Hotel Quinta Esencia

Península de Nicoya


An artistic vibe pervades this chilled-out lodging, built around the trees on the northern edge of Brasilito. The comfortable guest rooms feature driftwood, bamboo and neutral tones, accented by ribbons of color. Co-owner Stephanie is an artist, and you'll see her work scattered about the premises. There's a lot of love (and a few cute cats and dogs) here.

It's up a somewhat rough road.
