Tobias was very communicative and accommodating, especially since our plans kept changing! We appreciated how flexible he was. We only had a quick stay as we had many activities scheduled, but on our second morning we were able to grab a quick bite with Tobias and a lovely German couple who were also staying there. He was insistent that we have something good to eat before we took off that morning, and sent us with yummy sandwiches that we were grateful for later in the day! If we had more time, it seems that the deck and patio would be lovely to sit on for a while, but we had to run. It is worth noting that there is a 11 KM dirt road to Tobias' house, and a steep dirt/rocky driveway down to his house. We had rented a very small Suzuki, and while we were able to make it to and from his house, it took a while (you have to go slowly because of the dirt road, pits and rocks). The German couple had a larger sedan but also had issues. In the end, we would have rented a 4x4 to handle the dirt roads. The room was sparse but spacious; it sort of feels like Costa Rican summer camp. There is no wifi - which is mentioned in the listing, but since we all assume wifi is everywhere, it's worth pointing out. Overall for the price it was a clean place to sleep, Tobias is a lovely host, and it was fun to be in the "real" Costa Rica for a bit. We also go to see a Toucan the last morning, thanks to Tobias' sharp ear and quick action to point it out!

We spent a very good night here, with the sweet sound of the forest animals. The room is very spacious, just the exceptional terrace, the fantastic garden and the breakfast bar very very good (fresh passion fruit juice for the first time in my life, c was top right).

Costa Rica is an amazing country, and staying with Tobias and Yanin was absolutely wonderful. They are among the nicest people we've ever met and their knowledge of Costa Rica added much to our experience. The house Tobias built himself is absolutely beautiful. A spacious two story home made from rare tropical hardwood and all custom wood furnitures, a wonderful garden, all tucked away in a hidden valley by the river. We could spend days without leaving this house. The location is 15-20min on a dirt road away from the very touristy Quepos. You will most likely need a car/ATV/motorcycle to get here. We loved it because it allows us to blend in with the locals while staying close to all the attractions, but for some the location may be inconvenient. Bottom line: if you want to experience Costa Rica as a Costa Rican would, stay here and go to all the hidden gems like los compesinos, villa vanilla, nauyaca waterfalls, etc.

Excelente comunicación en todo momento

Tobias et Yanin étaient des hôtes merveilleux .. Ils étaient très accueillants et me traitaient comme je fais partie de leur maison. Tobias a fait une belle petit déjeuner chaque matin, et était très accommodant avec les directions pour se rendre à leur domicile, ainsi que la façon d'obtenir des lieux pendant la journée. J'ai vraiment apprécié mon séjour et recommande vivement à tout le monde!

My girlfriend and I stayed here for two nights in March and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Tobias is a wonderful host, and him and his family made us feel at home with their warm welcome and delicious breakfasts. The place itself is a perfect getaway in a rustic village in the jungle. It's a bit of a drive up a dirt road from the highway, but definitely worth the journey if you want to experience some peace and quiet away from the tourist traps of the coast.

Diese Eigenschaft ist fantastisch. Schließen Sie genug an der Stadt noch sehr weit entfernt. Auf jeden Fall ein Ort, um sich zu entspannen und lassen Sie die Welt an Ihnen vorbeizieht. Tobias und Yanin sind liebenswürdige Gastgeber eifrig zu gefallen! Ich würde wieder hier in der Zukunft glücklich bleiben!

Nuestra estancia con Tobias y su familia era realmente excepcional. El segundo que poner un pie en su casa, que se convirtió en parte de la familia, y no puedo imaginar una mejor manera de sumergirse en la verdadera Costa Rica que se alojen aquí. Nos trataron con tanta calidez, de inmediato se enamoró de Tobias 'y la hija de Yanin de 6 años y toda la casa y el entorno. Ni que decir tiene, el lugar estaba limpio, ordenado y equipado con una buena ducha caliente. Pero lo que es más importante es las grandes conversaciones con Tobias (quien hace el mejor desayuno y nos ha estropeado por completo con la cena hecha en casa una noche) y la sensación general de estar en casa. El pueblo se siente a mundos de distancia de la concurrida zona alrededor de Manuel Antonio, pero proporciona una base ideal para explorar esos, también. Hemos estado viajando más a través de Costa Rica ya que nuestra estancia en la casa de Tobías, y parece que cada lugar que vamos especie de tiene que competir con este lugar. Gracias tanto Tobias y Yanin, no podemos dejar de hablar de nuestra estancia y se acordará de ustedes por un largo tiempo!

