Independent hotels in Ballena, Puntarenas Province

"This was the BEST property we’ve ever stayed at!! Very secluded and private. Views are amazing and the food is incredible!! Rooms are beautiful and very well furnished. So many activities to do!! The staff treated us like we were the only people there."

"This was my absolute favorite place my kids and I visited in 12 days in Costa Rica total. The staff and grounds were phenomenal. We want to go back- not just to Costa Rica, but also specifically to this property that just… felt like home to the hearts."

"We stayed for 8 nights in the Caracara house. It had everything we needed and had a great stay! Alberto and all the staff were helpful, friendly and amazing. The views were breath taking. We stayed in June 2025, during the rainy season and were so thankful we rented a 4wheel drive vehicle. We explored a lot and had a blast! "

"All of the staff there were the sweetest. The food and views were amazing. They took care of everything I needed while on the property. I would definitely visit again! "

"Amazing house, view and location. Highly recommend."

"Good location. Nice property. Good communication. Rooms are clean. "

"The 24/7 front counter is a great feature, the pool is nice, the suite upstairs had all we needed in the kitchen, and hot water with good pressure in the shower. The fridge came in handy for leftovers from our favorite restaurant just a few minutes up the street. We met friendly travelers and had a fantastic visit."

"We had such a nice stay and felt like royalty. The house and grounds are beautiful. Thanks for letting us stay at this amazing property."

"I'm so happy that we found this place. This will be a spot we always return to for our family visits to Costa Rica. It's perfectly located near some of the BEST BEACHES and SURF spots in the world! We had SO much fun. How many places have their very own Private Waterfall, fresh Fruit Trees, sky view swimming pool, and top notch security. I wish we could've stayed longer.Ben is an absolutely amazing host. He was always friendly, accommodating and quick to respond to our needs. We couldn't have asked for a better host.We'll be back soon!!! "
