The questions that come up before almost every stay on Costa Rica's Southern Pacific coast — answered once, clearly, from real guest experience.
Costa Ballena, Uvita, Dominical & Ojochal — how the region actually fits together, and whether you can walk to the beach.
Airports, the ~3.5-hour drive, arrival day, and the gentler ways to begin — including what to do if you land late.
Do you need a 4x4? Who to rent from, transfers and drivers, and how villa access and meeting points really work.
Which beach for swimming vs surfing, the Whale's Tail, the waterfalls, and the tours worth booking ahead.
The private chef, where to actually buy groceries, the markets and fish vendors, delivery, and where to eat out.
The two seasons, the heat and rain, which rooms have AC, and exactly what to bring — and not worry about.
Toucans, monkeys, sloths, the night soundscape, and how to live easily alongside open-air rainforest life.
Children, grandparents, pool safety, mobility, swim lessons, and combining neighbouring villas for several families.
Clinics, pharmacies, labs, hospitals, 911, travel insurance, and how the team helps when something changes.
Side by side — services, beaches, food, drive times, and which villas sit above each town.
