We only stayed a night in Finca Bavaria and we wished we would have more time to enjoy the property. The hotel is on top of a hill (need 4x4 to get there) and gives you a great view. In the morning you can easily spot toucans and other colorful birds. There is a restaurant that serves the breakfast but it's not open for lunches and dinners (we drove to Madras and recommend it). At night you will see huge bugs and even a few in your room, but there are bug nets over the beds. The bathroom was very clean and overall the room was beautiful and modern looking.

Set in the middle of a secondary forest you don't need to venture far to see lots of birds. Even a coati kept walking past the patio. You can hear howler monkeys and toucans, the latter sometimes sitting in the nearby trees. The Finca maintains a nice hiking trail which you can do in about an hour (allowing time to look around) before breakfast. Because the Finca is elevated you can see the Pacific Ocean. The sunsets are stunning. Breakfast is big with some German goodies such as cheese, sausage and homemade bread for those who have got a craving. They also serve the tipical Tico Gallo Pinto and lots of delicious fruit. It is possible to have dinner there if you reserve in advance, although it is not a restaurant which is open to the public. We had dinner there one evening which was nice because you would have to use your car if you went to a restaurant. Driving up to the Finca can be a bit tricky when the track is wet as it is not a paved road. The atmosphere is very relaxed and guests gather on the patio in the evening to watch the sunset and exchange their travel adventures. The pool has a fairly good size and the views from it are fabulous. The area is not yet on the beaten track of Costa Rica so it is a good time to explore it. The main road only got paved a short while ago so soon there will be a lot more visitors to the area as it is actually quite close to the Manuel Antonio NP.

Our one night stay in the jungle with a beautiful ocean view was excellent. Friendly staff, nice room, beautiful views and great breakfast, only a few km from highway.

At km 167 of route 34, about 20kms south of Dominical, near playa Ballena, take the steep road going into the jungle to reach Finca Bavaria and you'll reach a small corner of paradise on earth. 4WD is needed. Small, elegant, beautiful, solar powered. The pool filled with spring water,  is immersed in the lush jungle overlooking the Pacific ocean, as the rooms and terraces. In Jan the sun sets right in front of it offering unforgettable sunsets. Breakfast is delicious. People are very nice. Far away you can hear the roaring cries of the squirrel monkeys.  About $100 all included for a room for two. No wifi just relax.
Highly recommended.
