Palmetto Lodge - the Luxury B&B and Remote-Working Space
A remote-working luxury B&B near Playa San Miguel
About this stay
Palmetto Lodge pitches itself at travelers staying long enough to need a real desk as much as a beach chair, five minutes by taxi from Playa San Miguel and over two and a half hours from the Liberia airport by the same measure of distance. The B&B format keeps the scale intentionally small compared to the resorts further south, and the remote-working angle shapes everything from room layout to the overall pace of the property throughout the day. Restaurante San Miguel sits a short taxi ride away for evenings out, though the isolation of this stretch of coast means most days revolve around the lodge itself rather than a strip of nearby options to choose from.
- Work-and-beach B&B pacing
- Short taxi to Playa San Miguel
Our take
Palmetto Lodge is a small luxury B&B a short taxi ride from Playa San Miguel, built around personal service and a dedicated remote-working desk. Its 9.8 rating across 61 reviews reflects how well that formula works. I recommend it to remote workers, couples and families with older children who value calm; anyone wanting resort facilities or nightlife nearby should look elsewhere.
- ✓Confirm the desk setup and Wi-Fi speed before booking if work is the main reason for the trip, not an afterthought
- ✓Budget the full two and a half hours from Liberia airport, this end of the coast is genuinely remote by any measure
- ✓Book the taxi to Restaurante San Miguel ahead of time for dinner, options nearby are limited on any given evening
Why we love it
- Small-scale B&B, not a resort
- Built around remote work, not just leisure travel
- Five minutes from Playa San Miguel
- Quiet northern end of the coast
Why guests love itPalmetto Lodge is a small luxury bed and breakfast a five-minute taxi ride from Playa San Miguel on the Nicoya Peninsula. Its scale means personal attention rather than resort facilities, which suits families with older children or parents who need to work, thanks to a dedicated remote-working desk. The beach is close for an afternoon swim, and the surroundings stay quiet. With a 9.8 rating across 61 reviews, I would choose it for a calm stay that mixes work and beach time.
