Hotel Guide - Matapalo Beach hotels in , Costa Rica.

"Heise (sp?) and Lattika were the perfect hosts. Lattika made sure that everything we needed was taken care of . She was also very knowledgable about the various native animals who live in the neighborhood (how she could spot sloths is a mystery to me ). Breakfast was amazing ! "

"We had a wonderful time during our stay in Matapalo!Eithne was a great host and the home was just what the doctor ordered!The home was well appointed with great quality goods. The kitchen was easily the best outfitted I’ve ever rented!As mentioned earlier, the driveway gets easier with practice, no sweat with 4 wheel drive. You will need the 4x4, makes it easy peasy. The house manager will guide you there the first time I almost forgot about the pool, very nice and well maintained. My advice is to stay here for a great view of nature and get a great house as a welcome benefit!"

"My wife and I hosted a 4-night creativity, art and music, retreat at this amazing place and it worked perfectly. We were 14 people (we rented this full villa and the 'owner's villa' next to it.) The location is breathtaking. Literally steps from a beautiful beach that we more or less had to ourselves. The ocean here is perfect for swimming and splashing around. We had visits from Capuchin monkeys, a sloth, and many beautiful birds and iguanas. The rooms are amazing and all our guest were very happy with the accommodations. The upstairs master bedroom is incredible. We hired Karla to make our lunches and dinners and her cooking was delicious and varied with lots of local fruits, vegetables and flavors. We worked with her to create the menu and it exceeded expectations. The villa is close to a little store that is well stocked for most anything. We also worked with Flory to coordinated transportation and scheduling and she is a joy to work with. The owners were very responsive as well. This is a fantastic place to stay and we hope to be back!"

"We are so thankful for Wil. Wil is the property manager (I'm not sure of his actual title). How helped us get up and down the mountain each day. He brought us food the first day while we were trying to figure out the best plans of actions. YOU WILL NEED A 4X4. Even with a 4x4 I am not sure I would have been able to drive up this mountain! We would have been okay to just stay in this mountain home and watch the toucans all week!The house was what was pictured. It was beautiful. As some other reviews stated, there is some maintenance needed, but it does not detract from the natural beauty around this home. The walk to the pool is beautiful, but it is definitely a walk with a lot of stairs."

"Everything here was fabulous, as soon as we hit that road we knew our view and our privacy were going to be exactly what we wanted. Nothing was lacking. We were surprised that others made comments about the road, no cross ditches, no potholes, just one little creek and this was after heavy rains (thinking those comments came from parking lot princesses lol). Oh...the view from the pool is spectacular "

"This house is spectacular. I cannot say enough good things about it. Everything was perfect. The service is the cleanliness and the privacy is spectacular.If you’re looking to enjoy some peaceful time with your family while you’re close to the beach and have a private pool, this house is for you. I cannot believe the quality inside from the details of the pantry and available items that you can use you do not have to bring anything but your clothesThis house is definitely on our list to come back to next yearThanks again for all the service attention and for checking up on us I cannot thank you guys enough for making this experience beautiful"
