A Slice of Heaven!

I have stayed at CMG several times in recent years, and cannot wait to return this Labor Day!
The location is flawless: a secluded beach that is a leatherback turtle sanctuary as well as having several surf breaks, while only a short drive/water taxi/estuary swim away from Tamarindo and the night life it offers. There are great beach walks and hiking from the estate's private rear beach access, if you can pull yourself away from the private pool and sun deck. Cantarana across the street is amazing for dinners, Bula Bula for "Siberian" frozen drinks after a hot day, and the best pizza in Costa is right down the road.
we played foose in our own personal bar, surfed with the boards and kayaks provided, and the caretakers were amazing. catering in a dinner with the seafood caught day-of is a must, as well as a massage or yoga lesson on the property to get as luxurious as possible. the location is also perfect for day trips to golf, surf breaks like Playa Havanas or Nosara, as well as Monte Verde (zip lining through the rain forest) and Arenal (to see the active volcano).
a perfect blend of rustic and regal!
