This lovely B & B sits on top of a hill overlooking the Pacific Coast and Carara National Park. We were expecting to see many birds but not many appeared while we were there. If Claudine put out a bird feeder I'm sure they would come in their 100's as happened in previous places we stayed. We had the air conditioned room with the small plunge pool out the front and there was a large swimming pool in the garden at the bottom of the hill which was very much appreciated at the end of a hot day. Claudine's breakfast was European style and delicious - a nice change from the usual Costa Rican breakfasts.

Beautiful!
It would be perfect if the bedroom was had air conditioning. A very pleasant place and a beautiful view.

A little bit of paradise.
We stayed in the larger guest house at Rancho Capulin and had a wonderful time. Claudine and her family could not have been nicer. She arranged for tickets on Jose's Crocodile/Mangrove tour which was great. The accommodations were perfect. The pool was wonderful and the location was lovely. Birding around the property in the morning was great. We also went to Carara National Park which is just a few minutes away and saw a number of scarlet macaws (although from a distance). I would not call Tarcoles a birding 'hot spot' but the area and the Rancho are perfect for a laid back vacation on the Pacific coast.
Excellent birding might be possible with a little pre-planning. We just wanted a chance to see the Pacific before going to more famous birding locations.
Oh yes, the breakfast was also excellent.

einfach nur super
Nach einer sehr guten Routenbeschreibung der Gastgeberin Claudine kamen wir vormittags an der Unterkunft an. Die Gastgeber (Luxemburgerin und Franzose) haben ihr Haus in einer Traumlage (mit Blick ins Tal) gebaut. Zur vermieten Unterkunft gelangt man über 70 Treppenstufen. Man ist somit für sich ganz allein und hat den Pool direkt vor der Nase. Claudine bereitet jeden Morgen ein leckeres Frühstück mit Crepes, frischem Obst, Brot, Marmelade etc. und auch ansonsten steht sie mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Wenn man will, hat man die Möglichkeit in einer kleinen Außenküche zu kochen, was wir jedoch nicht genutzt haben, da es in der näheren Umgebung einige Sodas (Lokale der Einheimischen mit typischer Costa-Rica Küche) gibt, wo man relativ günstig und sehr lecker speisen kann.
