Las Olas, furnished beachfront cabin with pool.

10/10 for sure! Andy was so helpful and provided first class service. The property was absolutely amazing, world class waves just step away and we saw so many monkeys and parrots. We have been living in Costa Rica on and off for about 20 years and this is by far our favorite placed we stayed. We will be back very soon. We highly recommend Andy’s place.

At Andy’s place the adventure comes to you. People pay to be taken out into the jungle for tours to see wildlife that showed up in our yard with no effort. The road to matopalo is rough - can’t be passed without 4wd. I wish we’d had higher suspension in ours but we managed. Stop at the bakery and the BM supermarket in PJ for food and stock up. There is no reason to return to PJ during your stay at Andy’s if you have enough food/drinks. Bring coconut oil for your legs to prevent sand fleas (this applies to all Costa Rica) deet also works but natural is better. I would call the experience *top notch glamping* you’re really outdoors and one with nature the whole time. Unbelievable surroundings with a bed and pillows, hot running water and a working range. Perfect for my family who’s used to campervan camping. Backwash bay was perfect for swimming. Andy’s place was perfect for watching surfers, sunrises and sunsets. Keep an eye out for bioluminescence after sunset!! & THE SWING AH!

Great place, bring some groceries and settle in for some off grid immersion in beautiful nature.

it‘s a lovely place, close to the beach and basically in the jungle, lots of wildlife like monkeys, aras, agutis etc… a proper experience… the house is simple but offers all you need… would go there again

Our Family of 5 really enjoyed it here. This is a a very special place and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for adventure, or just wanting to relax. We did both. The tree climb was a unique and memorable experience. Myself and our 12 & 14 old all made it to the top. The jump out was exhilarating. . Andy’s son was absolutely great. What an amazing life. Thank you Talon for the fresh caught fish! So thoughtful!……We’ll get that ping pong game in next time!. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you!

We had a great week at Andy's place. The entire space is open air, which means we woke up to the sounds of the birds and monkeys each morning. The solar system powers a full size fridge, lights and outlets throughout. Propane powers the gas range and water heaters in each of the showers. The bedrooms / bathroom space are awesome with private open air showers and beds under mosquito nets. The property itself is oceanfront with a beautiful beach, surf break and good fishing. We loved jumping in the pool to cool off and our boys couldn't get enough of the huge tree-swing in Andy's back yard. We had a mid-size 4x4 to get around and it was needed to make it the last 2km down the road to Andy's place. We loved exploring the area - including a highly recommended tree climbing adventure with Andy and trips to Martina's and Carate, Backwash Bay, Playa Dulce, and Sombrero beaches.

Andrew was fantastic. Very informative about the animals and the area. The location is ideal, right on the Ocean. Beautiful gardens and a great swimming pool.

Wir haben es bei Andy sehr genossen! Die Lage in der Natur und direkt am Meer ist traumhaft. Andy als Gastgeber war sehr freundlich, unkompliziert und hilfsbereit.

We had an amazing time at Andrew’s cabin in the jungle. Matapalo is to die for - it’s the perfect “Swiss family Robinson” get away. Andrew was great - always around to guide us in the right direction but never overstayed his welcome. He showed us the monkeys, sloths and wildlife on his property and checked in every day to make sure we were happy. The cabin is not for the faint of heart as it has no windows and is totally open to the elements to help air flow in the hot weather. It was perfect by day, but just a little scary at night as the sounds of the jungle tended to keep us awake in fear that something might get in. On the flip side, if you want a vacation completely in the wilderness, surrounded by amazing scenery, the most beautiful beaches and wildlife you’ve probably never seen before, this is definitely the place for you. We are already making plans to go back next year. We loved Matapalo and Andrew made it perfect!
