning was the best birding I've ever experienced. So many species seem to travel along the ridge. The birding tower was a great spot for late afternoon/sunset views and observations. The room was fine. The bed is not the most comfortable and there is no sound barrier between rooms, but I wasn't there for relaxation.

Tarcoles is a fishing village between two rivers.

Tarcoles is a fishing village between two rivers. It is an excellent place to base yourself for birdwatching and potentially could be great for sea fishing given the amount of fish landed. Chepes Bar / Restaurant is a good choice for meals or at the other end of town the hotel House of Macaws. This is the real Costa Rica with real Costa Ricans living there. No Banks, No souvenir shops, no shoe shops, no clothes shops. Just Grocery Shops and cafes. It is close to the Carara National Park which is well worth a visit and there are hourly buses to Jaco which has the nearest ATM and a variety of shops
