Our rates include all water usage.

Most guests do not exceed this limit if air conditioning is used responsibly, and not left on day and night On the spacious deck you'll find sunbeds and a large dining table. The deck is located higher than the road and is surrounded by gorgeous landscaping, giving you a great deal of privacy. The apartment has a communal swimming pool which is just steps away. As such, since the pool is not directly in front of the apartment, you can enjoy a refreshing swim whenever you want, but not be bothered by other guests using the pool at other times. This pool is shared among only 12 apartments. There is also a somewhat bigger pool located right at the ocean's edge directly in front of the Papagayo Beach Hotel - a complex of white buildings about a 5 or 6 minute walk west of the apartment. This pool, along with the sun lounges beside the pool, is for the use of the guests of Papagayo Beach Hotel and Boca Gentil Resort at no cost. For children there is also a large walk-in salt water swimming pool located on the beach, right beside the ocean, just a few steps farther west of the Papagayo Beach Hotel pool. However, there is a small charge for renting the sun lounges in this area. The closest beach to the apartment is Jan Thiel beach which is about a 5 or 6 minute walk to the west of the apartment. The location is ideally suited for diving and snorkeling. There are also many restaurants and stores, two dive shops, car rental agencies, a spa and a casino along this beach. Beach access is free for Boca Gentil guests but there is a small charge for renting the sun lounges. Of the restaurants there, the Zanzibar is the most reasonably priced and has great food. Some of the other restaurants on Jan Thiel beach are a bit more pricey but provide a variety of culinary experiences. There is also a very casual and even more reasonably priced restaurant serving good local fish dishes among other things, called Brisa Do Mar (fondly referred to as Pop's Place) which is on Caracasbaai beach, about a 7 minute drive (30 minute walk) east of Boca Gentil. There is a modern, fully equipped gym and sauna about a 5 or 6 minute walk away. It is called The Challenge Sports & Health Club. There are usage charges for this facility. The gym offers daily, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly memberships. Near Jan Thiel there are also several bays, such as the Caracasbaai and Spanish Water. Here you will find activities such as sailing, windsurfing and kayaking, and for history buffs the enduring Fort Beekenburg (dating around 1703) and Quarantine Building (around 1883) representing the history of the area. In addition, Jan Thiel has a nature reserve with old salt pans. This area is a bird watcher's paradise, where you will regularly find flamingos, pelicans, parrots and many other species of tropical birds. The nature reserve is also ideally suited to running or mountain biking. Buggies and quads can also be rented for an adventurous trip. Guest access A dedicated parking spot is available for the apartment in the Bayside parking lot on the west side of the property. Look for spot number 2 - please be sure to park only in this designated space and avoid other numbered spots. The “No Parking” sign on garage number 2 does not apply to our guests, so no need to worry about it! Alternatively, you’re welcome to park on the street directly in front of the property, as long as traffic isn’t blocked. Other things to note For your safety, if you plan to swim in the ocean, we recommend wearing water shoes. Depending on where you enter, there may be rocks, coral, sea urchins, or other hazards that could cause injury. Additionally, it’s a good idea to bring mosquito repellent, especially depending on the season. If you’re coming from a country with different electrical standards, you may need converters or adapters. The apartment operates on 220V (not 110V), and the outlets are European-style with two round prongs (as opposed to the flat prongs typically found in North America). You’ll want to consider both the voltage and the physical shape of the plugs. Travel converters change the voltage from 220V to 110V, while adapters only modify the prong shape and do not convert voltage, so you’d still be using 220V. Adapters are cheaper but only suitable for electronics that can handle both 110V and 220V. Most modern phone chargers have built-in converters and can work with both voltages, but it’s always good to double-check your charger’s specifications. For your convenience, we have a converter and a North American-style 110V power strip available on the left side of the TV/stereo stand in the living room. However, if you already have converters/adapters or want to be extra cautious, bringing one or two wouldn’t hurt.
