My boyfriend and I spent almost three weeks at Posada las Orquideas and absolutely LOVED it! The property is the perfect combination of peace & quiet, ocean views, bright & airy rooms, and convenience - a very nice 5-minute walk to town.
We opted for the Deluxe Suite - which has a huge deck with a hammock overlooking Mangrove Bight - a beautiful & quiet inlet. The high vaulted ceilings make the rooms incredibly bright & comfortable. Our studio had a small kitchen that was very simple, but after assessing what we had to work with - we were able to cook many many meals, make coffee every morning, and store groceries. This was important to us - and our beautiful deck was the perfect place to enjoy the home cooked meals.
We met many people staying "in town" while we were here who complained of the constant noise, party scene, loud & crowded spots. Posada las Orquideas was a little sanctuary away from the bustle. We fell asleep to the sounds of waves (not loud music or drunk tourists) and woke to birds chirping (not car horns blasting).
The room was cleaned daily by the sweetest and most accommodating housekeeper. The staff in the office were very helpful with all requests that we had - and Karolina was extremely attentive whenever we requested anything!
Added bonus: one of our favorite activities was taking the kayaks in town for a spin around beautiful Half Moon Bay...for FREE!
