Perched on a mountainside cacao forest in Puntarenas, the Casa de Cacao offers a rare blend of modern comfort and untouched nature. This two-bedroom sanctuary provides expansive views of the Parrita River Valley, giving guests the feeling of living among the treetops—just like a bird in its nest.

Wake to the morning chorus of howler monkeys, toucans, and scarlet macaws, and fall asleep to the rhythm of cicadas and rainforest frogs. This property is a hidden gem for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts, who often spot over 100 species of birds, butterflies, and jungle animals without ever leaving the deck.

Unlike crowded resorts, the Casa de Cacao offers intimacy, serenity, and ecological richness, while still being just 15 minutes from the pristine Playa Bandera and local town life in Parrita. Guests enjoy the seclusion of the cacao forest, paired with easy access to Manuel Antonio National Park and other ecotourism landmarks.

But what truly sets this property apart is the on-site presence of Amber Summers, a seasoned holistic healthcare practitioner who hosts optional wellness sessions and retreats. Her presence turns an already magical stay into a soul-nourishing experience.