Vi blev mycket väl mottagna av Rudolph och hans hustru. De erbjöd oss en fruktsaft när vi kom vi tog med dem på terrassen. Huset är omgivet av natur och på en vacker plats. Huset är utmärkt, mycket ren och väl inredda. Rudolph och hans fru var mycket uppmärksam på oss. Tack för din gästvänlighet

The Perfect place to relax, the best accommodation of our trip, everything to cook, located in the jungle Rudolf and his wife are really kind and peacefull We booked two nights and finally we have booked an other one!

Fue una experiencia formidable despertar entre una vegetación increíble, una casa por la que fluye el aire y bañarse con la selva como fondo. La casa es increíble y los espacios muy amplios. Fue divertido darle de comer a las gallinas por la mañana y convivir con los amables anfitriones. Hay una tienda cercana en la que depuren comprar cosas para preparar la comida, la casa cuenta con todos los utensilios necesarios y en buen estado. La otra parte positiva de la casa es la cercanía con otros lugares turísticos a los cuales se llega en distancia de lejos de una hora en carro, como Manuel Antonio y Bahía Ballenas. El nombre de pequeño paraíso hace honor total a este hermoso lugar.

Little Paradise è davvero un piccolo paradiso, una casa molto bella, arredata in modo eccellente e con tutte le comodità in mezzo ad un enorme giardino, ideale per chi vuole tranquillità e scappare dal rumore delle città. La cucina è veramente ben accessoriata, a noi (3 adulti e un bimbo di 4 anni) è risultato molto comodo prepararci la cena senza dover uscire, dopo tutta una giornata fuori. Rudolf e la moglie sono host presenti ma discreti, quasi non ci si accorgeva della loro presenza, siamo stati veramente bene! Quasi indispensabile l'auto, possibilmente un fuoristrada perché la strada da Quepos alla casa non è asfaltata.

La maison est une véritable expérience! Située à l écart de la ville en pleine jungle (15-20min de manuel antonio) au plus près des animaux avec quelques insectes certes, mais très peu et on s y sent bien! Ce fut un plaisir d'échanger avec Rudolph et mary (qui est costaricaine), ils sont charmants et disponibles pour répondre à toutes les questions que vous vous posez sur le pays! N hésitez pas si vous faites un détour vers quepos!

Rudolf non ha promesso troppo. E 'davvero un piccolo paradiso. La bella, open house è situato in campagna e ha un fascino speciale. Inoltre, Rudolf e sua moglie molto gentile ospite che ci hanno aiutato in ogni momento. La colazione la mattina successiva era anche molto gustoso e non abbiamo bisogno di parlare del prezzo. Prezzo imbattibile! Non esiteremmo a tornare se ci sono nella zona. Solo l'esistente Airbnb carta non è abbastanza preciso e potrebbe causare problemi durante la guida. Tuttavia, Rudolf ha descritto prima di viaggiare esattamente il percorso, quindi non abbiamo ancora utilizzato la carta.

We loved staying with Rudolf and Mary! They were so kind and offered us amazing hospitality along with a comforting space to come home to after our days adventure. We also loved their property and the people in the surrounding area. It was such a treat to be able to eat fresh fruit from their finca. There is a lot of great places to explore in the area and we found the local people to be helpful and kind. There is a beautiful river just down the road where a bus passes frequently for easy travel. We would definitely go back to see more in the area and highly recommend!

