Tiskita Private Reserve and Hotel A combination of
exotic fruit station and biological reserve, it is perched on the
lush hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean. An abundance of birds -green
parrots, falcons, tanagers, and toucans- are regularly seen going
about their business. In the mornings and evenings, a troupe of spider
monkeys comes and goes from their sleep hideaways near the open-air
bungalows.

Lodge Rooms |
Each
room has a comfortable queen-sized bed or two twins, a ceiling fan,
bedside tables, armoires and a private bathroom. Most of these bathrooms
are actually outdoors (although with plenty of protection and privacy),
allowing you the unique and delightful experience of enjoying the
spectacular sights and proximity of our jungle while you shower, shave
and brush your teeth.
All of the rooms feature broad verandahs with sweeping panoramic views
of the Pacific Ocean and Osa Peninsula. These verandahs are thoughtfully
equipped with both comfortable sitting chairs and even more comfortable
string hammocks. |

& More |
Meals are
served in our large main dining room, which is open to the fresh ocean
breezes and just steps away from our fabulous views. Our cooks prepare
a variety of hearty Costa Rican dishes, with an emphasis on our fresh,
homegrown fruits and vegetables, as well as locally raised beef and
poultry, and, of course, fish fresh from the nearby Pacific Ocean.

Tide Pools |
Rocks
exposed along the beach edge, during low tide, at first appear to
be lifeless compared to the colorful tidepools of more temperate
coasts.
However, a closer look will reveal a variety if interesting life
forms. Organisms must be well adapted to live here as their environment
changes radically with the tides. Some organisms are fully expose<tre
others remain in isolated pools.
High tide again bathe the rocks in cool water but now the powerful
surf must be contended with... some animals are easily visible while
others require some searching remember to replace any rocks you
turn over!
