Good sunset, airy rooms, a good value place , and access point for coast path going south

Beech is steep and waves just too big to swim, need to walk 15mins .north . Rooms are flimsy , but area seems Safe. Valuables can be left at reception. Food is not cheap.

"Absolutely loved Life for Life. I would stay again."

9.0

The location of life for life is a bit far out but I LOVED that part! It is secluded, gorgeous, with tons of trails in the area to walk and explore the beach and jungle.

Just a bit more cleanliness in the communal kitchen space and eating spaces.

"Un paradiso come pochi"

10.0

È un posto magico di fronte al mare e immerso nel verde. Un paradiso di tranquillità. Da lì si può fare un bellissimo e semplice trekking (più una passeggiata in mezzo alla natura) e attraversare una parte della costa. Le foto su booking non rendono quello che sono le camere veramente e il posto. Il mio 'bungalow' era super spazioso, pulito e non mancava di nulla. Il personale puliva e sistemava tutti i giorni la mia stanza (dopo avermi chiesto se potevano farlo). Rodriguez è veramente una persona fantastica, c'è sempre ed ha quella tranquillità tipica delle persone del posto. Ti viene a prendere quanto arrivi, ti accompagna quando c'è da prendere la barca per andare a fare l'escursione o per andar via. Sono veramente felice di essere stata lì e spero che il posto resti sempre così. Ah la colazione era spaziale (allego foto del gallo pinto) e anche il servizio di ristorazione è veramente valido. Grandissimo il cuoco e il 'pasticciere'.

Niente, avevo tutto ciò che serviva.

"Beter bekijk je ook de andere opties in de buurt…"

7.0

De plek is heerlijk, het is een hele fijne tuin en je kunt zowel links als recht via de kust wandelen.

De keuken is nauwelijks compleet met wat je nodig hebt. Het is er niet schoon. Hoewel de beste man die schoonmaakt en de boel bijhoudt, echt wel zijn best doet. Maar de dooie motten liggen in de pannen in de keuken. En die lagen er bij vertrek nog steeds…. Mijn kamer (dorm) werd elke dag bespoten met luchtverfrisser om de muffigheid te verdoezelen van de badkamer die ernaast zat. Daarnaast is het personeel in mijn ogen niet bekwaam om een gastenverblijf te runnen. Deze plek is enorm opgehemeld, maar ik begrijp niet helemaal waarom… Ik heb ook in Drake Bay verbleven en daar krijg je wel waar voor je geld plus schone accommodatie.

"Unbeschreibliche, wunderbarer Aufenthalt im Paradies!"

10.0

Ein Camp, mitten im Dschungel in nächster Nähe zum Corcovado, Nationalpark. Wir waren teilweise die einzigen Gäste und wurden sehr aufmerksam und fürsorglich familiär betreut. Die Lage ist phänomenal, wenn auch nicht ganz leicht erreichbar. Ein wunderbarer und sicherer Strand mit Schnorchel Möglichkeit ist zu Fuß erreichbar. Außerdem konnten wir die Babyschildkröten bei ihrem Gang ins Meer begleiten und sehen. Es bestand die Möglichkeit, kostenlos eine Gemeinschaftsküche zu benutzen, allerdings ist es dafür erforderlich, alle Lebensmittel und Getränke bereits bei der Anreise mitzubringen, da die nächste Einkaufsmöglichkeit sehr weit entfernt ist. Auch Insektenschutz und Sonnenmittel sollten ausreichend dabei sein.

Es ist sehr wichtig, genug Bargeld zu haben, da bei Kartenzahlung ein eigener Zuschlag verrechnet wird.

Tout était parfait, le lieu magnifique, depuis le logement nous avons vu des singes des perroquets des Coatis, le personnel très sympathique et aidant. Un chemin magnifique permet de se promener entre plage et jungle. Nous serions bien resté plus longtemps.
