PAPAGALLO PLACE
Welcome to Papagallo Place with our guest villa and guest suite. This upscale, tropical, Asian-style compound offers all the amenities of a luxurious getaway with ocean and jungle views. All four houses are new in our gated compound with 24-hour security. The compound consists of the guest villa, guest suite, our main house and our caretaker family house.
Access is very easy as we are only point-six miles off the newly paved Costanera Highway above the quaint village of Uvita at an elevation of 700 feet overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We are south of Dominical and adjacent to the beautiful Ballena National Marine Park.
As guests in our villa or suite, you will also have full use of all compound facilities, including the large tiled "chlorine-free" pool that is surrounded with Columbian crushed coral decking (cool on the feet). Adjacent to the pool is a Balinesian-style open pavilion complete with palm thatched roof, hammocks, and gas barbecue. A "tree-house" deck connects to the pool deck, overlooks the ocean and is built on stilts. Computer/internet access is also available for your use in the main house, as is our telephone with answering machine. For your arrival, complementary wine, beer, and bottled water are included, and grocery shopping can be arranged. Daily housekeeping is included and a full-size washer/dryer is for your use.
The natural beauty of this area and wealth of activities make this a truly great destination. The lush jungle plunges into the sea and the colors are truly tropical. Monkeys, toucans, scarlet macaws, and hummingbirds are all around, and our three caged parrots and three pedigreed dogs add to the entertainment. Beautiful landscaping features exotic tropical plants everywhere.
Our caretakers are also here to help. Patricia can babysit and do your laundry. Donald is great at fixing things, and their children, seven and four, are delightful.
Our location is only five-eight minutes from all 11 fabulous beaches in Ballena National Marine Park, including Playa Ventanas, which is a must visit. Ventanas, or Windows Beach, gets its name from the beautiful sea caves which extend from the beach to the ocean, a distance of 40 meters, and during certain tides you can see a blowhole effect.
