First light slips through the canopy and the Gulf of Papagayo turns silver.
Timber walkways thread the headland to 153 rooms and suites, all angled toward the bay and framed by whispering forest.
This modern, tropical resort lives between ocean and trees—calm coves for morning swims, infinity pools that drink the horizon, and nights scented with lime, salt, and wood smoke.
Morning
Barefoot to the cove before the world wakes; water flat as glass, pelicans skimming the surface. Breakfast brings papaya and pineapple cold from the fridge, gallo pinto with plantains, and coffee dark as molasses.
Afternoon
Trade winds ruffle the palms by the infinity pool. Lunch is snapper ceviche bright with lime and a charred corn salad. A deep-tissue massage in a jungle-view room ends with a cool plunge and leaf-scented air.
Evening
Golden hour paints the cliffs honey. Order wood-grilled day-catch with chimichurri; a Guanacaste rum cocktail fogs the glass while the bay turns indigo.
Night
From your terrace you hear cicadas and the hush of surf; stars salt the sky and the timber boards keep a trace of the day’s warmth.
