Raya
Matapalo
Situated in Matapalo, 600 metres from Matapalo Beach and 37 km from Manuel Antonio National Park, Raya features spacious air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi.
Stephen
United Kingdom
Raya is a relatively new place run by its enthusiastic owners, who were very keen to try to ensure that you had a good stay. We were here for three nights and the other seven apartments were mostly occupied at the same time. The design of the building was unsual - one long single storey with dividers between each apartment which allowed for private patios for each. As well as a table and chairs, each apartment had a couple of unusual, comfortable, hanging hammock chairs, behind which was a pretty garden area. The bathroom, air conditioning and wifi all worked well and overall the bedrooms were very comfortable and quiet.
A decent breakfast was provided for you each morning, right outside your apartment which was very convenient.

Unfortunately we stayed only for one night. The Hotel is amazing. The staff let you fell very welcome. We were very lucky to have the hotel for ourselves. The breakfast we had there was by far the best I had on any vacation. The waiter (Geovanny) was amazing. An experience I won’t forget.

Beautiful place, friendly people, relaxed atmosphere.
Beautiful place, friendly people, relaxed atmosphere. The epitome of Pura Vida. There are three licensed restaurants worth visiting, Akachete, La Esquinita and Supper Club. All are open for dinner, La Esquinita also breakfast and lunch and Akachete for lunch. There is Matapalo main centre with police, church, school and shops, also more eateries for lunches and snacks. And Playa Matapalo 15 minutes down the road, with one hotel (Coco Beach) and many B&B's, Airbnb and lodges close to the highly rated beach. Matapalo beach apartments (Jungle House) has a pool as well. Walks along the beach can go on the ever and the sunsets are magnificent. You can walk to Dominical along the beach, there are 4 rivers to cross which is very easy at low tide and it takes about 3 or 4 hours. The flora and fauna views are incredible and it's best in the early morning. You can catch the bus or take a taxi back to Matapalo. Also, take a walk to the small waterfall in the hills, it's about 30 minutes from La Esquinita restaurant. And horse riding on the beach in the afternoon.merrifield PWCanada - 10Scored 10
Great location for exploring the area from Manuel Antonio...
Great location for exploring the area from Manuel Antonio down to Uvita and up into the mountains. There were a number of small restaurants to eat at even though we only ate at one. The beach was nice and quiet with lots of shade trees.NancyCanada - 10Scored 10
It’s a great place if you want a quiet peaceful experience,...
It’s a great place if you want a quiet peaceful experience, away from crowds and along with the nature. There are plenty physical activities on the beach—walking, biking, horse riding.Strong current and big waves are making it difficult and safe to swim, but you can wade in or drive to safer beaches. This beach provides you with a privacy and lots of room to explore. There is a little restaurant La Kashette a couple minutes from the beach and a small store.

Matapalo is amazing! The beaches are quiet and beautiful!
Matapalo is amazing! The beaches are quiet and beautiful! There is a lot to do around the area yet it is far away from all of the very touristy parts of Costa Rica. Matapalo is safe and you can get around just fine by foot. Sunsets on Playa Matapalo are romantic and the sand is powdery and white. A great beach to swim and surf.

This is a very quiet and small beach community.
This is a very quiet and small beach community. The beach is long and secluded with few visitors. Perfect for those who want a natural setting and privacy. There are only a couple restaurants and lodging facilities...so this is the place for those who want to be outside of the busy tourist destinations and want to enjoy the natural beauty of Costa Rica.

Matapalo is all about the beach!
Matapalo is all about the beach! The ocean was perfect with a gentle dark brown sand. The hotel is good - I liked the room, little garden and delicious food. Anja is very friendly and helpful host. Thank you so much! The only disadvantage is extremely bad WiFi in the room and no WIFi in the restaurant. There is another restaurant close by with very good WiFi and less expensive but worse food.

- From £64.33 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 16 reviewsThe ‘included breakfast’ didn’t exist. The washing machine didn’t exist. When we queried this after an hour of negotiation between the host via a third party over the phone we were offered the use of the twin tub. We chose not to as by then we were steaming and desperate to explore. There was no hot tub (we weren’t planning to use it but it was on the details). It took us an hour to find the place because although we asked several locals they had never heard if it. Turned out it was called Jungle House not Matapalo beach apartments.JulieUnited Kingdom
- From £72.02 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 254 reviewsThe location of the property is fantastic: literally two steps away from the beautiful beach of Matapalo. The pool is very nice too, and very well equipped with showers and sun beds. The staff is very nice and took good care of us. Breakfast was simple but good. We mainly had pancakes and eggs. From the hotel you can easily spot animals like monkeys, iguanas, lizards, crabs etc. Juan Carlos (the owner) takes care of the hotel religiously. Everything is very cleaned and groomed. We had a great stay!
CarolineItaly - 9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 372 reviewsMy mom and I had a wonderful stay at Jardín se los Monos. The place is beautiful, surrounded by lush greenery, monkeys, sloths, butterflies. The owners are really nice and it’s visible they have built and run the hotel with a lot of love and interest, making sure their guests fully enjoy their stay. We loved the breakfast, too. The homemade bread Lettika makes is out of this world. The internet was great, too, handling easily video calls. I highly recommend this place and will come back. Thank you!
PetraNetherlands - From £107.13 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 228 reviewsWe had a wonderful stay at Coco Beach Hotel. Ron and Tammy were great hosts. The grounds/pool area were amazing. A little oasis to relax in. We had an issue with the shower in our room so Ron and Tammy upgraded us to the 2 bedroom suite for half of our stay which we really appreciated. This is the best place we have stayed in Costa Rica and this is our 4th trip to the country. I highly recommend staying here when coming to the area.NancyCanada

And a 2 minute walk to the beach. The townspeople stopped to welcome me and express pride in their village. The breakfast was made with love a was very tasty. Their gardener/maintenance person, Teddy, was extremely kind. I will come back and recommend it to others.IraCosta Rica
