  
Who?
Lucie was
born in
France and grew up in Tahiti,
then she went study biology
and massage in Quebec.
She settled down in Costa Rica in 2002.
Loving this wild part of the
country she decided to share its unknown beauty by creating a unique
lodge to
accommodate visitors.
She will receive you in La Sandia
("watermelon"), simple and cute
house with 2 double bed cabinas and 2 bunked bed cabinas with
private bathroom.
You will discover the real Pura Vida life style.
(Yes!!! there is
really no one on the beaches!!!)

 Where? 
In
the North-West of Costa Rica.
Surrounded by National Parks,
this part of Guanacaste is quite
undeveloped,
which adds to its charm and will be a perfect destination
for
those who seek rest and tranquillity.
Far from the crowd you will find
activities as intense than
interesting:
Kite Surf and Windsurf
in Playa
Copal, (guaranteed 20 knots sideshore wind)
Fishing and Scuba diving
in the
virgins waters of Bahia Salinas,
Horse back riding
in
the forest or on the
beaches of Bahia Salinas.
La Sandia
is located in the heart of Bahia Salinas,
70km from Liberia, international airport,
9km from La Cruz, the nearest village
(groceries,
banks, mail office, gas station, Internet cafe… etc...),
8km from several beautiful white sand beaches,
5km from Playa Copal, the kite beach.
We
are on a property of 4 acres guarded by
Cutes Germans Shepherds
