Another interesting property at TreeHouse Point is the Temple of the Blue Moon. To enter this tree house is an adventure – you walk across the famous swinging bridge!

Hotel Costa Verde
This one-of-a-kind hotel is only 3 miles from the village of Quepos, making this Costa Rica ecohotel a perfect place to escape to for some peace and quiet. Hotel Costa Verde is on a coastal rainforest bluff settled between Manuel Antonio National Park and the coastal Pacific Ocean, giving you incredible views of the surrounding areas. Each room offers a bird’s eye view of the coastal Pacific Ocean or overlooks the rainforest canopy – feast your eyes while you make friends with sloths, monkeys, and toucans.

One of the hotel’s quirky experiences is the 727 Fuselage – the most exclusive hotel suite in Costa Rica. This is refurbished vintage 1965 Boeing 727 airframe, perched among the trees – the feeling that you’re almost flying is surreal! Settled on the edge of the National Park, it sits on a 50-foot pedestal, allowing you 360-degree views of the jungle and the coastline. From the 727 fuselage home, Cockpit Cottage and C-123 plane at El Avión, to the train cars at La Cantina & El Wagon Restaurants to the “Queen” Banana Boat Tender, Costa Verde has taken abandoned things destined for the scrap heap and turned them into beautiful and useful attractions that amaze, educate and create new value. This takes recycling to a whole new level!

Punta Uva is considered as one of the best beaches in the country and with your own beach access and 300 meter beach front, this is definitely a romantic getaway! The treehouse stands on tall stilts and blends into the surrounding forest. A cool suspended bridge leads to the treehouse’s entrance. All of the furniture in the tree house is hand carved and there are no glass windows, however, there are screens to prevent bugs from getting in.
