Casa Laureles, very close to Playa San Miguel, is an ideal place to recharge your batteries after a tour in Costa Rica. The room facilities correspond to CH standard. We produce our own electricity and thanks to a battery backup, we are independent from the power grid for a few hours and it has sufficient hot water at all times. The water in the 4 x 10 meter swimming pool is ionised and an ozone Installation kills all bacterias. We only use very little chlorine. If you are looking for a quiet place, you are right here. Our house is located in the middle of the jungle and yet not completely secluded. The Playa San Miguel, with a few kilometers long sandy beach (one of the most beautiful in CR) can be reached by car in about 5 minutes. Pueblo Nuevo is about 1 hour drive south of Samara, Carmona or Jicaral. The travel time to Santa Teresa is about 90 minutes. There is a bus service from Pueblo Nuevo via Jicaral to San José. Also, it has a small shop and 2 restaurants in Pueblo Nuevo. Near by there are more, some very good, restaurants. The streets in this part of Guanacaste are not paved and it is therefore advisable to rent a 4x4 car. Driving in the dark is not recommended because you never know what is to be found on the road after the next corner. Breakfast is not included in the room rate, as not all guests want to use this service. Breakfast is USD 9 per person and includes: - daily freshly baked bread - homemade jam - freshly squeezed fruit juice - fresh fruits depending on the season - eggs cooked to order - coffee, tea or chocolate - (For a longer stay we also make muesli for a Change)
