Stuff You Should Know

That dirt road to paradise? It demands 4x4 respect. The restaurant staff could use a Spotify intervention (generic radio vibes clash with designer digs), but they'll happily deliver dinner to your villa. No beach access, but Uvita's surf is a short drive away. Privacy meets pampering here - cook in your designer kitchen or let the restaurant handle it. Pro tip: The water slide isn't kidding around - approach with courage and perhaps a waiver. Split between three couples, the nightly rate for architectural excellence feels almost reasonable.

Food and drink

Food + Drink On-site surprises

From Self-Catering to Service at Your Door

Your fully equipped kitchen invites culinary creativity, but the restaurant 50 meters away offers a delicious plan B. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner available at your villa or the restaurant proper, though the soundtrack needs an upgrade from generic radio to match the sophisticated setting. While the staff's warmth compensates for occasional timing quirks, you might want to stock some supplies - the nearest store is a minor mission. Consider the restaurant your backup plan rather than your primary strategy, and you'll find the perfect balance between self-sufficiency and service.
