Latitude 10 Resort

Press Reviews

The Tico Times, November 2009
"Hidden among a thick tropical veil, five private casitas that are entirely open to the outside elements are connected by winding stone paths. Although the rooms are wall-less and guests are surrounded by woods, everything from the high-thread-count sheets to the banana-iced French toast served for breakfast spells luxury. The casitas are constructed entirely of dark almond wood and decorated with locally crafted furniture; in lieu of windows, shades drop down at night. The bathrooms, accented with intricate tile work, are full rooms in themselves...The beach itself offers a stunning backdrop, and guests often might find themselves alone on white sands licked by the waves of the mighty Pacific."

Outside's Go Magazine, March 2008
"With no signage for the property anywhere to be seen, finding Latitude 10 feels like stumbling on a secret treasure buried in the jungle...The architect, William Hezmalhalch, spent days poring over maps and standing atop ladders above the canopy in search of clearings large enough for casitas. In one case, they built a roof around a tree instead of cutting it down. And the kitchen and bar were shrunk to save a stand of almond trees. The dense jungle helps keep each of the five casitas private. The open-air buildings have neither windowpanes (save for a little stained glass) nor air-conditioning. And in some cases the walls of the private outdoor bathrooms are nothing more than a thicket of jungle green - guests can shower while watching monkeys and iguanas climb the trees above."

• “This place was exactly as described on the i-escape website. It was a great place to go in rainy reason as you can feel as if you are outside in the room without getting wet when it rains. The hotel was very accommodating of the fact that our travel was delayed because of a hurricane in the US. We had personal attention but were left alone to enjoy our honeymoon. Everything was perfect.
  
  The only request is to have more planes to/from Tambor as we had to spend a whole day getting back to San Jose by car. Maybe the new ferry will help that.”
