Family hotels and homes in Zapatón

The hacienda is a wonderful and peaceful place to enjoy the mountain and the views. We stayed two days and the hosts, Frédérique and Philippe made our stay a beautiful weekend to remember. It is a lovely new hotel, beautifully decorated, very comfortable and the meals are included and were very tasty. We really enjoyed the vanilla plantation tour with Philippe and the water falls he took us to see on their propriety, soooo refreshing! And we saw a few toucans and red macaws near the hacienda. If your are looking for a comfortable and quiet break with a view, don't hesitate. They can also organise hikes on their land (it's big) or on the nearby national park with a guide if you want a challenge.

Here's a list of the great things about this house: -The owner is exceptional! He communicated with us 2 weeks before our arrival and answered all our questions. This was our first trip to CR, and he gave us so many great tips. He gave us recommendations for where to stop for lunch along the road to the property from San Jose to where to shop for groceries. He was also very flexible in coordinating payment. -Gilberto is the property manager and he was extremely attentive. He met us at the house within a minute of our arrival and he was always available any time we needed anything. In fact, we needed an extra blanket for one of the beds and Gilberto showed up with a new comforter within an hour. We have had room service at hotels take longer! We felt like with Gilberto, we had a concierge. -The house is set back from the main road and very private. It has tall hedges that surround it and a gated driveway for added security. At night, the porch has retractable doors that can be closed. CR is safe, but we appreciated the sense of safety of being in a house that had added security features. -The town of Parrita has everything that you need, but it is not touristy. It has multiple grocery stores and convenience markets, and it is halfway between Quepos and Jaco. Plus the Playa Bandera is only a five minute drive from the house and it is a gorgeous and almost deserted beach. If you want just a beach vacation, you can stay at Hotel Villa Elenita and never leave the town of Parrita. -The kitchen appliances are new and top notch. Everything was clean and operated without any problems. -The bathroom is huge, clean, has great hot water, and the water pressure is good. -The bedrooms are big with plenty of storage space, and the beds and pillows are amazing. Everyone in our family slept like babies at Hotel Villa Elenita. We felt like the beds at this vacation house were more comfortable than ours back home!

We loved everything about our stay at Hacienda Mil Bellezas. The surroundings are very beautiful and the accommodation is comfortable with good beds, a kitchen and amazing views from the big balcony. It's quiet, well-maintained and clean. We also loved being around the (very sweet) dogs, admiring the hummingbirds in the flowers next tot the balcony and just sitting and watching the horses graze on the grass below us. Markus and his team work very hard behind the scenes, making it very easy for us guests to just wind down and relax. The pool is nice as well and so are many other things - go and experience it for yourself, I'd say - you won't regret it! Thank you again, Markus!

Incredible food, comfortable room and amazing setting. The grounds are incredible.
