Being at the flying scorpion really was the highlight of my trip. Not only do you get to embrace the essence of the locals, be by the most beautiful beach, and enjoy the freshest & finest foods. You are welcomed by some of the most awesome people. The people at the flying scorpion made you feel at home, and helped... More

Staying here was once of the most relaxing experiences of my life. The beach is across the street, the rooms are simple and comfortable (They actually have hot water! I stayed somewhere else that advertised this, but the water was tepid at best) and the bar/restaurant is always entertaining. I think everyone who comes through here always has a hard... More

This was my first time at the flying scorpion and it will be the destination of all my Central American trips to come! I work in the Ski/Snowboard Industry and travel every other week and stay all over the world, and never have I had such an inviting friendly experience! Rossi and the whole crew know how to do it...

We stayed only one night at the Flying Scorpion but enjoyed it very much. Rossi greeted us with a warm welcome and had just pulled dinner out of the oven. He had made a lasagna and it was very, very tasty. It was pretty late in the night when we got there but after dinner we hung our with Rossi... More

If you're looking for a place to get away from everyone and everything, then this place certainly fits the bill. If you are looking for adventure and excitement then I would not suggest staying here. This is a very laid back atmosphere. You will be well fed and you will get a real feel of the local environment and the... More

January 2012 was my fourth visit to San Miquel and hanging with Rossi, Amanda, MareBeth and the rest of the crew. Most accomodating and sharing. This year on our annual fishing trip on Rossi's boat based out of Bejuco we were treated to a family of whales that let us get scaringly close- last year it was giant manta rays... More

Where shall we start? It was superperfectcool for us, not only the place, but even more through Rossi and his crowd. Our six year old son enjoyed the fishing, the food, the beach, the jungle walk, the estuar nearby - even weeks later asking us: When do we go back to Rossi's place? After staying for two weeks, we started... More

I spent a week in one of the cabinas at The Flying Scorpion, and could have stayed and stayed. Rossi, Amanda, Mike, Mariano, Connie and Ingo (and everyone else!) make this place very special: easy to hang out and be social in the restaurant/bar, easy to do your own thing. Someone there will know the answer or answers to any... More

We had one of the best weeks of our lives at the Flying Scorpion. We fished and kayaked and surfed and relaxed. The food is amazing, the atmosphere perfect and the people a joy! More

Last weekend we hired a car and went along the beaches from Sámara to Malpais. Without any advance notice we arrived at the Flying Scorpion around 7.40pm. Really late for a random check-in in CR... but after some reorganization they gave us one of the houses directly next to the beach! Designed for 4 people (2 king-size bed, 2 bathrooms,... More
