We stayed at the Flying Scorpion for Christmas last year, and it was the whole family's favorite part of our three weeks in Costa Rica. We were there for four days and still didn't want to leave. We even considered traveling back to the end of the road in Playa San Miguel to get away from a less than ideal... More

We have only eaten at the restaurant, but we make a point to go to the Flying Scorpion every time we are in Punta Islita. The food has been great every time and the drinks are yummy as well. It is in a very small town, and we were the only ones in the restaurant this time and they treated... More

Stayed here in November, so technically low season... simple clean rooms, safe environment, good vibes... very chill and relaxing. Beach is just across the road, so perfect location, in my opinion. The beach is beautiful, btw. I'll stay here again next time I'm in San Miguel for sure. Also, great homemade ice cream in all sorts of flavours! Try it!

I come at the scorpion every year since many years and I'm always happy to find it the same way, with excellent food, perfect beach atmosphere, biggest drink selection in the whole area, but most of all, I go for the authentic people (and dogs!) running the place. When you get there, you know you have found a place you'll... More

I found this place on Google Earth and my brand new wife and I decided to stop here as part of our honeymoon trip in the Pac NW of CR. We had a blast! This was, hands down, our favorite place out of six stops. Our room was basic and clean, but when we weren't 'honeymooning,' we spent most of... More

As a Peace Corps volunteer in Costa Rica only a couple quick hours away from San Miguel, the Flying Scorpion was always the amazing getaway I needed for a break away from work that was inexpensive, relaxing and provided the most amazing food. Now, nearly a year after leaving my post in Peace Corps, I have been back several times... More

I stayed at the scorpion with my (now) wife some time ago and never forgot the experience. Not because of the amazing location, great food or relaxing atmosphere... Basically because the scorpion is run with true love for hospitality and that's rare. One of the best places on earth. And yes, i've been to many ;).

This place was the highlight of our Costa Rica vacation. Yes, "bad roads bring good people" and in this case, bad roads brought us to GREAT people. We stayed for two nights, I wish we had just stayed here instead of going all over the place. Calm, unassuming, nice beach, great hammocks, fabulous dogs, fun surf, AMAZING CLEAN FOOD!!! as... More