Der Ort ist sehr gut gepflegt. Mary und Rudolph sind sehr charmant und sie gingen eine extra Meile, uns zu helfen, ihren Platz finden und mit ihrer Aufmerksamkeit. Ich hatte eine sehr positive Erfahrung in ihrem Haus. Die einzige Sache, und ist wegen meiner Gewohnheiten, ich wünschte, das Haus hatte AC oder die Vermietung von Plätzen. Abgesehen davon, dass, wenn Sie Mutter Natur lieben, werden Sie dies ein schöner Ort, aus dem normalen lauten Städten.

Une belle maison avec un endroit idéal pour aller à pied car il passe de côté d'une rivière et a eu la joie de voir toucans et d'autres oiseaux, ainsi que profiter d'un bon terrain de conversation. La nourriture était délicieuse, chambre privée assez spacieuse avec un très grand lit et salle de bain privée Tout était parfait

Tobias und Yanins Unterkunft liegt wunderschön am Fluss und der Garten ist voller Pflanzen und Obstbäume. Wir fühlten uns gut aufgehoben und Tobias bot sehr gutes Frühstück jeden Morgen. Wir haben auch dazu beitragen, eine Reihe von Aktivitäten auf dem Gebiet der Buchung, blah auf dem Pferderücken und Rafting. Diese Aktivitäten, empfehlen wir dringend. Wir schätzten, auch mit einer Familie Erfahrung des Lebens und immer näher zu haben, wie es ist, in dem Land zu leben. Wir können sehr empfehlen bei Tobias und Yanin bleiben, einen rundum gelungenen Aufenthalt!

This place was literally a hidden gem! Tobias, Yanin and the girls made me feel welcomed to their home and honestly had the best sleep of my trip here. The room and even the bed was very spacious and I loved that there was AC and a fridge to use. The place is secluded from the touristy areas which was nice, and happily spent a rainy afternoon on the large balcony enjoying the little "forest" (garden) that they had of their own (you can see toucans, parrots etc). To top it off, I spent time with an absolutely lovely family and got to know their story...inspiring! Thanks for the wonderful stay =)

The welcome was perfect, Tobias is very nice and available, breakfast is perfect the room is spacious and the terrace, however, we expected to find a home in better condition following the comments we had read. In reality, everything seems old and too out of the points of interest and amenities, we left one night before the end of our stay for convenient accommodation ...

This place is an actual hidden gem. Tobias and his girls were an absolute pleasure and incredible to relax and talk to. If you want to see what Costa Rica is all about then stay here. I was only able to be here for one night and it was just what I needed. The room is very large and the breakfast is great! The one restaurant in town is really good as well. Thanks again for your hospitality!

Tobias et sa famille sont tout simplement merveilleux! Nous avons prévu une nuit là-bas ... puis rester pour une autre ... et un troisième! Il se sent comme à la maison. Je voyageais seul avec mes 3 1/2 ans fille et choisir cet endroit parce que Tobias a des enfants ... La petite Ella - 6 ans - est si belle! Quand je demande à ma petite fille ce qui était la meilleure partie de son voyage au Costa Rica, elle répond: "jouer avec Ella" ;-) Pour moi, j'avais de belles discussions avec Tobias, un ancien marin suédois qui a parcouru le monde. Il était très serviable et plein de conseils. Son petit déjeuner est gigantesque et il m'a laissé utiliser la cuisine pour cuisiner pour ma petite fille à l'heure du dîner. La maison est dans un petit village, à l'extérieur de Quepos. Il est dans la forêt, loin de l'action (dans le bon sens). Vous pouvez aller en bus, mais il est plus facile si vous avez un 4x4. Si vous êtes à la recherche d'une action de la vie nocturne, il est pas le bon endroit ... Mais pour une famille, il est très agréable; vous vous sentez partie de la famille Tobias. Les deux chambres sont grandes et propres, avec un balcon privé gigantesque. Toute la maison est faite de bois local agréable avec un plancher de teck incroyable. Tobias construire la majeure partie de la maison par lui-même! Je garderais ce lieu secret (!), Mais je l'espère d'autres parents avec enfants apprécieront. Si vous aimez de vraies personnes et ne sont pas dans les grands hôtels et centres de villégiature ...

