Pacifico Lunada  

On Costa Rica’s Pacific coast in Quepos, Puntarenas — a short hop from Manuel Antonio National Park. The property sits about 2 km from the park, roughly 3 km from Quepos town center and a 9 km drive from Quepos Airport. Nearby highlights include Playa Tulemar, Playa Biesanz and the Greentique Wildlife Refuge. A family-friendly base for wildlife and beach days.

A small Mediterranean-style hotel with just 12 rooms. Rooms come with queen beds, air conditioning, cable TV, an in-room safe, reading lamps and en suite showers with hot water. Simple, relaxed décor that mixes Mediterranean touches with the surrounding tropical vegetation — wake up to sea-breeze mornings after a day in the park.

Take a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool or stretch out on sun loungers; parasols are laid out on the nearby beach. On-site bar and restaurant, laundry service, guest parking and a hotel safe keep stays easy and low-fi.

Wireless internet access is available on the property. Parking is provided for guests traveling by car.

On-site restaurant serves local cuisine with lunch and dinner à la carte options. A casual bar offers drinks after full days of sightseeing.
