A Memorable Trip
The trip from Puerto Jimenez (12 miles or a 45 minutes drive) to Tres Palmas was like a fairly tale drive through thick tropical forest and lush vegetation running down from the mountains and touching the ocean to our left. Birds and wildlife were abundant, but there was a noticeable lack of traffic, road signs, power lines and people. Perfect!
Along the way we quartered the Gulfo Dulce and at times came to open cattle pastures with majestic views of tubing waves breaking at point breaks in the distance.
Once we reached the entrance to Tres Palmas the fun really began! The drive up and down the 1 mile road was steep and exciting! The size of the trees towering all around us was incredible and we could hear and see howling monkeys. My immediate thoughts were, “We've found paradise!” But the best was yet to come. The Tres Palmas property overlooks Cabo Matapalo. The vista is downright breathtaking. I've never witnessed a more moving perspective in all of Costa Rica!
The amazing thing about this area is that there are so many amazing things to do and see. Within a walking distance you can experience world class surfing, hiking, wildlife, beach combing, fishing and much more.
The accommodations and food were all 5 star class.
This was my fifth multi-week trip to Costa Rica and hands down because of our visit to Tres Palmas it will be always the most memorable and exciting.

Enjoy the Get Away of a lifetime! If you want to get away from it all, and have a vacation like non-other Tres Palmas is the answer. Experience the jungles, beaches, the adventures of hiking to the waterfalls, repel down a 100 foot wall with the waterfall next to you, or just playing in the pool of water at the base of the falls. Hike through the jungle to the beautiful beaches, enjoy swimming, surfing or bring your boogie board. If that doesn't suit you, take a hike to the tide pools.
We spend part of our day lying by the pool and enjoying the peace and quiet, and the beauty of this 5 star Tres Palmas Resort. Watching the monkeys swing in the trees as they pass the house, or come down to pick a banana off a nearby tree. Tucan's and Macaw's (flying in flocks) or perched in a tree as your floating in the pool.
The 25 acres of land that Tres Palmas is located on offers you privacy and gives you the opportunity to truly experience the outdoors and the beautiful jungle of Costa Rica at it's finest. We loved getting away from the rat race of everyday living. You find yourself having time for just yourselves. We always feel so renewed and much healthier after a week, two, three even four of staying at this beautiful place. Yet if you have the need for a reality check the little town of Puerto Jimenez is just a short drive away.
Tres Palmas is the place for the person that likes adventure, great hiking experiences, and wants to take in a little heaven on earth.
We have visited Tres Palmas approximately 6 times; we try to go at least once a year usually after the New Year. The weather is beautiful (80's) with a wonderful ocean breeze. The best news of all is that you can pack your suntan lotion and leave your BUG SPRAY at home.
On a scale of 1 to 10, we personally give Tres Palmas a 10. I promise you that the moment you step out of your car you will be Wowed by it's beauty. It is truly a 5-Star experience in every way.
We'll be back! Thank you so very much to our dear friends at Tres Palmas.
