I was looking for a beautiful, quiet spot--away from tourist crowds--for a solo writing retreat. Helen and the staff at La Palapa could not have been kinder or more respectful of my need for solitude. The room was lovely and comfortable. Perfect for my needs ... exactly what I was imagining and more! The bath towels were the most luxurious of anywhere I have ever stayed in Costa Rica! The pool was so refreshing. I enjoyed long walks in the countryside. My time at La Palapa was pure delight. Pura Vida!

Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The hotel offers pool views, a terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available.

We enjoyed very much our stay at Coco Beach Village which is located just 1 minute (by walk) from amazing Matapalo beach. Our room was spacious, very clean and all rooms are overlooking the beautiful garden with the nice pool. The owners David and Roja are both lovely. David even showed us the sloths on the beach and organised surf lessons with a great instructor. It is very quiet and perfectly located to easily reach all attractions of the surrounding (for example Manuel Antonio and Marino Ballena national parks) or just to spend a relaxing beach day (my wife got a 1 hour massage from a lady directly at Matapalo beach which was fantastic). In addition, also the breakfast was very nice.

    We loved how spacious and private this home was. It is secluded yet a reasonable distance from more frequented areas such as Uvita, Dominical, and Manuel Antonio, making it a perfect base to visit each place. My children really enjoyed playing in the nearby river - so refreshing after a day in the heat and sun!

    it’s a good location (good base for Dominical and Quepos/Manuel Antonio) surrounded by nature. peaceful and quite a wild and understated feel to it. The price we paid made it great value. we were also very grateful for an upgrade on arrival to a lodge that suited our family much better.
