Rita & Sonny Tropical 'Surf' Cabina

Rita and Sonny were excellent hosts. They were attentive, communicative and available when required. We only stayed one night and regret not staying for more. The ocean is right outside your front door, couldn't be any more perfect.

-- Bring water shoes for the Lava Rocks in/around the area -- Went solo and had zero concern for safety everywhere I went. --Rita/Sonny were extraordinary hosts. Sonny was most attentive and has a genuine kind soul. He was extremely diligent in responding to a question or request. Even laid out a coconut that had just fallen upon arrival and pointed out a lime tree for fresh limes adjacent to the cabin. --The waves are so pleasant. I think most would want or book this place with the proximity to the ocean in mind but if it is something that bothers you the fans going drown the noise out. -- Snorkeling is best at low tide and I would have to agree, it is like traversing through you're own large aquarium with several small and large pools in and around the lava rock. Fish, plants, and two eels were discovered! -- You are just far enough removed but still close to areas of interest. I personally walked north and south several times down to the various playas, and they would only be a short drive otherwise. -- 4x4 is not necessary but the final stretch of road (and others surrounding Playa Callejones) are not paved with various potholes. Go slow and navigate around and you'll be fine in a car. There is a 'main' paved road you can reach rather quickly. -- Howler Monkeys were heard a handful of times! -- The cabin has AC, all amenities, and would be perfect for a solo traveler or a couple that understands Pura Vida!! Thank you!

Great place to enjoy the ocean in Costa Rica away from the tourist centers! Warm Pacific Ocean was literally 50 feet from the Cabina. The Cabina is a basic cabin with no frills as shown in the pictures, but very comfortable. The ocean waves can lull you to sleep or keep you up at night so bring earplugs. Rita and Sonny are attentive, gracious and laid-back hosts. We went at the end of April when it was hot and humid. Since air-conditioning is rare in Costa Rica, be prepared to take lots of showers to cool off or swim in the ocean (bring water shoes for the volcanic rock beach at low tide). We experienced a group of howler monkeys only a block from our cabin and on our last night, a huge four-foot green sea turtle was trying to lay her eggs outside our window -a rare sighting to experience!

Very nice beach, cabina and location. Both Rita and Sonny are great hosts very helpfull and friendly. Location is a little isolated, but great for relaxing. Tours do pick you up from there. A car is almost a must
