We went to stay in Finca Amanecer on 4th of June 2010. We took a taxi from Quepos to Londres, and took a turn at the sign to Finca Amanecer, after London Bridge. We arrived at a small, unmarked bungalow with locked doors and windows. A frantically barking dog came to greet us, but there was no sight of a living soul otherwise. We waited and wandered around about for 20 minutes, trying to figure out whether we were at the right place (even though the sign at the entrance clearly said so) and, if so, where everyone was. The lodge's phone wasn't answering. Finally, feeling rather embarrassed, we started honking and shouting aloud. All to no avail. We drove to the center of the village but no one was able to help us (they said the place did exist but could not give us any more information). We left the place feeling upset and humiliated. We wasted a couple of hours and 40 USD on a taxi. To this day we are unsure if that place exists, or is it just a big fat scam (though not sure how it would be of any use to anyone, other than taxi drivers perhaps?).