Tobías y Yanin muy amables, aunque solo nos quedamos una noche, la atención fue inmejorable, la habitación cumple con lo prometido, espaciosa, limpia y con aire acondicionado. Recomiendo ampliamente !

Tobias m'a aidé avec tout ce qu'il fallait et nous avons eu un grand temps à bavarder le soir .. Si vous voulez un endroit éloigné pour se détendre et profiter de la nature dans cette région, qui est probablement votre meilleur choix!

Elena was extremely friendly and helpful with emails before we even arrived, with good instructions to get to her place. The apartment is part of the community house where Elena and other guests gather in the sitting area to socialise. We enjoyed strolls through the grounds listening for birds and dipping in the creek. Elena gave us a good tour, explaining all the trees and bamboos on the plot. Vanilla, coffee, cinnamon and allspice etc. There are are some nice local walks and a 30 minute drive or bus ride into Quepos or Manuel Antonio. We chose to stay here because it was a bit different from other apartments we had stayed in. It is important for guests to realise this is a typical Tico-style farm building, surrounded by forest, and this is all part of the experience.

Elena is a wonderful host. She sincerely cares for her guests' comforts, and positive experiences. She goes above and beyond in including you if travelling by bus into town, she is a resource for a wealth of information, just Ask Elena! I have had a wonderful experience and am forever grateful!

We had the wonderful privilege of staying at the Jungle Retreat for a week. The home is beautiful and located on top of a mountain in the jungle. The hosts were in communication and very helpful at every step of the planning of our adventure. If you are looking for a retreat in a beautiful place this is a rare gem. We rented a 4x4 which you definitely need to get to the house and be prepared for a 25 minute drive up a rough road and a steep driveway. Once at the home your veiws are breathtaking and a real slice of Costa Rican paradise. Carissa and her mom Karrie are so nice and will take good care of you and provide all the help they can. Pure Vita

Notre groupe a eu un séjour incroyable! La maison a une vue imprenable sur la jungle et vous pouvez voir l'océan au loin. Il est isolé, mais vous pouvez être à la plage en 30 min. Recommande fortement.

The host canceled this reservation 10 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

place de Jose est magnifique! Les images ne sont pas vraiment faire justice. La piscine offre une vue sur une vaste étendue de jungle - fait sentir comme si vous êtes loin de tout. Et José était un hôte très gracieuse. Il nous a aidés à réserver des visites et a réussi à trouver le meilleur guide touristique dans tout le Costa Rica pour nous accompagner par Manuel Antonio. Nancy était génial! Merci Jose pour aider à rendre notre séjour formidable.

Amazing place nestled up in the mountains...20 mins from quepos...perfect for reunions and families get togethers. Wendy is super prompt in responding to queries and once you get her...jose takes care of you. Highly recommend this place. They have Nother big house on same property for a bigger group and an awsome pool.

This place is a jewel in the tropical mountains. It is so worth the kind of challenging drive. The communication with the owner and with her care takers is great. They will make sure your stay is pleasurable. It is a good place to disconnect kids from the internet for a while. We used it for a family trip but I see it has an even bigger potential for a great romantic getaway. No intention of discouraging anybody and I know it depends on driving skills but I wouldn't drive a sedan or a coupe all the way there. I would say use something with at least some clearance like an small crossover or SUV, specially during the rainy season. There are attractions nearby but even if you just stay there the place itself is so enjoyable that just relaxing there day and night is a wonderful experience.

