Elan at Ballena Beach

Condo Hotel

Loved the children's pool and the easy access to the beach.

The setting is like something out of a movie set. Landscaped pathways through a legit jungle setting, take you on a three and a half minute walk to the most breathtaking beach you can imagine. Since the beach is private, you’ll be sharing it with less than a handful of people and often nobody at all. We filmed a dozen monkeys jumping from tree to tree right at the water’s edge. The pool area is lovely and you’ll see colorful birds flying overhead. In the past few days we’ve seen Fireflies, butterflies.

If you’ve ever wanted to sleep in the jungle in luxury, here’s your place! Elan is set in the jungle and steps away from the secluded, Blue Flag beach. No riptides to worry about when your swimming, kayaking, surfing or boogie boarding. 3 pools set in the jungle along with a hot tub. 24 hour security along with a daily lifeguard. Every condo is a luxury condo with all the amenities you could need. You’ll be surrounded by Toucans, Monkeys, Macaws, Capybaras to name a few along with gorgeous tropical flowers and foliage. It’s a dream destination!

We stayed at Elan at Bellena Beach in beginning of April. It is a 5 star resort on the beach in Costa Rica. The rooms were incredible, we had a 2 bedroom, 2 bath that was gorgeous. Very clean and modern, beach was private, convenient to get to. The people at the resort couldn't have been nicer. We will be going back, and staying in 4 C. It is the best unit there.

I stayed in 4E, which was beautifully decorated, with most furniture and textiles sourced from local artisans. The decor definitely reflects the world traveling owners which provides an opportunity to enjoy the art from a multitude of other cultures. Large windows and sliding glass doors provide a view to the exotic landscape. You have a semi private beach with a private path through the jungle leading to it. There are 3 swimming pools and a jacuzzi with plenty of space to relax on lounge chairs or at table and chairs. The word stunning doesn't quite do this place justice! With exotic flowers and birds anywhere you look, add all the modern amenities a human needs without hoards of people everywhere, and this can simple be put as a paradise on earth, the best part; it's right outside your door ❤

The best of the south… and the best beaches in CR. Peace, tranquility, rest and much enjoyment!

The most amazing beach I have ever stepped foot on! Hardly anyone in sight with some of the most spectacular views the pacific has to offer. The all natural coastline is really what sets it apart from any other vacation destination. There are also many recreational activities available at no charge. Walking the beach is very relaxing with some small trails to hike as well. My favorite part is the exotic animals that can be encountered from your condo balcony or by walking to the beach. We were lucky to see various tropical birds, rare butterflies, lizards of all size, sloths, and best of all the monkeys!
