A Memorable Trip

The trip from Puerto Jimenez (12 miles or a 45 minutes drive) to Tres Palmas was like a fairly tale drive through thick tropical forest and lush vegetation running down from the mountains and touching the ocean to our left. Birds and wildlife were abundant, but there was a noticeable lack of traffic, road signs, power lines and people. Perfect!

Along the way we quartered the Gulfo Dulce and at times came to open cattle pastures with majestic views of tubing waves breaking at point breaks in the distance.

Once we reached the entrance to Tres Palmas the fun really began! The drive up and down the 1 mile road was steep and exciting! The size of the trees towering all around us was incredible and we could hear and see howling monkeys. My immediate thoughts were, “We've found paradise!” But the best was yet to come. The Tres Palmas property overlooks Cabo Matapalo. The vista is downright breathtaking. I've never witnessed a more moving perspective in all of Costa Rica!

The amazing thing about this area is that there are so many amazing things to do and see. Within a walking distance you can experience world class surfing, hiking, wildlife, beach combing, fishing and much more.

The accommodations and food were all 5 star class.

This was my fifth multi-week trip to Costa Rica and hands down because of our visit to Tres Palmas it will be always the most memorable and exciting.

My family arrived at Tres Palmas after a harrowing drive, only to find Paradise on Earth. The location and beauty are exquisite, yet simple. The "tiki hut" is larger than life, with all the ameneities a family would look for. The kids loved the pool and surrounding area. The people of the area are friendly and helpful as well.
Monkeys will awake you with a gentle howl as you start the day with spectacular sunrises. Lisa, the caretaker at the time, was friendly helpful and fun to be with. We had the time of our lives and will definitely go back!!! Our family voted it our best vacation...."even better than Maui"!!

Our first trip to Costa Rica, and it was so hard to decide where to go and stay. Tres Palmas was absolutely the right choice -- a spectacular oasis of peace and beauty. We loved the architecture, the design, the colours, the pottery collection, and ahhh -- that view! A 5-10 minute walk down and you come to a string of gorgeous beaches for fun in the surf or just walking. We felt like we were living the life of the rich and famous. Coming back to Tres Palmas after a day hiking in the jungle, walking in the grand front entrance, with the pool beckoning, wildlife viewing right from the patio, and that spectacular view beyond... pure contentment. Truly a place that feeds the soul. Wish we could have stayed longer. Luz Marina and her husband Oldemar were very kind, and her cooking was great. Thank you!
