    The staff was among the friendliest and most helpful I have ever met. On arrival we were personally welcomed by the manager on the parking area who ensured a car not belonging a client was removed out of the way. We got an immediate tour around...

    The location of Encantada Ocean cottages is superb, situated right on a long unspoilt, undeveloped sandy beach. The hotel has its own cabanas, loungers etc on the beach. The whole hotel is very attractive and the pool area offered very...

Company information

We fell in love with Costa Rica on our first trip and moved here in August 2013. We have since made it our mission to create a simple, clean, relaxing environment with a family feel for our guests to fall in love with Costa Rica just as we did.

Property information

Seven clean, spacious and simple ocean front cottages on the expansive, secluded, chocolate sand beach of Esterillos Este. Rent an individual cottage or the whole property. Great for groups and retreats or to simply relax in paradise.

Neighbourhood information

Playa Esterillos Este is located about 25 minutes south of the town of Jaco and 25 minutes north of Manual Antonio National Park in the Central Pacific region of Costa Rica. Esterillos Este is still very underdeveloped which makes it a quiet and relaxing place to get away from it all. The beach is great for surfing, body boarding, shell collecting or long private walks. We are also close to many tours for guests who want to venture out which we can schedule for you at the front desk.
