To finish off our 2.5 backapacking trip through Costa Rica, I thought I would spoil us by spending our last four days at La Costa de Papito. When we arrived we were so used to staying in hostels & B&B's that we wondered if the splurge would be worth it. Well let me tell you, it was. We had a... More

Looking for a unique vacation. One that will take you back to nature and the simple things in life. A vacation where you can focus on the important things in life - like each other or the whole family. La Costa De Papito on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica is just that. Beautifully carved bungalows nestled in a jungle... More

We just came back from one of the most wonderful places we've been. It's kind of hidden and we're glad about that but at the same time we would like somehow ( so we don't feel selfish) to share this experience with everybody. We've been at La Costa de Papito in the East coast of Costa Rica, a few miles... More

This is the third place we stayed on our Costa Rica adventure. So very nice. The huts were very nice. The property was just lovely. The food was great! The staff was very helpful and nice! From what I could tell, I am not a surfer, there was amazing surfing right across the street. The only complaints we had were... More

I am admittedly not an outdoorsy type. Hey.. I like having my comforts.. duvet, air conditioning, fancy soaps and knowing that I can eat off the bathroom floor if needed. Surprisingly, this place was great!!! The rooms are fancy huts... and I actually liked it. I never saw any weird bugs in our room, and we didn't even have screens.... More

We are home from our Costa Rica adventure, planned just two days before leaving. Papito is a perfect location, close to beaches; a walk or bike ride pretty much everywhere. Lots of tours available. We didn't feel a disadvantage not having rented a car. We relaxed and enjoyed. The entire staff (Minerva, Jairo, Melvin, Francesco, Cindy (certain to have left... More

We recently stayed at La Costa de Papito - two adults and two kids (eleven and fourteen). We very much enjoyed staying at this property. The location is perfect. It is an easy bike ride or walk to Peurto Viejo and yet you are far enough away that if you don't want to deal with the noise and people you... More

The grounds of this hotel were very beautiful. We stayed in the budget cabin because all the other cabinas were full. The budget cabin had it's ups and downs. It's a really great price. It's close to the restaurant, which means it's noisy but only until 10 when they close. The nice part of that though was that the night... More

I love this place. Owned by a New Yorker who started off with one bungalow a few years ago, the staff here are the ultimate in customer Service. From Marva in the front office, to the restaurant server (sorry I forgot her name) but EVERYONE was so very helpful with everything. From what places to eat (Cafe Viejo!), exzcursions to... More
