Costa Rica - Our happy place
Where in the world are we? Feels like paradise to us!
Why choose Platanillo?
We are located in the Southern Pacific zone of Costa Rica between Dominical and San Isidro. This is our “Goldilocks” place. We are inland and uphill from the beaches and the crowds, where the temperatures are cooler and the green areas are much larger, but where restaurants, shops, outdoor adventures and multiple waterfalls are still within easy reach. Many of our guests have started out renting by the beach, because everyone wants to be by the beach, right? But when the heat, humidity, traffic and noise get to them, they start to look where the air is cooler and peace and quiet can be found. We’re here when you’re ready!
