We are the only bungalows directly on the beach in the Manuel Antonio area. We are next to Isla Damas, famous for its mangroves + wildlife, birds, gators , monkeys, fish, sloths, butterflies and THE ONLY baby turtle release. Read host profile. Manuel Antonio Park is great for rainbow fish snorkeling + wildlife tours + its dual beach island spit shape. At night you can see bioluminescence from our private beach. We have private swimming pools with sea/sunset views + starry nights. We designed the cabins for beach views + they are aerodynamic with a sunken bathroom so you get the fresh sea breeze/ sounds of waves. Each has its own kitchenette balcony and toilet/ shower. It’s called “Coconut Place”. There are water activities eg catamaran waterslides for dolphin/whale viewing, hover boarding, jet skiing, parasailing, fishing, sauna/spa, surfing so see UNIQUE services. The cabin interior eg kitchenette is basic. Some main restaurants offer room service. This is a budget (not resort) hotel. Our rustic cute cabins are right on the beach in an authentic village. It is for you if you like endless beaches and an escape from the tourist crowd. The place is perfect for yoga, tree hugging, bohemian types :) This is a fishermen’s village + they are kind. There is some poverty/ recycling some guests are not used to. Please be mindful these are the homes of locals. This little piece of paradise is not for you if occasional dog barks and roosters crowing bother you. We are in front of the pale blue church (Iglesia de Dios) on the one and only road on the beach…on Cocal / @turtle beach. Big red curtains, black wall, two small swimming pools. We do require identification verification upon physical self check in within reception hours, please send. You can go via ferry/ boat open 24/7 runs each 30 seconds only 50 cents takes a minute, or by road, either is a few minutes, park in road or via private, secured (boat) parking. All conveniences are near + we are close to the main town.

I adore the view of the sea. I am proud of the local night mangrove tour as most animals are nocturnal so you can see more of them. I love massages, the local waterslides and the feeling of flying while zip lining over rainforest. I love Costa Rican chili/ passion fruit chocolate + strong coffee, tres leche condensed milk cake and garlic butter lobster or Caribbean rice and beans coconut seafood. I spend hours looking at shades of the sea which I find relaxing. I also like horseback riding + traveling to nearby countries. There is the popular Cuban Republik disco (most popular) nearby + a casino for those who like parties accesible 24/7. If you are insect, animal/ dog, farm, nature, sand, or ethnicity phobic this is definitely not the place for you, but if you embrace alternative cultures/ nature/ conservation, permaculture, it is. We offer many tours at a half or third of the price of most eg surf/ alligator/ baby turtle release/ horseback/ fishing/ medicinal herbs/ chocolate tours/ farmers markets/ dolphin/ some are free + many of these can only be found UNIQUELY near or @ our hotel eg butterfly sanctuary. Rain Maker Costa Rica is sure to please you with its incredible cascading waterfalls. Our pools are baby pools (of the bungalows only) are meant for cooling off + is made so that you can do yoga/ stretch exercises + enjoy the sea view. The sea bay is called Bahia Ceiba after its trees here that grow up to 270 feet high with bases of up to 17 feet that produce pods with a cotton type material. When you book you are supporting our community:) Before you arrive we supply you with links to restaurants, convenience stores, tours etc so all your needs are met via WhatsApp chat. We have a soft beach beginner board + it is a surf beach. Our direct beach has saved 100000 lora turtles which are critical to our sustainability. The Nicaraguan restaurants (exclusively) here are very cost effective so you can afford to eat out often:)

There are hot springs nearby as well as waterfalls, rappelling, zip-lining, white river water rafting, bird watching, surfing, butterfly, chocolate medicinal herb tours, a farmers market with exotic fruit like starfish fruit/mangosteen, tapestry markets with local or Mexican design. Salsas dancing or cooking classes. ATV driving, night animal tours. There are great clubs for dancing and bars everywhere and mini markets. The high end hotels are the highest rated in the world and it’s worth it to try their cuisine and drinks. Costa Rica has pretty beaches of multiple colors, some are yellow, some pink, some black and some white. The sea colors change due to coral from various greens to blues. The worlds longest waterslide and zipline is here. There is a local waterslide park too. You can get massages/ do yoga/ meditate or visit a shaman. People here are known to live to 120 years old. A lot of indigenous people live here and they have a rich entertaining history if you care to look it up. It is a melting pot of Nicaraguan/Panamanian/Cuban and Costa Rican (seafood) cuisine meant for an immersive experience into Costa Rican culture. We also recommend all rainforests and National Parks/ beaches and viewing treehouses in Costa Rica. Canopy/white river rafting are our favorites and glass bottomed or kayak boat tours in Damas. Just over the border are Bocas del Toro islands if you have time or Omotepe Island. Local “Fraiche” perfume and coffee are great gift ideas. We suggest you go through Damas Island with your picnic basket for a picnic up to turtle sanctuary, to see nature there ( or rescue babies/ by appointment). Please see our profile link here. You can also only see alligators here and this is possibly the best surf beach in area.
