Getting around

If you are renting a car or using our driver services. Navigating from the Sunset is easy to do. There are only a few main roads in Costa Rica and although they can be rough in spots, we are here to make sure you know where you are going and how to get there. I draw maps for almost all our groups, even when they have GPS because I will call your attention to certain landmarks or signs that won't be marked on printed maps. We are here to make your getting to where you need to be hassle free!

Interaction with guest

My name is Patrick Hughes, I finished building"The Sunset" in 2002, after buying the property and existing 1 bedroom house in 2000. We operate with the services of a fine boutique hotel. We are fully staffed, to offer you our fantastic complimentary breakfast. Set up and arrange any tour in the area. Provide dinner service. Arrange transport services and in general help in any way we can so that you can maximize your time in paradise and have an unforgettable, hassle free time. We are here to meet you upon your arrival and help you schedule any and all activities. All while retaining a complete sense of privacy for your group. We are there when you need us!
