Recent Cabo Matapalo vacation rental reviews

If you are looking for a special place to stay near Playa Matapalo this is it! At the end of the beach road is a small group of rancho’s cabinas. We stayed in Casa Contiki, a 2 story Rancho style with 1 bedroom and bath on main floor with living room and kitchen, a second bedroom and bath are up a spiral staircase on the 2nd floor. The Rancho is all open air but there are mosquito nets around the beds which did a Great job keeping the insects out. The beds are comfortable, the bath area great. Complete with tub ( we didn’t use except to dry wetsuits 😃) big shower area. There is no a/c but we didn’t need it. Nights are cool and breezy. Lots of room to prepare meals, be sure to bring what you need with you, closest store is about 1 hour away. If you find yourself in need - Joel, the Property Manager knows a guy 😁 he brought us fresh fish and additional groceries for cost of food and a $20 delivery fee. We have told friends in Guanacaste about this home. We will be back!

This place is beautiful! Joel(manager) is a great man and extremely helpful. The road in is challenging must have 4x4.

I loved how involved and a part of nature I felt here! The view was beautiful and seeing all the creatures daily was amazing! If you are a light sleeper, I would suggest earplugs. The road does seem like a game trail once you get closer to the home so that are not joking when they say you'll need a 4x4 (also, make sure you have a full sized spare). The team at the home were friendly and communicative whenever I reached out. The closest supermarket is about a 15 minute drive but once you're at the home you probably won't want to trek out to it. There are also a few other hotels nearby that have a bar/restaurant.
