Bienvenidos

A small jungle retreat inside Black Stallion Eco Ranch

Tekana is a boutique jungle hotel near Tamarindo. Small on purpose: personal hospitality, a pool surrounded by tropical green, and the kind of quiet you came to Costa Rica for.

Step outside and the ranch's horseback trails, canopy zipline and Costa Rican BBQ are close by. Step back in and the jungle slows everything down.
