"Me gustó todo de este alojamiento, nos recibieron con una bebida refrescante ideal por el calor del lugar, las habitaciones cómodas, limpias y permiten descansar plácidamente. El desayuno con variedad y preparado al momento, muy rico, lo mismo que las otras opciones del menú. Se ubica a pocos minutos del parque nacional. Recomiendo el lugar sin duda alguna, volvería todas las veces a este alojamiento, no hablo solo por mi sino por el grupo de 6 personas que éramos."

10/10 Excellent
"The house and property are amazing. We love to stay at unique properties and this was one of the most unique properties we have ever stayed at. Everything about the property was clean, perfect, and very inviting. We especially enjoyed the peaceful sound of the river on the property, the extremely unique design of the home built in the middle of giant boulders, and the jacuzzi inside the home. If you are on the fence about booking a stay here just book it. We will definitely be back."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Matapalo?
The best area to stay in Matapalo is along the main coastal road, which offers direct access to the beach and local amenities.This stretch of Matapalo is essentially a single road running parallel to the Pacific Ocean, with most accommodations, restaurants, and shops situated either directly on the beach side or just across the road. It's a relaxed, spread-out area, known for its natural beauty and immediate proximity to the water.Couples looking for a tranquil beach escape will find this area ideal. You're never far from the sound of the waves, and many accommodations offer direct beach access, superb for sunset strolls or morning swims. The focus here is on relaxation and enjoying the natural surroundings.For families, staying along this main road offers excellent convenience. Hotels and rental homes often have gardens and pools, and the beach is easily kid-friendly.
When is the best time to go to Matapalo?
The best time to visit Matapalo is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny days and lower humidity, making it ideal for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities without interruption from rain. The ocean is typically calmer and clearer, superb for swimming, snorkelling, and diving.For those looking to spot wildlife, especially for birdwatching or observing monkeys and sloths, the dry season offers easier viewing conditions as animals are less likely to be sheltering from rain. This period is also excellent for exploring Corcovado National Park, as trails are dry and more accessible.While May to November is the rainy season, you can still have a good trip, particularly in May, June, and early July, when rain usually comes in short, heavy bursts in the afternoons, leaving mornings sunny. This "green season" brings lush landscapes and fewer crowds, and you might find better value on accommodation.
