La Ponderosa
Unnamed Road, Pavones, Costa Rica – Excellent location – show map
This secret part of Costa Rica is very much off the beaten path, but worth every mile down the beautiful west coast! It was exactly what we were looking for. The landscaping of The Ponderosa was intricately laid out with tropical vegetation and walkways that wind around to the different units. You barely saw the other buildings. Our room was upstairs with a screened in porch where we could drink coffee in the morning or enjoy the fabulous sunset as we sipped our wine. The beach is filled with rocky outcrops but has many swim able areas and the water is delightful. The pool is a great place to spend the afternoon, often you feel it’s your private pool. Sometimes you are sharing it with maybe 1 or 2 people. Thank you for the recharge!
