The Casa De Campo in Pedasi feels like a "petit" Grand Hotel of the old times where you can still enjoy the priceless comfort of shady calm space under a big mango tree and spacious beautifully decorated shady and cool halls where you can read a book or have a good conversation with the lovely and interesting owners (there are also hammocks available). The hotel is in walking distance to the town center with all the growing number of restaurants and bars, including international ones run by expats. The Spanish-style building with courtyard is situated in a quiet and luscious green space. The pool is always warm and we could not get our daughter out of it. Breakfast was included for us, served in the shade and a real treat. My beach tip: Arenal beach (5 minutes by car) is miles-long, the water is warm, the waves are shallow, and there is literally nobody except a few friendly fishermen. The landscape of rolling hills reminded me of the Toscana in Italy. No mosquitoes during the dry season. Enjoy, we still cannot forget the dream time we had.
