L&L Aparthotel

Península de Nicoya


Tucked between Montezuma and Cabuya, these tidy little chalets look like Lincoln log cabins in the tropics. They're equipped with living rooms, kitchens, dining areas and (in some cases) terraces that look out over the pool and lush surrounding gardens. Lots of wildlife around these parts, and the French owners are lovely. Short walk to Playa Cedros.
