Guest Reviews

• Andre (9/5): - La vista y las habitaciones, y sin dudar la atención del huésped increíble La entrada al lugar tiene unas gradas complicadas para adultos mayores
• Belen (10/5): - Hermoso lugar para hospedarse lejos de ruidos que no sean de la naturaleza. Las habitaciones muy comodas y con bella decoracion. El balcon hacia la selva y mar lo disfrutamos mucho. Cerca de la playa manzanillo.
• Marisabel (9/5): Muy lindo y agradable. Está muy bien por el precio. Solo ajustar lo que detallo en mi descripción . - Muy lindo ambientado. Camas muy cómodas . Aprecio que la cama adicional era tan cómoda como las otras. Ambientes amplios. Linda vista . Los anfitriones muy amables. Todo muy ecológico. Lo que no me gustó es que ofrecen lavarropas (algo fundamental para una familia de 5 personas), pero al llegar te enterás de que no tenés acceso al mismo: el servicio lo realiza la anfitriona y te lo cobra aparte. Por otro lado, hubo un manejo poco claro con el pago. Me cobraron en colones aplicando un tipo de cambio arbitrario a favor de la propiedad, resultando en un excedente de u$s 50 sobre el valor que figuraba en la reserva de Booking. Finalmente, el departamento no cuenta con horno ni hornito eléctrico (aunque no figuraba en la descripción, sería indispensable instalar uno para poder calentar comida básica).
• Beatrice (10/5): Auf du und du mit Brüllaffen und Nasenbären - Das Apartment hat einen wunderbaren Blick auf Wald und Pazifik. Man wird jeden Morgen von Brüllaffen geweckt. Direkt am Balkon gab es Nasenbären und ein Gürteltier. Leider kein Fliegennetz, sodass man nachts immer mit Klimaanlage schlafen muss und nicht mit den Geräuschen des Dschungels. Die Vermieter haben ein italienisches Lokal La Chile Viola mit ausgezeichneter Küche, guten Preisen und einer sensationellen Lage mit Dschungel- und Meerblick. Dort gibt es auch einen Pool, den Gäste jederzeit nutzen können, beides fußläufig 10 Minuten. Sonstige Restaurants, Frühstückslokale und Supermarkt mit dem Auto ab 10 Min Fahrt auf Schotterweg. 4x4 nicht nötig, aber höhergelegt sollte das Auto sein. Großartige Gastfreundlichkeit als Vermieter und im Restaurant! Die Nicoaya Halbinsel ist in der Trockenzeit von Januar bis März sehr trocken mit vielen kahlen Bäumen, wovon man überrascht sein könnte, wenn man es nicht weiß. Santa Teresa ist 20 min mit dem Auto entfernt und sehr touristisch. Eine tolle Alternative ist der entspanntere und ebenso schöne Hermosa Beach in 10 Min Fahrt. Der Manzanillo Beach ist naturbelassen und wäre zu Fuß in 20 Min machbar, aber sehr anstrengend.
• Nadav (1/5): -
• Lisa Maria (8/5): -
• Paul (9/5): Perfect peace in a beautiful location - A great peaceful location. Not too far from Santa Theresa if that’s your thing. The nearest beach is gorgeous Water pressure was a bit low but that wasn’t a problem.
• Charlotte (10/5): Petit paradis dans la nature - Tout ! L’endroit est incroyable et les hôtes formidables 🥰 Rien
• Maria Gabriela (10/5): -
• Solis (10/5): Bonita estadía - Las vistas hacia la naturaleza Las calles de lastre es un poco complicado el acceso
• Ernesto (8/5): - Espacios amplios con hermosa vista a la selva y de fondo al mar. Lejos de las playas donde uno pueda entrar al mar. Podría mejorar el equipamiento (utensilios, microondas)
• BEATA (7/5): - Labai patiko galimybė būti arti gamtos, nuostabus vaizdas pro langą, laukinė gamta, šokinėjančios beždžionės, voverės, vaizdas į vandenyną! Tas atperka viską! Šeimininkai labai paslaugūs ir malonūs, turi jaukų restoranėlį su nuostabiu vaizdu į saulėlydį visai šalia lokacijos. Maistas nuostabus, tikrai rekomenduoju! Tačiau vykti į šią vietą be mašinos ar keturračio neverta, nes be transporto priemonės komunikacija yra labai sudėtinga. Norint pasiekti paplūdimį reikia eiti žvyrkeliu nuo stataus kalno, pravažiuojančios mašinos pastoviai kelia dulkes… tiek sudėtinga vėliau grįžti atgal. Shuttle’ai iki šios lokacijos nevažiuoja, UBER irgi, bandėme kelis kartus kviesti. Buvome čia 4 dienas, iš kurių nė vienos dienos nebuvo karšto nei net drungno vandens, vieną dieną iš vis vandens nebuvo. Svetainėje nėra kondicionieriaus, todėl gaminant būna labai karšta.
• Harry (9/5): Lovely stay - Very friendly and helpful host. Lovely spot with tranquil vibes and nature. Got to use the pool at the resteraunt. Well presented, relaxing stay
• Samuel (10/5): Much better than one could expect for the price, definitely will come back. - Very nice Hosts, they have a restaurant nearby which is very recommendable as well.
