Tucked within a lush tropical garden alive with butterflies, exotic birds, and the playful rustle of monkeys in the canopy, Congo Coastal offers a stay where nature greets you at your doorstep—sometimes quite literally. Our resident coati, a curious little forest friend, stops by each morning for his breakfast before disappearing back into the jungle. Just steps from the quiet, soul-soothing beach of Mal Pais, our bungalows and homes sit in a pocket of Costa Rica where time seems to slow. At low tide, tide pools shimmer like tiny ocean worlds—perfect for slipping into and relaxing as the Pacific breathes gently in and out. Mal Pais is a haven for travelers who crave sun, surf, wild beauty, and a deeper connection to nature. Here, you’re only 1 km from Cabo Blanco Natural Reserve—the first national park ever established in Costa Rica—where dense forest, wildlife, and untouched coastline create a sanctuary unlike anywhere else. And just 1 km in the other direction, Playa Carmen and Santa Teresa welcome you with world-class surf, vibrant local culture, and golden sunsets. Our corner of Mal Pais is intentionally quiet, offering the rare balance of serenity and access—close to everything, yet peacefully removed.