Candyce's home is truly beautiful. The listing is accurate to the photos, except that the photos do not do the landscape justice. We did not make the hike to the hot springs or waterfalls as we had a toddler with us. We played soccer in the flat terrain next to the driveway, and lounged in the hammocks overlooking the home. We did not miss the WiFi especially given how great the TV channels were. We destressed all day drinking coffee, watching TV during the hottest/wettest parts of the day, exploring the grounds during the cool mornings, and loving on Bambu (the cat) who is the sweetest (my 2.5 yr old is usually afraid of animals but he kept wanting to pet Bambu). Marta and Marciel were very nice and helpful, but also kept their distance even while maintaining the property so that we felt we had complete privacy. When my husband mentioned that he loved Pipas (a type of coconut), Marciel brought us a whole bag full, and some "mountain apples" to try. Also, it stands to mention, that their kitchen is stocked with everything you could need as a chef. Their knives are better than my knives at home, and their pots and pans were durable and easy to clean which made my trip easier (so that I didn't have to spend hours scrubbing pans). Because we stayed here towards the end of our trip, we had basically run out of clean clothes. Their washer/dryer allowed me to get our clothes cleaned and put away for our plane back home. The bedroom was genuinely O-M-G amazing. You do not see rooms this gorgeous just anywhere. And the bed, while slightly softer than we typically like, was big enough for 2 adults and a 2 year old, and cool enough with the fan on during the night. We really enjoyed our stay at this listing and hope to be back in our future trips to Costa Rica. Thanks, Candyce! P.S. We saw tons of hummingbirds, toucans, and little yellow/green birds.

Wow...... All I can say is wow. Easy the most beautiful views my eyes have ever seen!!! The listing doesn't even do this place justice. When I come back there is no way I would stay anywhere else! Thank you for sharing you lovely place.

Amazing house (and guesthouse) and place! Especially the master bedroom was amazing! We did a night hike over the property and spotted different kind of insects, snakes and frogs. During the day we same many hummingbirds and different kind of birds. Beautiful place!!

Muy bien

Wir hatten einen wundervollen & einzigartigen Aufenthalt im Junglehouse von Candyce. Diese Unterkunft ist etwas ganz besonderes und wir haben uns entschlossen gar nicht erst nach Quepos bzw. Manuel Antonio zu fahren, sondern einfach nur die faszinierende Natur um das Haus herum zu erkunden. Wir können es nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen (wenn man einen 4x4 fährt, denn bei der Anfahrt benötigt man diesen auf jeden Fall).

DAS GUTE * Der Garten ist wirklich atemberaubend und friedlich - ein wahrhaft kunstvollen und schönen Ort für einen Tag oder eine Stunde zu genießen. * Das Haus ist geschmackvoll und ansprechend, und schaut persönlich besser als in der Liste. * Der gesamte Platz ist makellos sauber. * Bambus ist die Katze ein Gejohle und voller Persönlichkeit. * Martha war freundlich und hilfsbereit persönlich und Candyce reagierte in der Kommunikation. * Die Betten sind bequem, vor allem im Schlafzimmer, wo die Aussicht so angenehm und heiter ist. DAS KÖNNTE-BE-BETTER * Die Fahrt zum Haus umfasst gut 30 Minuten lang auf holprigen, steinigen Schotterstraßen und erfordert, dass Sie durch zwei Ströme zu fahren (sehr entfernten Ort zu machen, wenn Sie ankommen). * Die Dusche ist sehr schwierig zu bedienen und nie erreicht einfach eine warme Strömung - immer entweder heiß oder kalt. * Da sie keine Wi-Fi in einem so abgelegenen Ort war machbar, aber das Hinzufügen es wäre der Ort, komfortabler und bequemer zu machen - so dass die Gäste leichter zu kommenden Veranstaltungen planen, Veranstaltung reservieren, und Check-in für Airline-Flüge, zum Beispiel. * Der Ort wäre bequemer, wenn die Geschwindigkeit der Lüfter auf eine höhere Geschwindigkeit angepasst werden kann, oder vor allem, wenn es a / c waren. Alles in allem fanden bleiben wir hier und es für diejenigen, würde die nicht in bereits fahrintensive Costa Rica zu tun, etwas mehr Fahr kümmern. Genießen!

We had a wonderful time at this place. Although we were a little worried about the bumpy road and a distance from Quepos and Manuel Antonio, we end up just staying most of the time at the property and that was great. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful.

Gran estancia con Gerardo, la casa es nuevo y bien equipado, muy limpio. Yo recomiendo.

