Coco Flotante was a private oasis and the perfect size for our family of 8. We loved how secluded the house was, and enjoyed having a private pool and beach access steps from our door. While getting there was tricky (make sure to plug in "Coco Flotante" into your Google Maps or Waze and remember there aren't addresses!), once we did, the caretaker greeted us with open arms. The caretakers live right next door, and are just a door knock away if you need anything. There isn't much to do in the town of Playa Junquillal itself, but we found renting a car and driving to different surrounding locations/excursions (i.e. Playa Negra and Tamarindo) worked great for us. The house itself is perfect for a day in, sunbathing by the pool, and enjoying the views. Remember that you're tucked away in the jungle, so there will be critters - crabs and toads frequently ran through the outdoor deck, and the howler monkeys were active at night. And be sure to bring bug spray (and lots of it!). We liked that there were AC units in almost every room - you definitely need those on during the night. The filtered water unit did not work for us, so we just bought large jugs for the entirety of the trip. If you get the chance, try out one of the local spots nearby for some authentic Costa Rican food (we recommended Lochito's, it's right down the street!). And finally, the sunsets were like none we've ever seen before. We watched them every night, and was an unforgettable experience!
