Leafy floral arrangements accentuate side tables. Beds, all canopied with mosquito nets, are topped with earth-hued green and brown sheets as well as one flannel blanket. Interiors are individually designed with polished wood plank walls, branch window decor, and tree stump tabletops bearing their natural curves.

Each space is crafted to mimic the natural surroundings it's housed in. Hotel La Costa de Papito is comprised of a budget cabin and 12 private bungalows with garden views. At a certain hour, the bar and festivities shut down so that tranquility can be restored and the sounds of breeze and jungle critters are the soundtrack for the night. Weekly calypso bands, aerial ribbon dancers, and Caribbean barbecues open to both guests and outsiders bring a welcome liveliness to the space.

However, when entering the huge main rancho complex - which contains the front desk area, the bar and breakfast counter, the restaurant, a pool table, small lounge area, and public restrooms - for evening meals, the energy pleasantly shifts. Thick, high greenery borders long paved and unpaved walkways and creates distance between living spaces, guaranteeing privacy. Since the hotel is only comprised of 12 bungalows and a budget cabin, it isn't a daytime hub of busy activity. Don't be fooled by Hotel La Costa de Papito's seemingly quiet ambience and extensive jungle grounds the intimate, family-owned hotel is known for adequately balancing peace and quiet with quality evening entertainment.
