Hotel La Tranquilidad is a beachfront vacation rental hotel on the Central Pacific Coast island of Palo Seco at Parrita, between Jaco and Quepos/Manuel Antonio. This tropical island paradise features fine sand, calming surf, gentle breezes, and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. The beach is wonderful for fishing, surfing, swimming, sunbathing, biking, walking, shelling, or just chilling in a hammock. There is boat access to the estuary at the back of Hotel La Tranquilidad. Snook and red snapper abound in the estuary waters, and the ancient mangrove trees provide many ecotour opportunities. With the backdrop of huge mountains which are only 30 minutes away, this is a view to cherish. Enjoy the quiet, relaxing character of Costa Rica's natural environment at Hotel La Tranquilidad. The vacation rental retreat is gated and surrounded by a white rail fence with green diamonds. The onsite caretaker and the night guard maintain the security of the property. Each cabina is a large hotel room with hot water in the private bath, tile flooring, air conditioning, ceiling fan, and covered tile porch with hammock. One cabina has 1 double bed. The other two cabinas have 2 double beds and 2 single beds, bunked. The fully-equipped kitchen and open-air dining terraza are located in an adjacent building.

In addition, a house, Casa Tranquila, has a double bed and 2 single beds in the bedroom, plus 2 single beds, bunked, in the sunroom. It has hot water shower, 1 1/2 baths, tile flooring, air conditioning, ceiling fans, automatic washer, and fully-equipped private kitchen. It is available for daily, weekly, or monthly rentals, or it can be combined with the cabinas for a total capacity of 20.

For the adventurous there is much to see and do beyond the tranquility of the cabinas. Manual Antonio National Park is about 40 minutes south. Adjacent to the park is Quepos, an oceanfront city with nightlife, a small airport, and a hospital. Jaco, about 40 minutes north, is known for its nightlife and surfing beach. Sportfishing, mangrove tours, canopy tours, horseback riding, 4 wheeler tours, white water rafting, paramotoring, kayaking, and more are available nearby. Mountains and rain forests are waiting to be explored. Endangered giant sea turtles come ashore to lay their eggs every year at Palo Seco. The onsite property manager is there to advise and arrange tours of all kinds for guests.

For the most immediate needs, the bustling town of Parrita is only a 10 minute drive from the cabinas. Parrita has banks, supermarkets, restaurants, shopping, and a medical clinic. There are taxis, and bus service to Quepos, Jaco, and San Jose. Parrita hasn't become a tourist town yet, but retains the character and charm of small-town Costa Rica. Credit for this belongs to the wonderful, friendly, and helpful people of the community. They truly live PURA VIDA!
