‘ Ginger & Cacao” is perfectly located at just short walk to Punta Uva Beach, one of the most striking in Costa Rica. A rare place, still kept as natural as possible, with a minimum negative impact of over-development. Here is where the jungle meets the white sand beach with its emeralds waters, and the almond trees to provide a natural shade. It’s not crowded and it's safe for swimming, kayaking and snorkeling.
In Punta Uva one feels in complete connection with nature. There is nothing more beautiful than to get on a bicycle and go for an early morning ride to Gandoca- Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge. There is so much life and activity in the jungle at this time of the day. Howling monkeys call from the tree tops, butterflies, and birds flying around searching for food.
Punta Uva is a very private area, removed from the traffic and congestion in areas closer to Puerto Viejo. There are a few excellent restaurants, grocery stores, bike & tuk-tuk rentals. And if you choose, you can quickly get to Puerto Viejo, by car or bicycle.
At night, the action happens in Puerto Viejo. It might look a bit shabby, but give it some time and it will grow on you. The somewhat sleepy village turns vibrant at night, full of life and music, with the smell of food coming from all directions. Ocean-front bars blast reggae and calypso. Shops stay open till late hours.
“Ginger & Cacao” offers an exiting and safe place to stay in the middle of the jungle, and a fantastic opportunity for a memorable experience of the Caribbean Costa Rica.
Hope to see you soon!
