Pacific Edge Eco Lodge-Cabin 1 w/Ocean View & Pool

Be on the “edge of paradise” at Pacific Edge, an eco-friendly hotel, located 6 minutes south of Dominical. We are perched 675 feet above the breathtaking coastal white water surf line and a densely wooded rain forest alive with the cry of Howler Monkeys, toucans and the sound of the crashing surf below. Each cabin features a rustic open air concept with screened in windows and fresh mountain air breezes. It’s not just a place to sleep while you are on vacation, it’s a place to Simply BE. The space Come join us in our little paradise. We are living on site and we are happy to meet you. Pacific Edge has four private bungalows built alongside the edge of the mountain. Each open air, screened in cabin is outfitted with a King size bed, or more, depending on size, private bathroom, kitchenette, ceiling and floor fans, a private porch with chairs and a hammock as well as stunning ocean views! Recently upgraded mattresses & luxurious linens & towels throughout. Each kitchenette has a 2 burner cooktop, small fridge and coffee maker with complimentary Costa Rican coffee. Guests have full access to the property and can enjoy the pool, sunset platform, or hanging out in one of our two look out towers, while watching the hummingbirds, butterflies, parrots, toucans and of course many monkeys that love to visit through out the day at Pacific Edge. Our area is lush and green all year long and the mountains come right up to the ocean - so even though our road is 2 kilometres up the mountain, we are only 5 minutes from the nearest beach! There are many activities to fill your days... surfing, snorkelling, swimming in clear waterfall pools, zip lining, horseback riding, ATV tours, kayaking, birdwatching, national park tours, and lots more! Or you can just hang out by the pool, relax, and recharge! A 4x4 vehicle is required. Contact us BEFORE making a car rental reservation! We have an agreement with a trusted agency that gives guests of Pacific Edge a discount off of posted rates, but only if you book through us. Guest access: Guests enjoy their own cabina that includes almost 500 sq ft of space including their own 160 sq ft covered patio with kitchenette. The pool is available to all guests until 9pm. Other things to note: Cabina 1 is a maximum occupancy of 3 people, Cabinas 2 & 3 is a maximum occupancy of 4 people and Cabin 4 is a maximum of 6. We ask that there are no children under 13 as we are located on the edge of a mountain and we want to maintain the tranquility and calmness for our guests. With that being said, we do make exceptions to this rule so please inquire with us before booking. We are available to host small weddings, events, and yoga / wellness retreats, so please inquire if interested. (Profits with Purpose. We believe in giving back so a portion of all proceeds from our Art gallery will benefit several local charities of your choosing.) We look forward to meeting you in the jungle and helping you create your ideal Costa Rican vacation! Costa Rica charges a 13% hotel tax on all bookings. Tax is not included and will need to collect this during check out. Airbnb doesn’t allow us to add this to our listing. If you have any questions please let us know in advance. Thank you! Guest access Guests have full access to the property and can enjoy the pool, sunset platform, or hanging out in one of our two look out towers, while watching the hummingbirds, butterflies, parrots, toucans and of course many monkeys that love to visit through out the day at Pacific Edge. Other things to note We have gathered a bit of information for you below, before you arrive. We hope that this helps to answer a few of our most common questions. We kindly ask that you please take the time to read this, so that you know well our policies in advance. Children under 12 are not allowed at this time. We are a very tranquil and quiet hotel and we need respect all of our guests privacy so that you all may enjoy the peace and solitude of your jungle surroundings. Having young children disrupts this tranquility and as much as we love them, it was a decision we felt we needed to uphold moving into 2022. If you choose to book all of the rooms for a special event ie: family / friends reunion, wedding etc. then they will be allowed on case by case basis. Unfortunately there are too many areas that young children could be injured as we are built on the top of a natural mountain ridge. If you do book out the entire property for your event, family reunion, children need to have adult supervision at all times. Check In: Our check in time time is between 3:00pm-6pm. If we have availability you may be able to check in earlier, but we most likely won’t know until the day of check in. Late check-ins can be made up until 8pm and will incur a late fee. We will have to make someone available to check you in, so we will need to