Costa Rica - Cabo Matapalo
Description:
"Kapu" Rancho Almendros
This beautiful private Cabo Matapalo
retreat is located at the southern tip of Costa Rica’s "Last
Best Osa Peninsula". Enjoy the
harmony and privacy of this pristine natural setting with virgin coastal
rainforest and ocean
beaches right at your doorstep.
Remotely situated at the very
southern tip of the Osa Peninsula in Cabo Matapalo, Rancho Almendros is a
nature lover’s paradise! Enjoy this solar powered retreat, with all the
comforts, in a pristine natural setting. Both beach and virgin forest are
right at your doorstep. Superb meals are now included in the price of your
stay! Part of an ongoing reforestation
project of Indian Almond Trees to support the endangered Scarlet Macaw, "Kapu"Rancho
Almendros has the first solar powered houses built in the Cabo Matapalo
area. Each house comes complete with kitchens and refrigeration, private
baths connected to garden showers, solar electric lighting with bed-room
fans, hammocks, an outdoor barbecue and, a cooling pool of artesian creek
water. There are only four bedrooms available in two houses, with two guests
per room for a maximum of 8 guests. This assures our guests the maximum in
peace and privacy that larger establishments cannot offer.
All of our rooms are built in the tropical
style; plenty of fresh ventilation with with large generous windows that
are fully screened* in rooms of beautiful hardwood construction. Emphasis
has been placed on your privacy and the attentions of a full time live in
chef. This is truly an alternative to crowded hotels with multiple cabinas.
*Many lodges in the area advertise
"tropically efficient" unscreened bedrooms with mosquito netting. This does
not work in the Matapalo area for those who like to read in bed at night.
Mosquito netting ends up covered with insects that can keep you pinned to
your bed all night. This can be made worse by periodic migrations.
Screened rooms are essential and louvers give additional privacy.
One of the houses is the "Honeymoon Cabina",
with its upstairs bedroom surrounded by a 360 degree veranda, full view from
forest to ocean, a moon deck, comfortable chairs and hammocks and a small
cooling pool at the bottom of the staircase. It's secluded location brings
in a mix of sounds from the ocean and the forest.
A little closer to the beach, the newly
remodeled "Main Rancho" joins the large outdoor dining veranda and
has two private double rooms with a lookout "Mirador" on the second floor.
One of the bed rooms is also available as a private Honeymoon Suite for 2 at
a slight additional charge. This room has it's own private veranda and
entrance. |
