Nereus is one of those places I should be gatekeeping.
Pros:

Nereus is an amazing architecturally appealing small retreat. Stuart and Jen are not only kind and willing to book tours and taxis but also intuitive about offering the perfect amount of interaction. The food is divine and plentiful. The location is ideal - tucked off the sprawling beach that looks out over the Golfo Dulce. A dreamy place to escape.

Détente à Puerto Jiménez
Pros:

Logement propice à la farniente entre deux randonnées, la plage est à proximité.
Une atmosphère conviviale se dégage des hôtes, ils sont disponibles et arrangeants.
Très bon rapport qualité prix pour le repas du soir ou un buffet pleins de spécialités nous ai proposé.
Le petit déjeuner est également super bon.

Cons:

I would come back every time I could, it’s excellent
Pros:

The place has a super chill and quiet vibe, excellent for a good rest and peaceful vacation.
The service is really good, the food is incredible and different.
We didn’t have the time to do yoga or surf which are activities offered at the place, but it has everything you need.
Stuart is an excellent host.

Cons:

The room was really big and comfortable, the bathroom had a bidet and it had a terrace.
Unluckily, the terrace and the view of the room was interrupted by the stairs of the room upstairs which really affected privacy as the neighbors who walked by could see inside the room if you hadn’t drawn the curtains.

Great jungle and beach retreat!
Pros:

It's a beautiful remote property, with lovely hosts that run this less like a hotel and more like a bed and breakfast. The meals were delicious, and guests can sit and eat community style, which we loved. We did yoga in the morning with the hostess as much as we could, and really enjoyed that as well. One of the best locations we've been to!

Lo que buscabamos
Pros:

El lugar tiene una excelente ubicación y la salida directa a la playa le da el plus a la estancia. Los desayunos y cenas son deliciosos y saludables y la atención del personal es excelente. La naturaleza está por doquier, aves, monos, peces, hasta delfines, simplemente hermoso.
Solo puedo decir que lo recomiendo 100%.

Schöner Ort um die Seele baumeln zu lassen!

Schöne Zimmer und Außenanlage, Weg direkt zum Strand, sehr ruhig, Möglichkeit direkt in der Unterkunft am Abend zu essen, viele Vögel und Schmetterlinge in und um Nereus

Cons:

Gravelroad in sehr schlechtem Zustand (Zeitpunkt Ende November 2025), bei Eigenanreise ist ein SUV notwendig!
