Totally enjoyed our 2 days at this lodge and at the beach. I believe the Caribbean side of Costa Rica is fast becoming our favourite place in the country. Check out the BLOG!

Our room was in the middle, simple accommodations but clean and great jungle music to put you to sleep as long as the human neighbours were quiet. The walls were really thin between the rooms.

Our deck

The pool, small and kinda green so we never went in. Enjoyed the beaches instead.

The owners lived on the top floor, the bottom was a common area for the guests to hang out and to eat breakfast, which was included in the price of the room.

A close up of the berries they were pigging out on, have to see if I can figure out what it is!

The howlers, despite their extremely loud calls, they’re much more laid back than the white faced monkeys

Maxi’s in Manzanillo, about as far south east as you can go in CR for a meal.

This is “Jungle Love”, a restaurant we ate dinner at both nights. Good food but not what i’d call cheap, about $20/each.
