Guest Reviews
- William (10/5): - Excelente đ
- Jose Miguel (10/5): RecomendadĂsimo. - Apartamento espectacular y huĂ©sped genial. Todo cuidado al detalle y unas vistas del manglar magnĂficas.
- Orlane (7/5): Vue et coucher de soleil incroyable - Lâemplacement et lâaccueil Le mĂ©nage et les Ă©quipements cuisine vieillot
- Cristian (10/5): -
- Arthur (10/5): One of those places one regrets not booking for a longer stay. - Amazing property with an exceptional view of the mangroves!
- Andrea (9/5): Alojamiento ideal para descansar - La piscina es de lo mejor del alojamiento. La ubicaciĂłn y la villa en general es maravillosa. AdemĂĄs, los dueños son encantadores, nos ayudaron en todo. EL baño, la ducha y las camas eran muy buenas tambiĂ©n. AdemĂĄs, tiene un aire acondicionado muy potente. En general, no tengo nada de lo que quejarme. Si tuviera que mejorar algo serĂa el fregadero de la cocina, se atasca fĂĄcil y hay poco sitio para fregar la vajilla.
- Hannah (10/5): Sehr empfehlenswert! - + groĂes Zimmer (etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber alles war sauber)
+ toller Pool mit einem super Blick bis zum Strand
+ sehr nette Gastgeber
+ abgezĂ€unte Anlage, man hat sich sehr sicher gefĂŒhlt
+ wir durften kostenlos WĂ€sche waschen
+ fuĂlĂ€ufig zum Ort (steiler Berg) -

- Anne (10/5): - If you are looking for a peaceful retreat this is it. The estate is in a stunning location in absolute peace and calm with only the sounds of the fauna surrounding you. The pool area and the balcony of this apartment have a stunning view over the mangrove. The host was very kind and attentive and we loved the space and the vibe of the apartment. I donât think we could have found a place in Quepos more suitable for our needs. The only downside was the furniture: the kitchen chairs were too low for the dining table so we preferred to sit on the sofa which was also a bit too low to sit comfortably. The bed, however, was huge and very comfortable and the kitchen was equipped with everything imaginable.
- Lynette (10/5): A fabulous place to stay - Beautiful property with fabulous views run by the perfect host. Great pool, comfortable room and bed. Wildlife around. Short walk to Quepos and a public bus to Manuel Antonio
- Javier (10/5): - Un lugar simplemente espectacular
- Sinisterra (10/5): Fin de semana en Familiaâš - Todo, Jan es un amor de persona, super amable, super atentaâš las instalaciones limpias, cĂłmodas y cĂ©ntricas, la piscina y las vistas espectaculares, sin duda volveremos. Super recomendadođ
- Mike (10/5): -
- Waugh (9/5): A nice stay on a property with a beautiful view of the ocean and sunset. Friendly owner, comfy bed. - There was no breakfast available at Puesta del Sol. It would have been nice to just have
a continental breakfast and sit outside at the beautiful pool with a specacular view. The
room was very clean and the bed was very comfy.
- Pierre (8/5): - Superbe vue depuis la piscine.
- Carolina (7/5): -
- Penny (8/5): A good base for exploring Quepos - The pool was lovely and the views were absolutely stunning. The apartment was clean and well equipped. Jan was friendly and very helpful.

Une vue sur la canopĂ©e de Quepos incroyable, au milieu des oiseaux et dans un couloir de passage des aras. Rien
- Bonnie (10/5): We will be back! - Jan and Kenâs home is an absolute paradise. You are surrounded by rainforest, with a view of the ocean, and beautiful sunsets! We have seen over 60 kinds of birds, including toucans, Scarlett macaws, fly catchers,eagles, etc monkeys come through the trees right beside the Casa. We have seen toads, frogs, lizards, and numerous insects. You do not have to leave this place, in order to see nature. They are well equipped for anything you would need. From beach accessories, flashlights, umbrellas, weights, and lanterns. The apartments are well equipped as well, with comfortable beds. A easy 10 minute walk downtown. Jan is the hostess, with the mostest. We will miss it Nothing
- J Alix (10/5): Un endroit calme et ultra-sĂ©curisĂ© oĂč il fait bon se ressourcer. On s'y sent tout de suite chez soi - Un vĂ©ritable havre de paix ! TrĂšs bel endroit, propre et bien situĂ©, oĂč la sĂ©curitĂ© et la sĂ©rĂ©nitĂ© rĂšgnent. L'accueil chaleureux de notre hĂŽtesse et ses prĂ©cieux conseils ont rendu notre sĂ©jour unique. Mention spĂ©ciale pour le jardin magnifique, la piscine trĂšs propre et la vue mer incroyable au coucher du soleil (avec mĂȘme quelques iguanes en prime !). Tout y Ă©tait pour une dĂ©tente totale. RecommandĂ© Ă 100 %. Pura Vida ! »
- Greivin (10/5): Excelente opciĂłn - Muy bien la ubicaciĂłn, espectacular los atardeceres
- Violeta (10/5): I love the location, the place is amazing. - I love the amazing views,the pool, the place is just beautiful. The host provided us with the information about beaches, things to do, she let us know about the birds that are in the property, also the place is very close to the national park. The kitchenette is a bit small but you can manage.
