10 Days was not enough in this piece of Paradise!

Review Submitted: October 9, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
We didn't go to the Osa for the fishing, restaurants, hiking, or sightseeing. We needed a place to unwind from a hectic pace and just relax...Rancho Picaso was the ultimate destressor. Have you forgotten what the wind sounds like rustling through the palms? The sound of the surf on a gentle role or during a high tide storm? How long has it been since you've traded rush hour traffic for the sound of a birds' wings in flight? Have you ever seen monkeys traverse the canopy above a path leading to the beach?

The natural beauty of the foliage is brilliant, awe inspiring, and can be viewed from any room in Rancho Picaso. The proprietor was knowledgeable of the surrounding areas and made us feel as welcomed as family in this awesome home. The accomodations were comfortable, clean, and well maintained.

The best thing about Rancho Picaso is that you can just do nothing or you can do anything you want: perfect for a first or second honeymoon, and enough activities to keep the whole family on the go for more than a week! We'll be going back next year as tourist and have invited friends to share the experience of the beautiful Osa Pensisula.
