«The moment I saw this listing, I was obsessed with the uniqueness and the beauty of the bungalows. I knew that we wanted to go to a beach in Costa Rica and did not want to stay in an all inclusive because it would be too easy to just stay on the property. Finding the Ocho Artisan Bungalows provided the perfect solution. Not only would we be right on the beach, we would be immersed in the Tico culture by walking to the grocery store, going out to eat and going on excursions.
After a long day of zip-lining at Arenal and driving 4 hours in a rental car to Tamarindo, Shon welcomed us to Ocho Artisan Bungalows with big hugs, had our bags all brought to our bungalow and showed us around. Seeing this property in person was even more amazing than the pictures revealed but we were exhausted so we went to sleep early. The first morning we were welcomed by the howler monkeys at 5 am. Never before have our kids voluntarily gotten out of bed (especially so early). We all had to see what the commotion was about and to our surprise, they were much smaller than expected by the noise they made! We went for a morning jog on the beach and came back to Shon bringing fresh bread, fruit, coffee and other treats.
We were lucky to have 6 nights in this beautiful place. Each day was more special that the day before (and the monkeys never woke us up in the early hours again). We enjoyed getting to know Shon, Mika and their beautiful daughters. Their friendly conversation encouraged all (even a sweet stray cat) to mingle in the pool and outdoor lounge area. We were able to meet many wonderful people staying in the other bungalows and shared our experiences from the day. In the morning, Maria was there with a smile to answer any questions and arrange excursions. It was evident from the staff that they love what they do- they were all amazing.»
