The Jungle
Whether cooking, sipping a drink in the lounge or hammocks, or dining on the deck, the sounds and sights of the tropical forest are ever available for your delight. Each morning you might wake to the early call of the howler monkey, sharp barks of the white-faced capuchin, or high squeaks of the squirrel monkeys as they make their daily troops through the surrounding trees. Breakfast will often be shared with long yellow-beaked toucans that search for the bananas that sprout around the house. Many afternoons, red, green, and blue tri-colored macaws will stand one footed on the branches of the almond tree as they crack the nuts.
Outside the gates of Casa Bella, less than a two minute’s stroll down a tree-shaded lane, lies one of Costa Rica’s most pristine and secluded beaches. You can walk for miles along its quiet shore and stop to refresh at one of the exclusive restaurants that dot the way. Here you can bake in the warm sands of the Gulfo Dulce as the world stands still here.
The Town
- Puerto Jimenez Casa Bella is a mere ten minute taxi or twenty minute bike ride to town. Here you can find a supermarket, fresh fruit and vegetable stands, local bars, delightful restaurants overlooking the beach, internet cafe’s, and much more.