• OLIVER DOSTAL (7/5): -
• Wiewiórki (9/5): - Bardzo życzliwi gospodarze, duży taras z widokiem na Ocean i przyrodę duża kuchnia z otwieranym tarasem. Gospodarze prowadzą świetna restauracje o kilka minut spacerem od apartamentu. Pyszne jedzenie i piękne widoki na zachód słońca. Jak nie przywiązujesz wagi do super komfortu i sterylne czystości to pokochasz to miejsce. Ale bez samochodu 4x4 nie polecam się tam wybierać. Problemy z wodą. Mimo starań gospodarzy nie zawsze wodą jest w kranie. W trakcie 3 dni naszego pobytu nie było cieplej wody a ostatniego dnia rano brakło zupełnie. Przydało by się też zrobić check listę do sprzątania i przygotowania apartamentu dla kolejnych gości bo jest sporo niedociągnięć. Głównie drobnych i można przymknąć oko.
• Hugo (8/5): Ondergedompeld in de jungle vibe, in prettig en schoon appartement, met restaurant van de eigenaren als nabije basis. - Prachtig uitzicht, fijn balkon, heerlijke omgeving midden in de natuur. Prettige en gastvrije ontvangst en verzorging. Gebruik van zwembad (400m afstand). Geen airco in de woonkamer, was soms onprettig, omdat we daar ook wilden werken.
• Roy (10/5): Escape perfecto de la rutina - La comodidad del lugar, súper bien equipado. La vista al bosque y el océano al fondo deleitando con su sonido.
• Herrera Jiménez (9/5): Me gustó mucho definitivamente volvería - El lugar cuenta con una vista súper linda y mucha naturaleza Buena comunicación con los anfitriones Lleve a mis 2 perros y se ajustaron al lugar y fueron bn recibidos La entrada requiere de carro alto para más comodidad
• Silvia (10/5): Naturaleza tranquila - La tranquilidad y naturaleza Todo me gusto
• Olga (9/5): -
• Sandra (8/5): We were cycling so the location was not ideal for us. Would be better for people with a car. - Beautiful, comfortable, nicely furnished. A bit far from a restaurant. Up a steep hill.
• Jeff (9/5): Great value for cost and great host. It's a distance from town of Santa Teresa, but was expected - N/A on breakfast. Location was nice and secluded, but gravel roads are tough and lighting to find it at night, if you weren't used to it. No air conditioning in the kitchen. We didn't use it to cook, but would be pretty warm and humid, if we did.
• Janice (10/5): Exceptional - View and the hosts
• Janice (10/5): Exceptional - The hosts and location. We could have used a microwave
• Boangiu (10/5): Beautiful place - Great host, great rooms, great view Rough roads in the area but not related to the booking or the host
• Andrea (10/5): Beautiful place to relax - The place is beautiful, modern, and calm. There aren't any loud noises or cars, truly a place to disconnect from everything. The place is 10/10. Manzanillo and hermosa beach are really close 5-10min drive (I would recommend renting a quad to move around. Santa Teresa is like a 15-20 min drive.) The apartment has everything needed to cook, and the outdoor shower and balcony are gorgeous. You can hear the waves and animals at night. Would recommend staying here if you want to relax and not be in the middle of everything but still close enough. The only thing that could improve this place is a bathtub or small pool.
• Camacho (8/5): Very good -
• Magnus (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful view!
• Philipp (10/5): Exceptional - We had such a lovely stay here! You have a view of the ocean and the jungle. Luz and Emiliano are the perfect host. You can come to them with every problem you have and they will help you to solve it. Pura Vida! Everything was perfect!
• Sarah (10/5): A beautiful jungle stay - The apartment is super clean and beautifully furnished - Emiliano is a caring host and communication was very easy. I would flag that it’s much easier/better if you have a car available to get around. But apart from that, the apartment itself is great!
• Luisa (10/5): Tree house feeling with wonderful confort - This place is absolutely amazing! It made me feel I was in a tree house because the house is high and in front of the house every thing is green, full of trees! the front of the house is all in glass ( very nice windows) and it has a very nice balcony, so you can be in the bed and you just see the trees and the sea... it's beautiful and very relaxing! The house is super clean, really perfect, the beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are spacious. The house has air conditioning which is quite essential in Costa Rica. From the house, in less then 5 minutes by car, you have beautiful beaches! Close to the house you have a wonderful sushi restaurant. Santa Teresa is also close and there you have many restaurants and shops. But if you like a quiet place, Laurel jungle and ocean is much better than Santa Teresa. The cherry on top are the owners, Luz and Emiliano are super nice people and really make you feel home! Perfect hosts! Thank you for a wonderful stay! Everything was perfect
• Corrin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was just perfect! Highly recommended!
• Janet (10/5): The best way to wind down from our busy 2 week holiday - Everything about this little spot is just superb. The hosts Emiliano & Luz are friendly, welcoming and couldn’t have been more helpful. We felt right at home, enjoying the views, BBQing, exploring the jungle countryside and watching the ocean waves. Highly recommend.
• Karen (10/5): Amazing stay near Santa Teresa - What a stunning setting! It’s not easy to find but once you’re there it’s true bliss! Everything is finished to impeccable quality, the rooms feel luxurious and Emiliano is a natural host, who welcomes you with a big smile, great stories and helpful tips! It’s the nicest place we have stayed in over our 6 weeks so far! One thing that can be made clearer is that there isn’t actually a washing machine in the flat itself (which we hoped for) but instead there is a laundry service.
• Justyna (10/5): Love this house - The house is amazing. I the middle of the jungle with an ocen view. It was pure pleasure to stay in Emilio's house. The rooms were very comfortable with a big and spacious terrace. The kitchen was very good equipped, everything is so thoughtful. The owners are very friendly. I can truly recommend this house. I love it.
• Maurizio (10/5): Exceptional - Great place great people great location beautiful sunset and very relaxing place
• Marco (10/5): 100% recommended - the apartment is new, very nice and equipped with everything. The view is amazing! Immersed in peace and nature, but just minutes from everything. nothing
