Eladio's place is located in possibly the perfect spot for visiting Guanacaste National Parks. In 4 days we visited Palo Verde (45 mins away), Rincon de la Vieja (30 mins), Lomas Barbudal (DON'T miss this! 30 mins) and Santa Rosa (25 mins). It's right on the Interamerican Highway, but it's surprisingly quiet and the accommodations are just right if simple. It's also only 15 minutes from Liberia so it's easy to pop in for dinner or shopping. We stayed in the Palma Real cottage which is two bedrooms with a small sitting area and a full kitchen. Clean and comfortable and even has hot water if you want it. The property is shady and has a nice big clean pool. Eladio himself is a very special guy. He works extremely hard for his guests and is committed to great experiences. He has a hilarious, outgoing personality and is fun to spend time with. Being very familiar with Costa Rican wildlife ourselves, our main goal was to go with someone who knew special spots and could get us there. In other words we didn't need a "biologist guide" as much as an "insider" who knows all the best places. Eladio did not disappoint - he took us to some truly out of the way places around Palo Verde, Lomas Barbudal and Santa Rosa. As a result we saw a prehensile tailed anteater, coatis, jabiru storks, roseate spoonbills and spectacled owls, along with crocodiles and other assorted reptiles. Eladio's offers a unique niche - knowledge of the area plus a nearly ideal location and sturdy transportation. If you are a good birder or wildlife watcher already he'll get you to where you need to go. And if you are just experiencing the wildlife of Costa Rica for the first time it will be fun too. And although we aren't surfers, he apparently offers a killer surf experience overland to Witch's Rock. Surfing is his primary passion. We were impressed with how hard he has worked - and continues to work - to give his guests a special experience. Recommended very highly.
