beautiful location, friendly and helpful staff, good food
United States of AmericaWonderful, hidden gem tucked away from everything. peaceful & family-friendly place. felt like a home stay with a welcoming family. short walk to the beach. home cooked meals. rustic accommodations that help you feel at one with nature. Guillermo went out of his way to book us tours & ensure we had a great time.
United States of AmericaI can’t say enough wonderful things about this property and the family that owns it. The food is delicious. They helped organize a day trip to Corcovado for me and had everything planned. The trail nearby follows the coast for an enjoyable hike surrounded by jungle and wildlife. Beautiful sunset views from the beach. 10/10!
United States of AmericaGreat experience at the Sunset Tucano Lodge. The location was amazing with gorgeous, secluded beaches. I felt honored and well cared for with delicious meals and everything I needed. It was truly a great visit.
United States of Americait was a beautiful and very natural location. the hosts were perfect- welcoming and helpful. it felt like visiting long lost relatives who wanted to make sure you enjoyed your trip. the food was great too.
United States of AmericaBeautiful setting and garden. Close the incredible beaches. it was paradise. The people were super friendly. Accomodations are not luxurious, but nice, comfortable and very clean. I will be back and I will be sending my friends.
United States of AmericaWe stayed for 6 nights in this unique "back to nature" lodge, and loved it! One new cabin will be finished being built in a month, and a second new cabin will be completed by year-end, making 5 rental cabins total. We REALLY enjoyed the delicious food and the families who took care of our every need, including arranging tours and ground transportation (we rode the Sierpe ferry boat to get here, and flew from Drake Bay airport to leave). We saw a lot of wildlife on this property. Nearby Corcovado National Park with it's small-sized tour groups was one of our favorite parks for watching animals in all of Costa Rica.
United States of AmericaThe care taken to make sure our stay was the best it could be. The beautiful piece of property with the feeling of being a part of the nature all around. The meals were amazing and we felt so valued by Guillermo and staff. The escorts to make sure we got to the right boats on time. The great conversations and family presence yet with respect of privacy. it was perfect! want to come back for a longer stay.
United States of AmericaEveryone was so helpful, accommodating and relaxed. I loved the details and flowers on the dinner table. The family is so welcoming. The beach was close by, it's surrounded by paradise!
CroatiaWe had a wonderful 4 night stay. Guillermo and Isaac were amazing in making us feel comfortable and helping with advice and booking tours. They were great to talk to about local culture and what birds and other wildlife we were seeing. The food was fantastic and fresh and they readily accommodated our vegetarian diet. Some nights their young sons helped out so it was a family affair. Rooms were very clean.
