Cabinas Au Coeur du Soleil

Southern Costa Rica & Península de Osa


These three brightly painted, lovingly maintained cabins have fans, fridges and kitchenettes, along with hammock-strung porches and tons of homey charm. The young French-Canadian hosts Joanne and Daniel are warm and gregarious, offering guests the use of bikes for cruising around Zancudo and kayaks and bodyboards for hitting the sea.
