Finca las Hormigas

I had a lovely stay with Janet! If you are someone not used to jungle living, be aware that there are plenty of ants/bugs/etc around. This is not a place for you if you're looking for 100% cleanliness, luxury, & total privacy. It is a small room within a shared apartment surrounded by incredible nature and wildlife. It is about a 35-minute walk or a 4-8 minute drive from the Puerto Viejo De Talamanca bus stop. It's steps away from the sea (Playa Cocles). There is no shower head, just a pipe, but the water got nice and hot. Gerald is the ram who roams around outside, and Kitty is the cat who spends a lot of time sleeping inside. Janet was very kind, generous, & helpful throughout the week I stayed there (LGBTQ+ friendly). This is a chill place for people who would love to wake up & fall asleep to the sounds of the sea, wildlife, & don't mind a little dirt/sand around. Janet & the other guests staying there were kind & friendly. We had many nice times socializing together.

We had an amazing time here and were absolutely delighted! The house is literally right by the sea, and waking up to the sound of the waves was a real pleasure. The beach is simply magnificent: beautiful, wild, with practically no people, which creates a feeling of complete privacy and relaxation. The house itself is very cozy, clean and perfectly prepared for living – you can tell that the hosts take care of the comfort of guests. There is everything you need for living! I would like to specifically mention the hostess, an incredibly kind, responsive, and considerate person. She was always in touch, responded quickly, and sincerely tried to help, while being completely unobtrusive. I was also pleasantly surprised by the location. Everything you need is within walking distance. I would like to note the perfect value for money. We would love to come back again and definitely recommend it!

Amazing as always 🤍

Very nice owner, a nice place with a good location and impeccable service. I am grateful for the treatment and service I received.

Excellent service, very friendly and always available. A very peaceful place to be

everything was perfect. the beach bungalow is very sweet. janet was very forthcoming and helpful.

A wonderful stay at Janet's for the start of my trip to Costa Rica! A Caribbean house on a beautiful plot 30 m from the beach. Rocked every night by the sound of the waves and awakened in the morning by birds and monkeys, it's the perfect place to relax and unwind. Nature is very present: monkeys, sloths, butterflies and thousands of birds live around the house. The most pleasant was the warm welcome from Janet. We immediately felt comfortable and welcomed as if we were part of the family… thank you very much Janet for these two relaxing weeks. If you go to Cocles, don't hesitate, it's the ideal place! And Janet has other magical places to offer you in the area! Take a good look at all its offers... I hope to return to this peaceful retreat one day. Thank you 🙏

I had such an amazing time there, Janet is an incredible host. She’s always asking how you are and how she can make you have a better experience :) Don’t doubt to stay at her room.
