The airframe was salvaged from its San Jose airport-resting place and carefully transported on five, big-rig trucks to the jungles of Manuel Antonio where they have been resurrected into this unique airplane suite. Perched on a 50-foot pedestal, this classic airplane offers scenic ocean and jungle views from the hard wood deck built atop the plane's former right wing.

Furnishings are hand-carved in teak, in keeping with the jungle setting. The 727 home features two air conditioned bedrooms - one with two queen sized beds and the other with one queen sized bed, each with its own private bath—a flat screen TV, a kitchenette, dining area foyer; an ocean view terrace; a private entrance up a river rock, spiral staircase; and 360 degrees of surrounding gardens.

Enjoy an evening on the terrace while sipping a glass of wine and observing your tree top neighbors: sloths, toucans, monkeys and more.

The resort also has a number of houses and bungalows to supplement the 727 suite, as well as studio apartments and a penthouse with views across to the Manuel Antonio National Park. These are between 250 and 400 yards from the beach, 300 feet below you. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the beach. Uphill, on the way back, can take a little longer of course!

Four totally unique bars & restaurants will satisfy your every taste and need.

Costa Rica's Pacific coast enjoys a classic, predictable monsoon climate - i.e. there are only two distinct seasons: rainy and dry. Normally the rainy season runs from mid-April to mid-November. During this time, mornings are usually clear and it often rains in the early evenings.