Gerardo Casa Marcos ist sehr schön und praktisch neu !. Obwohl eine kleine Strecke entfernt Quepos / Manuel Antonio bilden, ist es in einer ruhigen barrio und 15 Minuten entfernt von Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Führungen und geat Restaurants. Wir werden wieder kommen.

Gran casa, grandes propietarios. Si quiere visitar Manuel Antonio, sino también disfrutar de la soledad de una propiedad privada esta es la casa para elegir. propiedad residencial con todas las comodidades para una estancia confortable. bus local que recoge en frente de la casa y le lleva directamente al centro de Quepos o Manuel Antonio en menos de media hora donde se puede disfrutar del parque nacional y una serie de las mejores playas de Costa Rica. Muy recomendable

We have been very pleased with the cleanliness and general condition of the house. The treatment of hosts great hospitality and cordiality. And very aware that everything was fine

20 minutes from Manuel Antonio and 20 minutes from Playa Dominical make it an ideal home to meet different beaches in the area.

This house was amazing! The pictures don't give it justice! It is beautiful and immaculately clean. The master bathroom is amazing, and the small pool in the garden is an added bonus. It is very secure and has room for parking several cars behind the locked gate. Everything you could need in the house is there, including a washing machine. Air conditioning in the bedrooms was definitely appreciated. Gerardo and his wife were awesome, very helpful, and friendly. They also speak English perfectly, which is very helpful if you don't speak Spanish well. The home is about a minute from the Quepos airport and about a 15 minute drive from the Manuel Antonio park entrance, so very convenient. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend this vacation home to anyone visiting the area. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely check here for availability first!

A one kilometer from Quepos airport; near supermarkets, pharmacies, ATM, etc. The house is equipped with everything a family needs; coupled with a coordial treatment from Alex, Gerardo and his wife.

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Geri's house lies off the beaten track & was just what we looked for.Jungle covered mountains in the background& a most refreshing creek running through the beautiful property. The caretakers Adrian&Juliana made the stay a special one:welcoming coconut drink,night tour on the property discovering Costa Rican wildlife & fishing forTilapia. We loved the atmosphere,the people& the time we spend there tremendously!!

Geri's place in Tropical River Paradise is exactly as described! If you are looking for an authentic local experience, this is the perfect place for you! The property is huge with a river right outside your door that you can swim in. It's about 20 minutes from the main city of Quepos, which was nice to be outside the hustle and bustle of a city. The caretakers of the property (Adrian and Juliana) were excellent hosts. They were super accommodating, helpful, and attentive. We wanted to explore Manuel Antonio Park and they were gracious enough to introduce us to their good friend, who is also a registered guide at the park. They also provided us with great recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and things to do in the area. Adrian led us on a tour of the property and shared his knowledge of local flora and fauna. Ask him to give you a night tour as well to see the animal nightlife! Adrian and Juliana definitely made us feel like a part of their family. Our side of the duplex was very spacious. The bathroom is clean and well kept. Our room was very comfortable as well! When you have the window shutters closed, absolutely no light comes in which was perfect for sleeping in! Set an alarm if you need to wake up at a particular time. :) We were able to met Geri since she happened to be staying at the property when we visited. We enjoyed speaking with her about her experiences in Costa Rica and back home in Canada. Overall, an amazing experience for us! It was exactly what we were looking for as far as having a unique local cultural experience. We plan to come back to visit!

