The water taxi dropped us off in a rainstorm on what looked like a deserted beach, and sure enough there was a road and a bus stop, and a little store where we found Elena, who offered to give us a reduced rate in one of the two Cabanas at her place. It was comfortable and well furnished. She is... More

Playa Zancudo lies far away from everything that is stressful an d hectic! After you've made the long long way on gravel roads you'll be rewarded by a wonderful lonely black beach. The Oceano Cabinas lie directly on the beach. Elena, the owner is a warmhearted, friendly american. There are only 2 rooms,which are small but absolutely sufficient because you're... More

Just a wonderful place to stay. The hotel has two air-conditioned, roomy cabinas that were CLEAN. The on sight kitchen, open air with a thatched roof, served excellent food and had many local customers. The staff was always ready to help and the owner was a wealth of information on what to do and how to get there. Playa Zancudo... More

The beach is only meters away and there's also a... More

This was my first time to the beaches of Costa Rica. I knew it would be warm, or hot for me. I was looking at Zancudo Beach as it was close to Panama where I am living. I could not find a place to stay that had air-conditioning (my #1 priority) until I found Oceano Cabinas. There were only 2... More

In fact I could have just eaten all day everyday on my vacation.... More

I have never experienced anything like this before in my life. Upon arrival I was greeted by Steph in Golfito. She escorted me to Playa Zancudo by boat and what a gorgeous ride it was. I was floored when shown my cabina. These rooms are gorgeous and they had the most comfortable beds. I really enjoyed having my morning coffee... More

My husband and I went on our second trip to Costa Rica and decided that this time we would go a little further off the beaten track - are we ever glad we did. After hearing some other travelers’ mention the fantastic time they had down south we decided to give it a shot. It was an amazing trip from... More
