Frequently Asked Questions

We're considering Ylang Ylang Beach Resort for a relaxing escape after some serious wildlife viewing. What's the vibe like, and is it really as tranquil as it looks?

Absolutely. Ylang Ylang Beach Resort is our go-to for unwinding. It's a wonderfully intimate boutique lodge, and while it's close to the Romelia Wildlife Refuge, it feels worlds away. We love the quiet elegance; the lodge itself feels luxurious and timeless, perfect for sinking into after a day of adventure.

What's the best time of year to visit Ylang Ylang Beach Resort if we want to maximize our chances of seeing wildlife in the nearby Romelia refuge, but also enjoy good beach weather?

For the best of both worlds, we recommend visiting during the dry season, which generally runs from December to April. You'll find sunny skies perfect for the beach, and wildlife viewing in Refugio de Vida Silvestre Romelia is usually excellent. The transition months, like November and May, can also be lovely with fewer crowds, though you might encounter a bit more rain.

We're interested in the fishing opportunities mentioned. Can you tell us more about what kind of fishing we can expect near Ylang Ylang Beach Resort, and is it something we can arrange easily?

The fishing around Ylang Ylang is fantastic, particularly if you enjoy inshore and nearshore angling. We've had great success casting for snapper, roosterfish, and various other tropical species right from the coast or on short boat trips. The lodge can easily arrange guided fishing excursions for you; it's a highlight we always look forward to.

The price range for Ylang Ylang Beach Resort seems reasonable. What should we budget for activities and meals beyond the room rate?

While the room rates are quite competitive for this level of comfort, we advise budgeting extra for spa treatments and guided fishing trips, which are well worth it. Meals at the lodge are delicious, and you can expect to spend around $60-$90 per person per day for food and drinks, depending on your choices. It's a fair price for the quality and experience.

We've heard Costa Rica can have some unique wildlife encounters. Besides the Romelia refuge, are there any specific animals we might spot right at Ylang Ylang Beach Resort or along the beach itself?

You're in for a treat. While the Romelia refuge is teeming with life, we've often spotted howler monkeys and capuchins in the trees surrounding the lodge itself. Keep an eye out for iguanas basking in the sun and a variety of tropical birds flitting about. The sunsets are sensational, and often accompanied by the calls of nature.