- Maria (7/5): Acogedora - La zona de piscina y las vistas OlĂa un poco a humedad y a perro
- Stephanie (9/5): Comfy place to relax - like staying with friends or a local - Like staying with family or friends or even with a local.
Excellent infrastructure MUCH appreciated. Costa Rica is about the adventure and we really did not mind some of the typical CR nuances like not being able to flush toilet paper and the so-called âsuicide showerâ heads (donât worry, we had many and they are fine) or spotty internet. However, we did certainly appreciate that Jan had provided such great reliable infrastructure!
Great internet - fiber with backup option
HOT shower with pressure - not the CR shower head
Flush toilets compared to paper in basket
Reliable power - solar backup
Great a/c
Quiet and private with expected âlife noiseâ - parrots and other jungle sounds, motor bikes, dogs. Nothing that bothered us at all.
Completely safe, gated, free parking
Water drinkable - has been everywhere
Coffee, sugar, oil, salt pepper, some spices
Full refer, drip coffee, microwave, cooktop
Toaster oven, tabletop baking oven, toaster
Big bed - quite firm
Books, games
Room to spread out and be comfortable
Two separate baths with showers - liquid hand soap provided along with some shampoo/conditioner
Two small but sufficient TVs
Lounging area
Some reviews mention cleanliness. It is clean enough and where it counts. No bugs or other creatures inside or anything else that bothered me and I am a clean freak. It felt lived in or like staying a friendâs house or with a local family. We were at the end of traveling Costa Rica for a month and felt very comfortable relaxing and winding down here.
Clean pool - bug spray, sunblock available
Host onsite - very helpful, speaks English
Not easily walkable to things but lots of taxis in Quepos. If you are there for a while I recommend renting a car for a few days. I am sure Jan could help you arrange that.
Recommendations:
Extreme M&R for rafting - Jason Luis Marjorie
Chile bus tacos - cute little food court with massive and yummy burritos. No issues
- Carolyn (9/5): Fabulous stay in fantastic apartment near a really nice âproperâ local town. with great hosts - Everything was really great. The apartment, the pool, the view. Very well equipped and very comfortable. Easy walk to town and the harbour / waterfront where we enjoyed the local town vibe and watching pelicans diving. The local people were brilliant, happily pointing out wildlife in town for us ! We had never seen as many huge iguanas before and we didnât need to go to a national park, just walk through town ! Very near to different attractions.
But most all Jan and her husband Ken were fantastic. Really helpful and friendly. The three dogs were lovely, and they clearly enjoyed escaping through the gate when we opened it!! Nothing
- Christopher (9/5): Lovely place to stay - This is a lovely apartment, one of two rented out at the ownerâs home. The other is let to a long term tenant who we never saw so it felt like we had the facilities to ourselves. Very spacious room with a huge bed plus sofa, table & chairs, kitchen area and bathroom. Itâs located in an elevated position on the edge of town which provides for great views to the ocean from the terrace and pool. Jan and Ken are great hosts and Jan went out of her way to help us through a couple of issues we had over the time we were staying there. 15-20 minute walk to the town centre, slightly longer to the marina where there are great restaurants.
- Catherine (10/5): Beautiful property! Wonderful hosts! I'd come back again and again - This was the second time I visited Casa Puesta del Sol. I had such a great time the first time I came with my husband, that I decided to revist this time to show off Manuel Antonio on a girlfriends' vacation. Just like last time, the host was fabulous. So friendly and helpful. We only had two days in the area, so she gave us the scoop on where to go. The apartment was cozy and clean with a view over the mangrove. Beautiful sunsets! And an unobstructed view from the pool. A tropical paradise!! Anytime I come to this area, I plan on coming back to Casa Puesta del Sol. An amazing value for the price.
