Elena and her house are just a perfect mach for a tranquil stay in a Tico sourandings. Small hostel with a big forested souraunding (you can swim in a creek). Rooms are simple, the house dogs nice to the guests, and Elena also cook on a request. The village is small but with 2 restaurants, shops, nice walks... More

First, the positives. The finca is in the tiny town(?) of Londres -- definitely off the beaten path and a nice change from more touristy areas. The owner, Elena, also tries hard to make your stay a group experience -- dinner together, trips to local restaurants/bars, and arranging tours. We weren't very happy with our room, though. It was dirty,... More

We took a taxi from Quepos to Londres, and took a turn at the sign to Finca Amanecer, after London Bridge. We arrived at a small, unmarked bungalow with locked doors and windows. A frantically barking dog came to greet us, but there was no sight of a living soul otherwise. We waited and wandered around about for 20 minutes,... More

A lovely little, privately run, eco farm situated in Londres, amidst the heart of the rainforest. I stayed for one night just for the experience of being amongst the wildlife. You must take bug spray!! Elena is a brilliant and attentive hostess - her dogs are adorable and friendly. This is the place to go if you want an authentic... More

We really enjoyed our stay! Elena, the owner, has her imperfections, but is quite enjoyable with the right crowd and restrictions. She looks forward to guests, as I am sure she doesn't speak a lot of Spanish. Due to the location, I would recommend coming with a group of alternative friends and travelers... a little Spanish will get you brownie... More

We were lucky to include this tropical gem in our journey. A family of 3 (with a teenager) spent 3 days at Finca Amanecer in February. From the first sec we loved this place very much. Elena (the owner) is a very open-minded and creative person to speak to. Her experience of living in Costa Rica can reveal very interesting... More

This place is a beautiful picture of the Costa Rican countryside. Londres is a tiny unspoiled town where Pasture land meets Jungle. The people here ore real Ticos with the usual Cost Rican fastidiousness of good manners an cleanliness. At Finca Amanacer you can rise with the sun in a crescendo of birdsong and ramble in the garden to pick... More

Finca Amanecer is the perfect escape from the hustle of Costa Rica’s beach communities. Only ten miles east of Quepos, this quiet eco-resort offers comfortable accommodations for individuals and groups on seven acres of lush tropical forest. This is the place to experience exotic bamboo groves, flowering ginger and at least 30 different species of colorful birds. The town of... More

Finca Amanecer is a great place to escape - for those not faint of heart. Off the beaten path in Londres, a small Tico town, the Finca will give you a good sense of local life in Costa Rica (and a great place to practice your spanish). A perfect location for rest, relaxation, hiking or to try your hand at... More
