Ola Mar (Casa Titi) Cabo Matapalo, Costa Rica found on AirBnB.com
We will never forget our experiences in this jungle cabin in Cabo Matapalo – solar power, a septic system and water from a well.
Costa Rican coffee made the old fashioned way – slow drip
Weak wifi signal at the cabin, so we had to go to the main house to get any work done.
