Each room here will provide you with a terrace, an outdoor seating area and a safety-deposit box. The kitchens include a refrigerator and kitchenware, while the private bathroom comes with a shower and a hairdryer. You can enjoy garden view from the room.

I loved the simplicity and the location of the lodge. Everything environmentally proper in the midst of nature and very close to an amazing beach. In the morning I heard the gang of Howler Monkeys - just beautiful to be part of nature at Pachamama. The host Elisa was so caring and lovely - just amazing. On my day of my arrival in San Jose she guided me from the airport to that very lovely and still affordable place which I arrived at night. The next morning she came with a frog in her hand and showed my the kayaks. One hour later, I made this breathtaking small river journey to this gorgeous beach - just amazing...

    Really beautiful bungalow and surroundings, nice pool, everything kept meticulously clean, great location (quiet but in 10 - 15 min by foot there are supermarktes and restaurants on the main road where you can flag down a tuktuk which are passing by all day), agoutis in the garden ... and Marianna was a great host!

    We love love loveddd it here. It was out of the city centre and within nature. The accommodation itself was good - our room was big enough for two people but most of the time we hung out by the pool. It was quiet & peaceful. Our hosts gave us a small breakfast everyday and it was perfect. We had a car so easy to buzz around - the beach was close and a nice little drive/run. Would highly recommend staying here as we would love to stay here again one day.

    Great hostel. It has a quiet location at the outskirt of town, but still within walking distance of everything. The outside seating area is perfect to relax and meet other travellers. Staff was also wonderful.

    Lovely decorated room that did not make us miss a single thing; the property with the pool is stunning (and provides everything: water fountain, honesty bar, beach & pool towels/pads, floaties, umbrellas, …) on a quiet road and at the same time just a 3min walk to the beach as well as the city center; the breakfast that we booked (9$ a person) was delicious and prepared with a lot of love and care; Dominique and Martin are amazing hosts; lots of tips on tours and restaurants and help with renting bikes and booking transfers etc.

    Really great hosts that made us feel super welcome and gave us a lot of tips. The apartments are very spacious, in a quiet street but walking distance to the city center. The rooms are also cleaned every day and we received the best breakfast during our stay.
