We had a wonderful stay! Sibyl (the owner) is so lovely and helpful. We LOVED our time here. It is a gem of a place. Gorgeous views all around and very peaceful.

The location and beach are amazing

The cleanliness and maintenance was poor.

We had an amazing stay at Casas Pelicano! Sibyl is a very welcoming and helpful host and all together great and interesting person - she even drove us into town to get food and brought us home made cake! The property is paradisic and features a swimming pool overlooking the ocean, with very quick and easy beach access. The guest house we stayed at is very pretty, includes all the amenities you need (even a smoothie mixer), a warm shower, comfortable bed , and is very secure. It has a private veranda with a hammock on it and more lovely views. The beaches are very quiet with not many people at all and great for swimming and surfing and taking long walks. The village is equally quiet, but includes a few good restaurants and a shop as well as a bus connection to Santa Cruz for those travelling without a car. We can highly recommend staying here!

This quaint and charming property is located just steps above a beautiful beach, with stunning views and sunsets.

Like other guests have mentioned in their reviews, there are quite a few insects that are probably normal for Costa Rica but tourists may not be used to.

This is for everyone who wants to experience nature. It's right by the beach, you can hear the waves from the house. The pool is nice and there is loads of wildlife all around. There is a seaturtle hatchery that you can reach by foot where they will sometimes release the baby turtles to the sea (super magical). The host Sybil is very nice and helpful (she even organised transport for us!) & there are wonderful sunsets every evening!

This is not really negative points but just things you should know. The house is situated quite remotely and in nature. 1. There are insects of course because it is a tropical environment. If you're heavily bothered by ants in the house it's probably not for you. 2. You can only really get there by car, if you don't have a car you need to get a driver. Once you're there, the grocery store is ~ 10min walking distance.

The property at Casas Pelicanos is beautiful, overlooking the ocean through tropical trees and bouganvillia. Gorgeous sunsets and the kitchen was very well equipped. The beach is wonderful for walking and playing in the waves.

The mattresses need updating. They were not very comfortable.

excellent private location and easy access to the beach. No crowds and and very spacious rooms with all the kitchen needs you could possibly want. I signed up for the cooking class experience with the host and it was so personalized and fun and I learned a lot about new techniques and new foods for Costa Rica! Highly recommend it!

so many ants in the room but that’s the tropics!
