Location
The property is situated in the hills of Playa Pelada, just a 10-minute walk from the beach. Transportation such as a car, ATV, or golf cart is recommended since the location is a bit farther from Guiones and Nosara Town. TukTuks are also available as an affordable taxi option around town.
Check-in time is 4:00 PM, and check-out is at 10:00 AM. Early check-in or late check-out requests can be made but may be limited during full bookings to allow adequate cleaning time.
Smoking is permitted only outside the property.
Nature and Environment
Costa Rica is one of the most biologically diverse countries in the world. If you enjoy adventure, nature, and relaxation, this is an excellent destination. However, insects and bugs are common due to the jungle surroundings. If you are uncomfortable with insects, this may not be the ideal location.
Because the property is immersed in nature, food—even crumbs—can attract ants and other insects. Guests are asked to clean up after themselves to minimize unwanted visitors.
The property emphasizes water and energy conservation. Fresh towels are available upon request from the housekeeper. Pool and beach towels are provided on-site, so you don’t need to bring extra towels.
Before entering the pool, guests are asked to rinse off sand and dirt using the outdoor shower located next to the pool.
If you would like assistance booking excursions or rentals, the concierge is available to help plan your vacation filled with fun and adventure.
