El Faro Playa Spa

South Coast


El Faro Playa Spa is on the northwestern tip of Jambelí, accessible via a 30-40 minute walk from the pier along the beach or direct boat transfer. The grounds could do with a little upkeep, but the 16 A-frame, thatch-roofed cottages are pleasant enough. Day visits are $30, including transfers to and from Jambelí, lunch, and use of the facilities.
