    Camila and Philipp are a nice surfer couple and great hosts! Clean and nice rooms with cute hanging chairs in front of your room to read and chill. Nice breakfast too. Walking distance to a wonderful beach. Philipp even helped me spot a few sloths on the beach!

    Great location, 3min walk from the wonderful Matapalo beach. You can have hammocks for the beach (for free). Breakfast was good. Nice breakfast area. Monkeys and sloths are around the BnB. The host Lettika is very friendly and is glad to help if you have any questions.

    David and his wife were great hosts for our stay with them. They were both on hand to help with any questions and anything we needed. the hotel is beautiful with large rooms with ac a rarity in Costa Rica, we loved the garden and was like a little garden of Eden where we had breakfast every day. Matapolo is a quiet seaside village away from the hustle and bustle with a beautiful beach which you feel like you have to yourself. We would definitely stay again.

    We 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.

    perfect stay! all necessities were present, such as a well-functioning air conditioning and a lovely shower. In addition, the room was very spacious and the bed nice and big! We really looked forward to breakfast every day. It was a wonderful start of the day to have a nice breakfast in the beautiful garden :) Lettika recommended a rafting tour at Rafiki jungle lodge which was great! She was a great host and we had an amazing time.
