We stayed at Pachamama Nov. 16-20. We were in the house which I highly recommend. The house has all natural wood and the doors & windows open up to the outdoors. The upstairs room has big wooden doors that open up to a deck/outdor sitting area. We kept the doors open all night long, and in the morning we all... More

Pachamama was a fantastic experience for my wife and I while traveling through the Nicoya Peninsula. The bungalow we rented was huge and complete with a safe, full kitchen, hammock, mosquito net, outdoor shower, and shady upstairs deck to escape the sun. The place was full of other bonuses like a beautiful built-in BBQ and private outdoor lounge, too. This... More

after two years of living and visiting all over Costa Rica, i found HOME! The safest, most tranquillo location i have been, Magical Mal Pais... inside Pachamama! Clean, safe, freedom to come and go as you please. The owern from Austria and the people working with him for over 8 years is like along lost cousin. They invite you with... More

This place is Amazing, we have traveled all over the world and this is the most friendly, accommodating and at home we have ever felt. Take my advice you won’t have a better time anywhere else. Frankie and Mara were the perfect hosts. It was the perfect getaway from our usually hectic life, surfing in the morning chilling in the... More

If you're going to Mal Pais then you'd be crazy not to stay here. We loved being here almost as much as being in Mal Pais. Franz is the best host you could find, maybe in all of Costa Rica. His recommendations for local eats never steered us wrong, and he knows all about the beach, whether surfing or boogie... More

Arrived at Pachamama and were immediately treated like long time friends even though this was our first trip. Franz the owner is the most wonderful host. We were provided with fresh fruit from the property several tes during our visit. The property is immaculately kept and the houses are spotless. There is no other place in Mal Pais that compares.

Our host, Franz, couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. Our house was casual but stunning and comfortable - very open. No bugs but adorable monkeys in the trees. Our 16 yo boys surfed every morning at 6 with Franz and every afternoon til they dropped. They had a lot of freedom and were always safe. Franz took us shopping... More

That was an awesome trip! Franz & Mara were great hosts!! And by the way very helpful! Both gave us great advices! Bungalows and rooms are very nice, the whole property is located in a great area, just one minute to the beach, 3 minutes to town... And by the way, Franz is a great surfer and gave us some... More

I met good ole Franz in 2004 and have been back to his lovely place 3 times. Anytime i get to spend febuary there i know i am blessed. Franz is the host with the most and leaving becomes the hardest thing to do. Like another famous Austrian says... 'I'll be back !' More
