Book Palmar Norte hotels

Highly recommended. Facility is outstanding. Only thing better is the service from staff. One of the best vacations I have ever been on.

Our family of 5 had an amazing stay at this home. It was the perfect hub to do everything we wanted to do and the views are better than the pictures. Mark is very responsive to questions and provided many recommendations. He emailed info to us after we booked and there is also a binder at the house. We did an all-day private boat tour with Martin Adventours and highly recommend them. It cost us less to combine sportfishing with snorkeling at Cano Island and we had the boat all to ourselves. Our tour guide and captain were exceptional. We did the Sierpe Mangrove tour with David. David was sick but Adriel took his place and he was wonderful. We saw more animals than we expected on this tour - amazing birds, some with babies or eggs, squirrel monkeys, a howler monkey, boa snakes, and a sloth. Highly recommend! We ate at the soda in Uvita, Bagel Time, Pizza Time, La Percela in Dominicalito (where we saw capuchin monkeys). Beehive restaurant in Uvita was our big splurge - pricey but the food and service were phenomenal. We even tried Pollolandia for one meal. All the food we had was delicious. The local supermarkets had everything we needed and the beaches were close and beautiful. We took road trips to the Boruca village and Don Emilio's coffee farm (visit the amazing waterfall up the road too). Both were worth the drive. From the house we saw toucans, agouti, scarlet macaws, iguanas, and many birds and the howler monkeys came out on our last night. Vacation of a lifetime!

Beautiful location! Wonderful part of Costa Rica

Todo estuvo excelente! La comida deliciosa, la única recomendación sería que el desayuno fuera a las 6am o 7am, ya que al ser a las 8am, no permite salir tan temprano para hacer tours o ir a la playa. Sin embargo, mi familia y yo quedamos encantados del lugar, definitivamente volveremos.

The location of the property is beautiful, set back from the road and elevated for a great view of the Pacific. We particularly enjoyed the Happy Hour each day at 5:00 to enjoy the fabulous sunsets. The pool, the colorful plants, the toucans, tanagers, orapendulas and numerous other birds added so much to our visit. The staff was so accommodating and friendly. Our 5 days spent at Cristal Ballena were top notch!

I do not think we could have stayed in a more perfect place. The landscaping, the scenery, the house were all beyond beautiful. The accommodations were just right for our family of 12. The owners thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The management company was responsive and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful vacation in a beautiful country.Betsy
