Lovely house in a beautiful place! Not a luxury resort, but if you don't mind a little effort to get there and don't need to be waited on... Casa Dulce is a wonderful place to relax and get away from the world. The house has...More

About the neighbourhood
Matapalo is a wonderful little neighborhood, located at the tip of the Penisula de Osa, 18 kilometers Puerto Jimenez. There are several eco-lodges that offer options for drinks and meals within walking distance. You can hike a short way up to Lapa Rios for a fantastic breakfast, lunch or dinner. The view alone is worth the walk. Don't miss Martina's Bar and Grill...especially on Friday nights. This is the one and only hang-out for both locals and tourists. Great drinks, fantastic food, and finish it off with a little dancing...Martina's is a must!
Getting around
Getting around in the Matapalo area is super easy either by foot or rent car. Once you get to Casa Dulce, you will not really need a car, but if you have one, you can buzz into town for whatever you need/want... Traveling by foot, whether you're combing the beautiful beaches or you're taking on the challenges of a jungle hike, an old pair of tennis shoes or water shoes will do the trick. Everything, within Matapalo, is within walking distance, but a car or taxi will be required when wanting to go to town. There is a local 'collectivo' that runs twice a day to and from Jimenez.
