"Ginger & Cacao” is perfectly located at just short walk to Punta Uva Beach, one of the most striking in Costa Rica. A rare place still kept as natural as possible, with a minimum negative impact of over-development. Here is where the jungle meets the white sand beach with its emeralds waters and the almond trees to provide a natural shade. It’s not crowded and is safe for swimming, kayaking and snorkeling.
In Punta Uva one feels the complete connection with nature. There is nothing more beautiful than to get on a bicycle and go for an early morning ride to Gandoca- Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge. At this time of the day, there is so much life and activity in the jungle. Howling monkeys call from the tree tops, butterflies and birds fly around searching for food.
Punta Uva is a very private area, removed from the traffic and congestion in areas closer to Puerto Viejo. There are a few excellent restaurants, and grocery stores. Within only a 10 min drive, if you choose, you can quickly get to Puerto Viejo.
At night, the action happens in Puerto Viejo. It might look a bit shabby, but give it some time and it will grow on you. At night, the somewhat sleepy village turns vibrant, full of life and music, with the smell of food coming from all directions. Ocean-front bars blast reggae and calypso. Shops stay open till late hours.
The White Cottage, individually and as part of the “Ginger & Cacao” property, offers an elegant and safe place to stay in the jungle, and more importantly, it invites you for memorable experience of theCaribbean Costa Rica.
Hope to see you soon!
Best,
Zvezda