Tropical River Paradise describes the property perfectly. I discovered this first-class gem by looking for a place with a/c that was in the campo to be closer to nature. Quepos seems a million miles away, but you can drive there in only 15 minutes! The rustic duplex cabin is spacious with modern furnishings, kitchen, a/c, nice bathroom, good hot water, gas grill, and a great covered porch rings the building. A beautiful, clean mountain stream flows right by the dwelling. When I first sat under the trees by the river, I was lost in time with my thoughts and serene feelings. Later visits down the short trail included sitting in the shallows enjoying the perfect water temperature and photographing the stream, butterflies, hummingbirds and waterfalls to capture some fraction of the beauty to remember later. Tropical vegetation arrangements merge with the natural growth, creating a lovely landscape. Natural rocks line trails and highlight the gorgeous plants. The trails and walking space along the river next to the cabin were so helpful in accessing the features of the property. Adrian and Juliana, the caretakers, make you feel like family, while managing the property to a high professional standard. Both formerly worked for years at one of the fine hotels in Manuel Antonio. Great formula: If you want professional management, hire professionals. A tilapia pond near the cabin is for guest use. Adrian and Juliana provided poles and bait for guests to catch fresh tilapia. They even bait the hook! Adrian cleans the fish and is happy to cook them for guests, too. Whatever help the guest wants is happily provided. We took a fun hike on this large property to where we viewed the coastline all the way to Manuel Antonio Park. The hosts are excellent guides, and there are many interesting creatures and plants to observe. Ever seen a big bush, almost a tree, with large red flowers that “eat” insects. Venus Flytraps look pretty lame next to these big boys. The owner is continuing to develop responsibly only small parts of this large property. The rest is already returning to its natural state. Surrounding owners are also protecting much of their adjoining properties from development. This owner has permanently banned horses or cows from the land to eliminate contamination. Commercial agriculture was eliminated, too. I highly recommend this destination to all travelers, and I am already making plans to visit again. The spacious lodgings can easily accommodate groups of friends or families, since 2 separate areas are available with 2 bedrooms each. All bedrooms have queen beds that 2 could share. Or 1 side only could be rented for a perfect romantic getaway. Are you really coming to Costa Rica to stay next to a supermarket in downtown Quepos? Why not stay 15 minutes from Quepos, but feel like you are a million miles away from town and in the REAL Costa Rica with hosts that feel like your best friends?

We have only stayed for two nights. A lengthy review by another guest describes the place very well. You need a rental car to explore the area. The restaurant at the nearby ranch (2 minute drive or about 10 minute walk) is good and even less expensive than in Quepos (nearby town about 15 minutes away by car). It is open air (no walls) so you need a bug repellent or you can order to go as we did. The resident managers, Adrian and Juliana, and the security guy, Alfredo, are very friendly but do not speak English. Thanks to my modest command of Spanish we had lots of interesting conversations. Their dog Camalo looks ferocious but is very friendly after you've been introduced. Their two-month old puppy is a cutie. Their three-year old son is a cutie, too. When you need privacy you do have it as they live in another cabin on the property. The guest house has two rental units. We were their alone. There is also a washer and a dryer and Juliana offers to do laundry for you (we did not use it). There is no wi-fi but there is cable TV with some channels in English (we watched mostly BBC World). The air conditioner is only in the master bedroom. So you have to keep its door open and the ceiling fans on. It was quite adequate for us during our stay in December-January. It is a nice place for a short stay. Geri, the host, responded quickly via airbnb and gave us directions. Having GPS is very important in Costa Rica. There are very few road signs.

Wow- super happy we found this place. Traveling through Costa Rica for 2 weeks and winging the lodging on Air BnB. I thought everything I was seeing on the post was too good to be true for the price and was pleasantly surprised that this was not the case. This is an amazing little cabin tucked away in the rural outskirts of the beach towns. It is secluded, so having your own transportation is recommended. If you're looking for something within walking or reasonable biking distance, this might not be the place for you. If you're staying a few nights and want an amazing personable experience, you should stay here. Adrian and Juliana greeted us with coconuts (w/ little umbrellas) and a genuine desire to help us with anything we needed. Alberto, the security guard opens and closes the gate when you come in and out at night (you have privacy and security here). The place is perfect and fully equipped with anything you need. Only 1 bedroom has A/C, the other has a fan which is fine. Geri is great and happy to show you around the property or have Adrian give you a tour of the trails (the place is 55 acres) and a short hike will lead to beautiful views of mountains and the ocean (I saw an iguana and a monkey hiking there as well). After the hike, you can cool off in the perfect little pool in the gently flowing river. Relax in a hammock, ride mountain bikes (2 provided) and do laundry if you need to- Juliana will fold your clothes and have them waiting neatly for you. Adrian took us on a night tour in the yard and we saw frogs and plants most people pay $20 to see on a 'Jungle' tour. This place is seriously an amazing find and I can't say enough about our experience here- the place and the people. I look forwarding to coming back here on my next trip to Costa Rica!

