    The fantastic location adjacent to the beach meant that we could hear the sound of the waves as we fell asleep and as we awoke in the morning. The sunrise and sunset seen from the beach were very special. We had regular visits from a group of...

    Right on the beach but easy living so your tents not full of sand. Quiet, safe parking, little shop and 2 restaurants nearby, great breakfast, very friendly, helpful staff. Sloths and monkeys right outside our door. I walked a mile & a half down...

    Absolutely loved Rafiki. Amazing setting, lovely accommodation and friendly and welcoming staff. We saw sloths and we're visited for 2 hours by about 20 crazy monkeys. A great experience. Thanks to everyone x

    Amazing location and staff. No air-con but fan inside tent - plus a huge private bathroom. Big pool for the kids and an endless beach - pretty much for yourself!

    Großartig! Luxuszelt direkt am Meer. Das Badezimmer ist gefliest, groß und luxuriös. In dem Zelt hat man das Gefühl direkt am Strand zu schlafen. Die Stimmung ist sehr ruhig und der Strand menschenleer. Frühstück ist super!

Rafiki Beach Camp is a family run bed and Breakfast. The owner comes from South Africa where luxury tents camps were founded. The idea of camping on the beach is amazing, especially with hot water showers, hotel beds, tile floors, and an awesome pool!
Lautjie is a Biologist and avid outdoor enthusiast. He leads tours on property as well as Rafiki Safari Lodge. Mauren is a local "tica". She loves gardening, and loves taking care of guests and her 2 lovely children. Noah and Acacia.
Matapalo Beach is one of the last "diamonds in the rough" of Costa Rica. Miraculously development has passed by this area, leaving wild beaches that stretch for miles without single person on them. Just 30 minutes from Manuel Antonio or Marino Ballena National Park, Matapalo is a perfect staging point for all of the adventures of the central pacific coast of Costa Rica.
