"This was a terrific property. Luxury surf resort. Friendly helpful staff. Beautiful rooms. A very short walk across the street to the beach. Fully equipped room with Wi-Fi, kitchen, tvs, laundry room, etc. Great outdoor terrace with chairs and large dining table to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Our host Veronica helped us coordinate a very special clay/pottery making experience for our family. She also recommended a couple great local restaurants and markets. We would definitely book again if back in Pavones!"

"If you want to be right in the middle of nature and wildlife this is the place to go. Most of the resort is raised up into the treetops so you can be eye level with creatures you'd usually only see way above you from the ground. The included hikes and birdwatching were wonderful with very knowledgeable and passionate guides. We also arranged a day trip to Corcovado by boat through the lodge in advance, seems pricey at first but was well worth it. Over the course of a week we saw sloths (lodge & Corcovado), monkeys (everywhere), tapirs (Corcovado), ant eaters (lodge and Corcovado), coatis (lodge), frogs and lizards (lodge) and so many different birds (everywhere). We chose a forest bungalow room which is just screened in from the outside. I was a bit worried the lack of AC might make it too hot to sleep, but at the end of April the fans in the room were enough to keep us comfortable over night. No need for alarm clocks, the howler monkeys will get you up every day. Overall a fantastic nature focused lodge that combines the ability to relax with adventure."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Playa Zancudo?
The best area to stay in Playa Zancudo is along the main stretch of beach, which offers direct access to the ocean and the village's amenities.This narrow peninsula is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on one side and the calm waters of the Gulfo Dulce on the other. The main road, a sandy track, runs parallel to the beach, with most accommodations and eateries scattered along this path. You'll find everything within walking distance, from small shops to casual restaurants.For couples looking for a relaxed beach holiday, staying directly on the beach is ideal. You'll wake up to the sound of the waves and have immediate access to swimming, sunbathing, and long walks along the shore. Many accommodations offer private bungalows with ocean views, superb for a peaceful getaway.Solo travellers will also appreciate the convenience of staying near the main beach area. It makes it easy to meet other travellers, join in on activities like surfing or fishing, and find places to eat without needing transportation.
When is the best time to go to Playa Zancudo?
The best time to go to Playa Zancudo is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.During these months, you can expect plenty of sunshine, low humidity, and calm seas, which are ideal for enjoying the beach and water activities. The weather is consistently warm, with average temperatures in the high 20s to low 30s Celsius. This period is superb for travellers who want to maximise their time outdoors without the interruption of daily rain showers.For those who enjoy surfing or fishing, the shoulder months of May and November can also be excellent. While there might be occasional rain, the waves are generally good for surfing, and fishing can be particularly fruitful as the waters transition.
