Nestled in the hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Finca Buen Pais is a 55 acre private reserve with an infinity-edge pool, a natural waterfall, walking trails in the tropical forest, wildlife, birds, and much more.

Our rental casita, newly constructed in 2007, is a charming, fully equipped home with a spacious veranda from which the sunset can be enjoyed each evening. It has one bedroom, as well as a sofa bed in the living room and sleeps 2-4. The bedroom has a queen bed and a built-in reading nook, which can also be used as a bed for a small child. French doors from both the living room and the bedroom lead to the veranda which runs across the entire front of the casita. The house and veranda are fully tiled and nicely furnished, including a hammock and rocking chairs. The tiled bathroom features a private outdoor shower. The casita enjoys stunning ocean and valley views in every direction. Guests have access to the distinctive tiled pool, a 35 foot diameter half-circle with a waterfall and infinity edge. There is also a sundeck and thatch-roofed rancho.

The property is a tropical Garden of Eden with lush tropical foliage, flowering trees and shrubs, and fruit trees. There is abundant wildlife, including howler monkeys, gautusas, coatimundis, ocelots, jagarundis, deer, armadillo, and peccaries, and there are a wide assortment of colorful birds, including parrots, parakeets, toucans, motmots, manakins, woodpeckers, hummingbirds, and trogans. The land is surrounded by deep jungle ravines on all sides, and guests can explore the rivers bordering the property and swim under the private natural waterfall.

Finca Buen Pais is a 10 minute drive from the undeveloped beach at Manzanillo and only 30 minutes from the popular tourist towns of Mal Pais, Montezuma and Santa Teresa. It is a perfect base for exploring the Southern Nicoya Peninsula, while enjoying the tranquility of a private resort. Horseback riding from your front steps can be arranged.

After a day of exploring the Southern Nicoya Peninsula, enjoy the sunset over the ocean from the rancho or veranda with a cool drink or a mango or coconut picked fresh from the tree.

  • The Guest House at Buen Pais is well equipped, comfortable and just delightful to stay in.It has a wonderful view and the pool in the park-like setting is a great bonus. Ann, Robert and Noah are fabulous hosts that always make me feel like I am part of the family.

  • Wonderful place, delightful hosts. The property itself is a pleasant distance from tourist hubbub and, sitting on a hillside above the ocean, was pleasantly cool at night. Wonderful views all around. Accessible to beaches, waterfalls, jungle and neighboring towns. The proprietors, Robert and Ann, are seemingly all-knowing about the surrounding area. The casita was very comfortable - kitchen and other facilities were first rate. The open air shower was a big hit with adults and children. Watch howler monkeys while lathering up!

  • Buen Pais is truly a magical place. It is beautiful, tranquil, and centrally located to many amazing spots close by. The monkeys hanging in the trees above are enchanting as are the wild flowers and fruits growing everywhere. Robert, Anne and Noah are charming and wonderful hosts. I can't wait to go back!
