THE AREA
You may just want to stay in your private retreat for your entire stay.
We get it.
We haven’t made Stealing Time a non-stop-action kind of resort.
But if you’d like to see a bit of the area, it’s a beautiful piece of the planet.
Stealing Time is located on Costa Rica’s mid-Pacific coast,
in the town of Esterillos. Around the winter solstice, the sun both rises and sets on our beach.
Esterillos is a charming town, with wonderfully warm people.
There are numerous local cafés, called ‘sodas’ where you ‘II get made-by-mom style local meals,
as well as a couple of standout restaurants, which we can recommend.
It’s an exceptionally beautiful Iandscape that isn’t touristy, overcrowded or overdeveloped.
You can walk for miles on the Blue-Flag beach, without encountering crowds or aggressive vendors.
Go fishing like a local, no million dollar yachts.
Jorge, who runs the local sea turtle sanctuary, supervises a release of babies.
He can also teach you to surf.
Costa Rica is renowned for its beauty, nature and wildlife. Esterillos won’t disappoint.
