Hotel la Costa de Papito

Un lugar sencillo para descansar El personal muy amable y atento, un lugar tranquilo, rodeado de naturaleza. Tuvimos la oportunidad de mirar un perezoso en su habitad, así como otros animales silvestres.

La Costa de Papito was the perfect choice for lodging for us! The grounds are lovely - tidy and well maintained with various walkways going to the individual bungalows. It feels very private and peaceful. We stayed in a two BR bungalow which has a private common area in front (outside) and each BR has it’s own door. The bathroom is a separate door off the common area/porch, and was quite spacious. The bedrooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable. When I read about the mosquito nets around the beds, I was a bit apprehensive thinking that I’d be getting attacked by mosquitoes all night, but did not even see one! And while outside was very hot and humid, surprisingly sleeping was not an issue. There are enough fans in the rooms, both ceiling and standing ones, to keep it comfortable. That said, if you do not like white noise when you sleep, this could be an issue for you, as I wouldn’t want to try to sleep without the fans on! Breakfast was good and we liked the variety of choices offered. I loved the pitcher of fresh juice served each morning…. A different juice each day:) The staff was very welcoming, friendly and helpful! All in all a wonderful experience for us! I would definitely recommend staying here!

La Costa de Papito welcomed us in a friendly and pleasant way. The bungalow we stayed at (number 1) was way above expectations. Rustic, cosy, comfortable: it had all we needed in a style that fitted the surrounding environment. Very nice also the patio area. Personnel at the reception and at breakfast was helpful and accommodating. Breakfast is made on the spot, so fresh and very good quality (there are 5 menu options to choose from). Thank you for such an enjoyable stay!

Es un lugar en que te sientes en medio de la naturaleza. Los bungalows son maravilosos, todos construidos en madera, incluso los muebles, Las comodidades muy confortables. Bien ubicado, nadie te ve y no ves otros bungalows excepto desde el camino de entrada, La cordialidad de todos los que trabajan es increible, desde la recepcion hasta los jardineros y la muchacha que venia a limpiar el bungalow. Tienen muchas opciones de desayuno que se adaptan a todos los gustos y costumbres, El restaurante no depende del hotel. Es comida india , excelente. Si piensan en pasar unos dias en Cocles no duden en elegirlo.

Sus cabañas son muy originales al estar dentro de la propia vegetación. Es toda una experiencia dormir en ellas ya que, especialmente, cuando amanece te rodean multitud de sonidos (el aullar de los monos, el canto de pájaros….). Lo que más impacta es la caída de fruta y de algún que otro coco sobre el tejado. El interior de la cabaña es acogedor con sus mosquiteras en las camas y sus ventiladores en techo y pared. No hace falta aire acondicionado, por lo menos en los meses de invierno de Costa Rica, para no pasar calor. Su personal es muy atento y servicial. Se puede aparcar dentro del recinto gratis.

The place looks like it has not recovered from Covid. The bubgalows are nice, but a lot is old, not working properly and compared to other places we have been, lots of mosquitos (the garden is more a swamp) and cockroches. There were constructions ongoing during the day, and during breakfast. It was not nice sitting there in the middle of it. There is an Indian restaurant renting the place in the evening, but we preferred more local food and did not try it. No pool, WiFi only in the reception. Family did not really like the breakfast. I think they mean well, but not sure there are the means and knowledge of running the place. We stayed one night and would not have stayed more.
