We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mundo Milo Eco Lodge. It is definitely off the beaten path, but well worth the drive. If you are looking for peace and quiet, want to get away from the tour group crowds, and be near the beach, then this is your place.
The owners and staff make your stay extra special, and you are treated as if you're part of the family. Rooms were spacious, modern, and comfortable. We had A/C, a large fan, and a mini-fridge, as well as some dishes, silverware, and glasses, should we need them. The bathroom was large and very modern.
The restaurant on site was excellent! Lieke and her staff offer an excellent selection of dishes and can accommodate meals to meet your dietary needs. They also have a very tasty Sushi Night on Tuesdays. A copious breakfast was also served every morning, which included fresh fruit, homemade yogurt, juice, tea, coffee, bread, eggs, gallo pinto (Costa Rican rice & beans), etc.
You can walk to the beach in about five minutes. It's very secluded and you won't see many people on the beach. You can also walk to other beaches during low tide for good swimming and snorkeling.
Lieke and Michiel were extremely knowledgeable about the area and were extremely helpful in giving advice, directions, etc. Because their lodge has just five units, they are able to cater to to the needs of their guests. This is a hidden gem and well worth the drive.
