Recent Cabo Matapalo vacation rental reviews

This place may not be for everyone. We were visited by: flying ants one night attracted by the lights, a scorpion in one the clothes drawer, coatis on several occasions, in the absolute dead of night we had a full-blown monkey fight 2 feet from the bed when they couldn't get the fridge open, bats visit the bathing pools, a spider the size of my hand was creeping around on the rocking chair and another one like it was behind the toilet. The night noises of Nature are loud but not as loud as at 4AM - you won't be sleeping in. The Matapolo Beach Road is a rough ride. And this may be the best place I've ever stayed in my life. It is situated at the end of the road, with a stunning view, the insects really aren't that big a deal - I never saw a mosquito in a week, several amazing beaches close by within walking distance, Joel is an unbeatable host, Puerto Jiminez is an easy drive and has everything you need, and Big Nature is in your face. I only wish we had booked it for longer.

Explore our Cabo Matapalo vacation rentals

This area has been called “some of the country’s most beautiful and least visited places.” You won’t find crowds here, just tropical rainforests and undisturbed beaches. The beaches here are perfect for surfing and are just minutes from our Cabo Matapalo condo rentals. If you’re looking for a place to swim or just splash around, the waters of nearby Pan Dulce are much gentler.

Where is Cabo Matapalo? 

A big draw to Cabo Matapalo is, understandably, the outdoors. King Louis Waterfall is just a short trip away and doesn’t require a strenuous hike to reach. Also nearby is Corcovado National Park, with over 100,000 acres of tropical rainforest. Costa Rica is a birdwatcher’s haven, and this park is no exception—you may even see sloths, tapirs, and monkeys.
