Location is perfect. We came for 4 nights and stayed for all 18 nights. At first, because of protests and road closers (our initial plan was to travel west), and later we've fall in love with the place. It is quiet and welcoming: only 2 rooms and tent for rent. Most of the days we were the only guests there. Very few steps from the beach, and a light walk of 1 km to Panamericana highway where you can catch "chivas" going west or east. San Carlos is in walking distance too by the road or by the shore (when the low tide is) with its minimarket and small shops. The hosts Eduardo and Jenny are very nice, they made us feel like at home, being helpful with advice or a small car lift. Breakfast is rich enough to snack on it in late afternoon. The fridge in the room and small kitchenet were very convinient, when we opted for light and homemade meal.

This sweet little cabin is located in a wonderful, natural area near La Laguna (lake) and Cerro Picacho (mountain). The setting and grounds are beautiful and the lake is within walking distance. The trailhead to a Cerro Picacho hike is on the way to the lake. There is warm water in the shower in the stunning bathroom and a kitchen with all of the equipment you need to cook your meals (there are no restaurants in the area). Bring your hiking shoes and portable chairs so you can enjoy the outside space! Check-in was super easy and the place was spotless!

    Beautiful garden, beautiful cabañas, we had a separate kitchen that was AMAZING, everything you need was there. The wifi was superfast aswell. Kind welcome gift & card. All made with love & care. The location is very remote, perfect for some time off. The beach is very beautiful and only a short walk away. Sometimes you can swim, sometimes it’s dangerous. Host was responsive but we didn’t meet them personally.
