Question 1

How do I arrange tours and other activities? Do I need to do it in advance?

Accepted Answer

While a few tours - like Corcovado National Park - require 24-hour advance notice, most are very easy to set up once you get here.   When you arrive, please meet with us to talk about your plans and preferences. We'll help identify activities that are for kids or are family-friendly; that may be physically demanding or require experience; or have other factors that will help you decide if they are a good fit.    And, while we are very happy to offer complimentary help with your plans, please bring cash; you'll pay your guides, drivers and other providers directly.

Question 2

Is there electricity? Can I charge my laptop, or plug in a hair dryer?"

Accepted Answer

Ojo del Mar is 100% “off the grid” -- all our power comes from the sun, and we use solar lights and firelight for illumination. We carefully monitor our power production and consumption, and do not offer air conditioning, telephones, or televisions.   For the proper functioning of our energy system, we ask our guests to refrain from the use of high-consuming electronics such as laptops, hair dryers, electric toothbrushes, irons and the like. ​ We are happy to charge your camera, as well as smartphones and other mobile devices like iPads or Kindles.

Question 3

Is there WiFi?

Accepted Answer

At Ojo del Mar, there is WiFi in our Casa Grande, but not in the individual rooms.    WiFi and Cellular coverage is spotty across Costa Rica. We recommend you download maps and directions to your mobile device; print your details; take screenshots; or save them to a text-based phone app, like Notes.