- Maggy (10/5): Fantastic stay. Jan was a wonderful host and extremely helpful. Iâd highly recommend it to anyone - Itâs in a perfect location to go both north and south on the West Coast of Costa Rica. Itâs far enough away from the city (5 minutes) to be quiet and yet close enough to be minutes from most stores and the marina. Great pool. Fun Garden to explore. Birdwatching amenities.
- Edwin (10/5): Jan has a lovely property near Manuel Antonio, very private and incredible sunset, ideal place. -
- Taynara (5/5): Passable -
- Stephanie (10/5): Wonderful stay at Puesta del Sol - Jan was a wonderful host. The pool was refreshing after a long drive, the sunsets were beautiful, and the birds and other wildlife all around the property were great!
- Gert (10/5): Great sunset view over the pacific - Friendly host and her 3 amazing dogs. It has a small private rainforest area. Great to see the sunset, birds from the pool area.
- Oliver (10/5): Exceptional - Couldnât have asked for more, great location, the pool and garden space were brilliant and plenty of space to relax. Perfect for everything we needed. Jan and Ken were gracious hosts and nothing was too much trouble.
- Janelle (9/5): Superb -
- Ham (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful view from the pool, house is excellent, beds were very comfortable and the family is super helpful and accommodating. Loved staying here, kitchen has everything we needed.
- Adrienne (10/5): Warm and welcoming stay in Quepos - Jan's place was just lovely, and so was she! The flat was comfortable, characterful and private, with a lovely balcony. The shared pool is gorgeous, with a wonderful view. Jan is so generous and interesting, and we loved having a chat. The friendly dogs were fun to cuddle as well. Quepos is a great little place (much better than Manuel Antonio). Make sure you visit the Bon Bonete French patisserie, and the market on Friday and Saturday for great fruit, veg and crafts.
- Siralexis91 (9/5): Hidden gem with stunning views - A true gem, hidden in the hills of Quepos, this accommodation has stunning views of the jungle and ocean, especially the sunsets! You can enjoy them from the swimming pool too!
Jan and Ken were amazing, responding very promptly and ensuring we have everything needed, even snorkel equipment and towels.
You get a whole apartment, fully equipped kitchen, 2 bathrooms both with showers, lots of space, aircon, terrace with chairs to enjoy the colibries, parrots and stunning views. We loved the dogs too, Marco and Chichi! We loved everything but maybe if we have to say something, prepare to be surrounded by the wildness of the jungle, meaning that there will be toads, big lizards, spiders, etc, but honestly, that was part of the experience of Costa Rica too!
- Stephen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - There are so many things to love about Puesta del Sol! The gracious host and warm welcome, the pool with a view over mangroves and out to sea. Beautiful sunsets. A lovely big bed in a comfortable room.
- Ariel (7/5): Good -
- Laurynas (10/5): Exceptional - Our family liked everything about this apartment. Spacious two large rooms and two bathrooms apartment with amazing view from the balcony! Kitchen is fully equipped, bed comfortable. Pool area and the view to forest and ocean is must to be mentioned as superb!!! Our daughter was enjoying private pool everyday. There's also beach equipment, that you can take with you to the beach. Location is absolutely perfect, not far from downtown but on the high hill, so you feel like in the middle of nature. Owner is very nice lady, she gave us advices about the beaches, restaurants and etc., also told us interesting things about living in Costa Rica. By the way birds, lizards, Iguanas ar the ones you'll meet around the house. O can recommend this place 100% to anyone staying in Quepos. Will be definitely stay in Puesta del Sol next time in Quepos!
- Julie (10/5): A peaceful mangrove and ocean view - The apartment was large, well equipped and clean. The pool was wonderful! We enjoyed the quiet views from the deck to watch birds and boats. Jan was very kind, helpful and quick to reply, even making sure we had water bottles for the national park. A bit awkward to wash the dishes in the bathroom sink. The property is a bit far from town but worth it for the viewđ
- Annelies (10/5): Lovely hosts & amazing garden - Lovely hosts, a magnificent view and many animals (monkeys, parrots, lizzard) that come and say hello to you every day. Really clean, nice swimming pool and a short walk to the centre of Quepos. Having to leave - we could have stayed much longer :-)
- Katy (10/5): Exceptional -
