We stayed at Ranch Armadillo for 8 days in december and had a great time! First, what everyone else has said about Rick is true. He was absolutely indispensable and so hospitable. He would help us plan our activities for the day including letting us know when the best times were to go do various activities. His guidance was always... more

Beautiful view. Charming rooms. Great pool area with excellent hammock reading spot . The most attentive, knowledgeable, eager-to-help-in-any-way-possible host on the planet. If Rick and this place don't put you at ease, you can't be put at ease. Highly recommended. I like big iguanas guarding the walkway to my room but if your wife is as squeamish about such things... more

Stayed at Rancho Armadillo for 5 nights as part of a Costa Rica tour. Chose Playas del Coco for the diving above all and dived every day with Rich Coast Diving. Rancho Armadillo is gorgeous, set back from the town, very tranquil with beautiful sea views and lovely gardens. Very nice breakfasts and a chilled atmosphere. Rick is what makes... more

We just got back from Costa Rica and enjoyed our stay at Rancho Armadillo near Coco beach. The owner Rick is very helpful and actually helped me plan not just our stay at his place but also the rest of our Costa Rica visit which included La Fortuna and Manuel Antonio. We rented a car in La Fortuna and drove... more

If it were possible to give a place six stars, this place would get it! We made our reservation here based on the fact it was highly regarded on Trip Advisory, and the reviews there couldn't have been more accurate. Rick basically planned our entire itinerary (he suggested the places to go and activities to do.) The only problem with... more

We stayed at Rancho Armadillo April 2-5/09 and it is our favourite accommodation of all that we have stayed in over the past 3 years. With only 7 units, it has an intimate homey feel, without being claustrophobic. The rooms are a good size, furnished in upscale rustic style with lots of tile and tropical wood. The property overlooks Playa... more

I had a great time at Rancho Armadillo. If you're going to be staying here it is nice to have a car as it is a hike into town, and if you want to see the rest of the beaches around this area it is a good thing to have. The room was quaint, had all the amenities I wanted,... more

Rick and Debbie made us feel at home right away, There knowledge of the flora and fauna help us appreciate costa rica. Even just sitting up at night and talking about the stars. The other guests we met had the same relaxed approach so it was easy to just sit pool side and chat. If you want to have a... more