Adrian and Juliana, who keep the house Gerri are very friendly and happy people. they made it possible that we are happy and content. bathing in the river we liked, we saw a group of monkeys by chance and unforgettable sunset from a hill near the cabin. We enjoyed the two days.

Nos encantó la vista de todos los árboles verdes y los monos justo delante de nuestra puerta! Todo estaba tranquilo y sereno. Sandra era muy bueno en el cumplimiento de todos los alojamientos y las solicitudes que necesitábamos. Ella era muy amable y atento. Su hijo también nos llevó a tomar algo en un bar de deportes en la ciudad. Otra ventaja es que está justo al lado del parque de ADR, que recomiendo si estás en la zona. ¡Nos lo pasamos muy bien! Gracias por la hospitalidad!

Out stay here was excellent. Sandra and others provided a very welcoming and family like atmosphere. We were able to see the rare squirrel monkeys from the back yard of our cabin and sample the Guavas right from the tree next to our cabin. I will surely recommend Rancho Las Tilapias. The typical dinner at the restaurant was excellent as well.

We vonden de onverharde weg moeilijk, maar de aanwijzingen waren accuraat en zodra we daar aankwamen was de hemel! We kregen heerlijke passievruchten drankjes bij aankomst en als we eenmaal afgekoeld in het zwembad voelden we ons versterkt en klaar voor een wandeling. De gronden zijn mooi en we hielden van alle vogels. De apen kwam zoals beloofd! Een geweldige ervaring als je houdt van de natuur.

Maison Tres agréable entre amis oú en famille . Tout près de la nature,un peu éloigné des commerces . Tb sejour avec un bel espace piscine et bar /restaurant. Nous avons fait une balade en quad magnifique ds la forêt , moment magique !

Brayan was very helpful with providing directions and receiving us. Sandra was out of town, so Brayan took care of EVERYTHING we needed. Asked for a massage, he had someone come out, wanted to go horseback riding to a waterfall, he took us, ATV tour, he led it. Anything we asked for, he took care of, he even set up tours, and cruises for us. By the end of our stay we really grew to think of Brayan as our new Costa Rican friend! I highly recommend staying at Rancho Las Tilapias. We loved our stay here. Rita would make us breakfast in the morning and serve it to us at the restaurant. The pool was great and refreshing. The property was quiet and beautiful, with a lot to do right on the ranch. The actual cottage that we stayed in was perfect! Nice patio area to relax on, cozy bedrooms.

Bel endroit! Dennis était génial que notre concierge parlant anglais et guide touristique. Nous vous recommandons vivement!

The ranch was so beautiful. Alex welcomed us with a delicious fruit smoothie upon arrival. The place is out of the city. The whole property was breathtaking. There is a restaurant on the premise and you can catch your own Tilapia. The restaurant can cook it for you. Alex, the property manager went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. There is horse backing riding and ATV on premises. Its super kid-friendly. We will for sure come back if we are in Quepos.

Nos alojamos en Las tilapias por tres noches. Reservé con Sandra, pero nunca la conocí. Cuando nos registramos, Alex nos recibió con un batido de sandía, jum! Él fue muy amable y el único miembro del personal que hablaba un poco Inglés. Él nos mostró nuestra cabaña con vista a los árboles donde los monos ardilla pasan cada mañana y tarde. Por la noche cenamos en el restaurante y nos dieron un enorme vaso de vino en la casa. Todo lo que era grande y con las mejores intenciones, pero aún así creo que no tienes valor para su dinero aquí. Me pareció que la cabaña era más pequeña de lo que parecía en la foto de y no estaba muy limpia. El wifi no funcionaba, las camas eran como rocas, Alex no estaba alrededor de la mayor parte del tiempo (de lo contrario, podría haberle dicho personalmente este). Nunca escribí algo negativo acerca de Airbnb-lugar antes, pero yo quiero decir esto porque usted debe saber que antes de reservar.
