  Be prepared to go back in time to a much simpler, rustic and authentic beach vacation existed. The house is straight out of Swiss Family Robinson and presents an amazing stage to the concert of benefits of this paradise - the roaring waves, the untouched habitat and beach that felt like we had it all to ourselves. It was simply incredible and allowed me to bond and connect with my 9 year old son in ways that were authentic and in nature. The kayaks through the mangrove, the surfing, the horseback riding offered moments of wonder for both of us. The staff at this incredible oasis are incredibly friendly, helpful, hospitable and most importantly, nice! Marjori, Flori, and Willem met us with a smile, cooked delicious Costa Rican food and made our stay simply perfect. I would highly recommend for people who want a vacation getaway that is secluded, beautiful and relaxing. If you require Liz amenities, constant activities and entertainment, this is not the place for you. Thank you, Alfredo, Marjori, Flori and Willem!

  This place is remote! They recommend a 4-wheel drive vehicle to get over the peninsula mountains and to the beach, but we made it in a 2-wheel drive SUV (we weren\'t able to get a 4wd) - based on the numerous dirt roads and the quality of some of them (and this was in the dry season), I\'d definitely recommend a 4WD vehicle. The place itself has 2 buildings with bedrooms upstairs and community gathering downstairs (covered but with no walls). I only saw the 2 rooms in our building, but they weren\'t great: I\'d describe this place more like a hostel, and that\'s not what we were expecting or wanting. Our room had one wall shared with a hallway that guests of the other room had to walk through, and that wall didn\'t extend to the ceiling - this means that noise and light gets into the room and you can easily hear people downstairs (and noise escapes this room, if you\'re concerned about privacy). This partial-wall also allows for insects or bats to enter the room (there were some bats at the property every night we were there and they did fly into the "loft" or "living room" area just outside our room and the hallway, but didn\'t enter our room, but bugs did). Another wall of our room, adjacent to the loft/living room, also was a partial wall, but the top part was "finished" with some lattice and screen (the screen was pointless since bugs could enter through the other half-wall). The furnishings were basic and the room had a queen bed (or king?) with a bunkbed - designed for lots of people, hostel-style. When anyone walked by our room, the floor/walls/windows rattled with each step. Our room did have it\'s own bathroom with shower (basic, but do-able) - I\'m told that the other building\'s 2 rooms share a bathroom. ALso, the lock in the door to our room was a joke: the door handle was almost falling off the door, the lock was an antique (the key looked like something that would fit into a pirate\'s treasure chest), and the lock was broken such that you had to jiggle the key around in the lock for 5 minutes before you could catch and turn the lock to lock *or unlock* it (if there was a fire, your quickest escape would be to break through the door or window). This room technically doesn\'t have an ocean view unless you open the curtains to your room and look through the window and through the hallway windows, which means that the guest in the other room walking through the hallway can look into your room. The downstairs community areas are quite nice. Each bu
