The Tamandua Ecotourism complex is made up of a Biological Station located 3.1 mi from the beach, very close to the border with the Corcovado National Park, as well as 3 apartments and a large house located 0.9 mi from Drake Bay beach. The Biological Station boungalows are simple but very cozy, with a private bathroom or shared bathroom. There is also a large living room with kitchen, outdoor gardens, forest trails and natural pools. To get here there are 6 river crossings and therefore, if you arrive by your own car it must be a 4x4 and tall. We have research projects on our tropical forest property of 20 hectares. We offer restaurant service in this place. The apartments have one room for 4 people, a fully equipped kitchen, a living room and a balcony where you can enjoy the tropical forest, as well as private parking. They are very close to town, we do not have restaurant service here. The house has 2 rooms with capacity for up to 6 people, a fully equipped kitchen, a living room with TV, a balcony with views of the forest and parking. The house is very close to town, we do not have restaurant service here.

- "Incredible spot in the rainforest to experience nature. Trails straight from the station into the forest and a river for swimming right next to the garden. We saw monkeys, snakes, frogs, lizards, tons of birds. Rebeca is an amazing host, organised our transport and Sirena tour, and took us on great tours at the station. Alan is an excellent cook!" - "This is an amazing, magical place in the middle of rain forrest :) that is absolutely perfect for a relaxing time in the heart of nature itself, quiet and beatiful. We recommend a walk around the station. Rebeca is the best hostess you can ask for. She helped us a lot with transportation and trips. We had lovely stay in her place and we definetly recommend it!"

- "We loved this stay! The staff is very friendly. You have breakfast and dinner here with the other guests, together as a family. The shared deck where you can watch birds is very beautiful and peaceful. The rooms have a serene Bali meets Japan vibe." - "Emilio could not have been more helpful, generous, thoughtful, and generally delightful. The common patio is a paradise for bird-watching, as indeed are the individual balconies. The grounds are a perfect mix of wild and cultivated. Dinners at the communal table recall hotel traveling in the grand old style."

- "Lucas greeted my family on the beach upon our arrival from a tour of Corcovado National Park and quickly arranged for a car to drive us the short distance to Bella Vista. He and his extended family were welcoming and cooked hearty meals during our stay. A highlight was his demonstration of making coconut cookies from scratch. Delicious!" - "Simple and clean and beautiful viens" - "The owner was very welcoming" - "The food was just delicious, everything was made fresh and we got to taste delicious fruits. Would 100% recommend everyone to eat here, best food I’ve had in CR. Lucas showed us around the place and new all the trees and birds and animals. The view is just breathtaking. You want to capture it in a picture, but it’s impossible."

- "Pick-up and drop-off at the beach. Nice shower. Airconditioning." - "We had a room upgrade upon arrival, which made our stay much more comfortable! Room was huge, super comfy bed and a very good shower too. We had a nice balcony with a great view over the bay. Breakfast was also really good and they are flexible to book it early on, so you can still eat before leaving for the tours. There's also a good parking lot, which they let us use even after check-out (since we took a tour to Corcovado)."
