La Cruz Playa Jobo Hotels

"Please know that the beach Nandel faces is a kite surfing training area for some of the world elites. It is windy, most of the time. This keeps it cool and nice to sit at the beach and at the pool, no bugs. Tie your hat on... it is very windy."

"It was enjoyable. We liked staying there. We just had a few issues with the electric - AC, and hot water. There wasn’t much of a nightlife. But other wise everything else was great and we had a lot of fun. "

"My husband and I stayed at Santa Elena Lodge for 3 nights while visiting Cuajiniquil for birding and natural history. We were told the lodge was constructed from reclaimed wood and built by the family who still run it today. It is quite a stunning structure. The gardens are lovely. The food was probably the best we had on a 9 day trip to some natural areas of Costa Rica - generous portions at every meal and good coffee There are many natural areas to visit to see birds and other wildlife and there is a reference guide in each room expaining in detail where to find these areas. Owners and staff were also very knowledgeable. This area and the lodge is authentic and undisturbed by the excessive tourism of some other areas. The staff at the lodge are very, very friendly, rooms very clean. I recommend this lodge and area for true nature lovers. "

"Rancho Costafalo is a unique and very special place. It is remote and is situated in an idyllic setting on a large farm with an amazing botanical garden with species of citrus, palms, and rare cacti and a large beautiful pond. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed out two-night stay at the ranch. The accommodations are somewhat rustic, but offer everything we needed, a clean bed, nice bathroom and a pleasant deck. The ranch is about a 20-minute drive from the Santa Rosa National Park, which is well worth a visit for its historic significance and nice paved trails. It is also about 10 minutes from a small town with all the amenities. If you visit, be sure to stop by the tiny De La Abuella restaurant for dinner. Allan, the owners, is nice, friendly and helpful. He was very generous with us because we had forgotten to take cash and he footed the bill for our dinner and we reimbursed him later. We have a place in Guanacaste near Playa Grande. We plan to visit the ranch again the next time we are in the area. Melvin, the attendant at the ranch was very nice, polite and helpful. "
