Bella Sirena is located 4 hours south east of San Jose
in the Gandoca Manzanillo wildlife refuge. On our property
we have many flowers, fruit and giant Rainforest trees.
Just a short walk along the road to town leads to a tranquil, uncrowded beach, featuring the beautiful blue Caribbean Sea. The best snorkeling in the area can be found right offshore; no need to hire a boat. After swimming or snorkeling, kick back and enjoy a cool drink or a snack from one of the local sodas.
Manzanillo
(1K) is a small fishing village with restaurants,
grocers, a dive shop and a boutique. Town children
play Soccer on the beach day and night, rain or shine,
in front of Maxi's famous seafood restaurant.
