Offering garden views, Cabina Gan Eden - Walking distance from river is an accommodation set in Portalón, 28 km from Marina Pez Vela and 46 km from Rainmaker Costa Rica. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is situated 34 km from Manuel Antonio National Park.

The hosts were welcoming warm, and helpful. The path to the house is on a hillside slope with dense jungle throughout. Vanilla vines and flowers. Only the sounds of birds. The front porch has a hammock and sofa where I sketched and Jean napped. The interior space is simple and nicely functional. The views from the large bedroom windows put us up and into the beautiful jungle canopy. A highlight was the warm swim at the nearby waterfall. We were always going up or down. Be careful of your footing.

The villa offers an infinity pool. If you would like to discover the area, hiking is possible in the surroundings and a bicycle rental service can be arranged.

    Beautiful beach. The villa we rented had vintage character and was clean and comfortable. Staff was super nice and kept us informed if there was something cool to see, such as monkeys, sloths,etc. Also very nice breakfast served outside each morning.

    We felt very welcome at COCO beach Village. The owners are so kind and helpful! The room was big and very clean. AND THE LOCATION IS A HIDDEN GEM. Its perfect with the most beautiful sunsets! The area is nice, calm, safe and it’s a short walk to the amazing beach. When we’ll go to Costa Rica again we definitely will come back to this place!

    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.

    Ron and Tammy have created an oasis in a little beach town called Matapalo. Their garden and pool are so relaxing. Very clean! 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.