know in advance your check in time or to help you make other arrangements. Check out is between 9:00-9:30am. Likewise, if we don’t have other guests checking in that day, you may be able to extend your checkout time. Late check outs may incur an additional fee. Please ask us in advance and we will do our best to accommodate you. Air Travel: If you have not already booked your air travel and if you are wanting to stay with us on your arrival date, please consider booking a flight that arrives no later than 3pm. It will take you 3 plus hours to get to us from the airport on a good travel day (regardless of what the google map says) and depending on several factors, (ie: how long you will be in customs, how long it takes you to pick up your rental car, etc.) you might not make it here until well after dark. Sunset is around 5:35-5:55 year round (we do not observe Daylight savings time) so it can be intimidating and very tiresome while driving during that time. If you are traveling to us during rainy season or if their are very slow trucks or traffic on your way, it could take your considerably longer to arrive. Our latest check in is 8pm as we close down the Rancho and common areas. Under certain extreme situations you may check in at a later time, but this needs to be communicated to us directly as soon as possible, since no one will be available after 8pm. In case you didn’t realize, we are a small, family-run, Bed & Breakfast and not a typical hotel chain. So there isn’t staff here to check you in at all hours of the night. Also if we have to check guests in after 8pm, that could disturb our other guests and the tranquil vibe of the property. Of course, if you are here earlier you will catch the most amazing sunset around! It is the best time to start to relax and to “Simply Be”. So we kindly ask that everyone do their very best to get here within the allotted check in time. We certainly like to accommodate everyone, so communication is key in order to help us to do our part in helping you. If you ARE arriving in San Jose at a later time and you do not wish to drive all of this way in one day, we do have recommendations for you. We can recommend nearby hotels that are closer to the airport or only an hour south of San Jose in the Jaco/ Playa Hermosa area. If you are renting from our rental car partner, Vamos Rental Car, they can also offer discounted room rates next to the airport & rental agency. Please email us and we will be glad to recommend other accommodations for you for your first nights stay before you head our way. Car Rental: If you haven’t booked your transportation yet we recommended Vamos Car Rental. We have used them for 10 years and we trust they will serve you well. They have the best and most competitive rates around and if you mention you are staying with us at Pacific Edge Eco Lodge, you will receive a discount. We do highly recommend a 4x4 car during your stay. Not only to access our road (we are 1.25 km up the mountain) but many of the other restaurants and excursions in the area as well. If you want to explore, you need a 4x4. Each cabin is a rustic open air concept with screened in windows and fresh mountain air breezes blowing through your room. Each cabin is also equipped with ceiling and floor fans in case you need them. Most guests don’t even turn them on, as it does become chilly in the mornings / evenings, making for perfect sleeping weather. Each cabin has its own bathroom and hot water showers. Each room has its own towels for your personal use inside the cabin and we offer separate pool/beach towels in the Rancho / Common area. We do not have local toiletries (Shampoo/Conditioner / Shower Soap) at this time so keep that in mind when traveling with us. We hope to offer this in the near future. Cabin 1-3 has its own small kitchen with its own small refrigerator and Cabin 4 has a full kitchen and two bathrooms. All cabins have an covered porch with hammock and seating areas. The rooms include a toaster, cooktop and coffee maker with complimentary Costa Rican coffee and sugar. Each kitchen has all the utensils you need for cooking your own meals, if you choose to do so. There are a couple of grocery stores nearby if you would like to purchase your own food while staying with us. If not, we have several restaurant recommendations in the area that we would be happy to share with you. Excursions/ Wellness: If you are interested in yoga, massage, hiking, waterfalls, surfing, river boat tours, beaches, national parks, zip-lining or kayaking, please email us or message us directly. We will gladly help book these tours for you. We are sincerely glad to help you with any questions you may have before your vacation with us. So please feel free to reach out to us at the above contact information at any time. We look forward to hosting you all soon! Michaelynn and Sid Vandiver Owners at Pacific Edge Eco Lodge
