The serene atmosphere created by the tropical landscaping complemented perfect mornings with coffee on our porch. The almost private pool felt like a retreat, enhancing our experience immensely.

The pool, while pleasant, could use more lounging options for those busy afternoons. The slight difficulty in accessing the beach may not suit everyone’s preferences.

cozy, cozy, cozy

We spent 5 nights in a Double Room with Balcony and Sea View, and it was perfect! The outdoor swimming pool felt like our own oasis, with only a few guests sharing the experience. Each morning, we sipped coffee on our screened-in porch while the sunset painted the sky in the evening-a amazing backdrop to our getaway.

totally recommend ❤️🌟

The landscaping and pool provide a serene atmosphere. However, the rocky beach made swimming difficult at times.

Staying here with the kids and a friend was awesome! The big game room kept everyone entertained, and the onsite pool was a favorite hangout spot. We enjoyed access to the gardens, too, for some relaxing family time after surfing at the excellent point break nearby.

My wife says that the breakfast options could be improved.

This secret part of Costa Rica is very much off the beaten path, but worth every mile down the beautiful west coast! The landscaping at La Ponderosa features intricate tropical vegetation, making it feel like a personal paradise. The upstairs room had a screened-in porch perfect for sipping coffee and enjoying fabulous sunsets. The pool was often like our private oasis with just a couple of guests sharing it.

This place was a proper fit for a rapid stop in Pavones with good price-value balance. The big game room kept everyone entertained, making our stay enjoyable and lively. Grab a coffee early to catch the beautiful morning light outdoors.
