Cantón Parrita accommodation from NZ$214

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home in Palo Seco! If you’re wanting to experience authentic Costa Rica, this is the perfect destination. The house was beautiful and well equipped and we absolutely LOVED our on-site host, Lucy. She lives on the property and takes excellent care of guests. She cooked dinner for us two of the mornings we were there and it was so good! Our teenage girls kept saying how much they missed Lucy’s breakfast throughout the rest of our trip! The highlight of the stay was the beautiful beach steps from the house. The girls loved it and it was so nice to watch the sun rise and set right on the water. It was incredibly private too. Truly your own little slice of paradise. I would highly recommend staying here!

The hotel is locsated in a small peninsula called Palo Seco, 15' away from the town of Parrita. It is a resort with different individual cabins in the middle of a jungle and next to the sea. Our first night there there was a power outtage in the whole 'island' and there was no light or water in our cabin. The next day, when we came back from visiting Manuel Antonio, power was back but went again in the evening. We brought our own dinner at the restaurant that had a generator and by the time we were finished it came back. The rest of the days there were no other power outtages. Other than that, it is a lovely place. We saw monkeys and scarlet macaws in the surrondings. Our room was spacious. It had a/c and a fan. The mattresses were comfortable. It had a TV (just streaming though) and a a small fridge. The bathroom was modern and clean and had toiletries. The property had a large pool, shaped like a turtle, where we swam everyday of our stay. Breakfast consisted of bread, coffee, juices and eggs that they would cook for us (fried or scrambled). Because of the outtage, they even added a few slices of bacon to our breakfast. There are a few dogs running around the property which our 6 year old loved playing with, but the star is, no doubt, Pepa the raccoon. Our kid would ask everyday for it. One of our favourite hotels in our Tico trip.

Great location and a very clean room. The staff, from check-in to check-out, were extremely courteous and helpful. Umbrellas were thoughtfully provided in convenient locations throughout the property, which was especially helpful during the sudden downpours we experienced on a couple of days. The buffet breakfast was excellent. The rooms were conveniently located, making it easy to get around either by walking or using the golf carts, which was a nice touch. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.
