• Arguedas (7/5): -
• Vanessa (10/5): -
• valerie (10/5): Séjour exceptionnel ,vue splendide - Suite splendide, tout confort avec sa piscine privée, vue incroyable, nous avons passé un moment exceptionnel de détente après l’hospitalisation de mon mari à San José , personnel très accueillant et responsable adorable qui nous a accueilli à 11h malgré normalement à 14h 15h . Belles plages aux alentours. Nous avons même voulu rester une nuit supplémentaire mais malheureusement complet . N’hésitez surtout pas pour réserver un séjour à AKUA 🤩👍 Rien
• Lasse (10/5): - Es war richtig gut! Vielen Dank für die tolle Suite! Alles war super!
• Bradley (10/5): The best place we stayed on our trip - Everything about our stay here was incredible. Spacious, clean, very comfy bed. Exquisite ocean view from bed and shower, and even though you had neighbours we felt it was still very private. Location was great for Carara national park and for the River Tarcoles. Very clean, staff set up our towels into swans. Lots of birds viewed from the property including trogons and raptors. Nothing
• Wolz (9/5): - Beautiful view. Very private. Neighbors smoking weed. Very hot first night because AC could not catch up.
• Kerstin (10/5): -
• Lisa (8/5): Beautiful private tranquil spot - Beautiful view, private and quiet. Clean and well kept. No security except a gate overnight only
• Jeremy (10/5): Incroyable - L’emplacement était parfait, très bien situé et pratique pour tout visiter. Le logement était confortable et nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Tout était vraiment super, je recommande sans hésiter !
• Samantha (10/5): Beautiful property with great outdoor space - Beautiful decor with luxury feel. Amazing view & outdoor space with plunge pool. Felt very private and was quiet. Flexible on checkout times on request, very responsive communication. Had regular lizard & bird visitors.
• Emeric (9/5): - La vue sur l'océan est fantastique avec l'extérieur et sa piscine, très relaxant ! Il manque une touche de déco dans la chambre malgré tout et voir l'écoulement de la douche...
• serge (8/5): suite avec une piscine privée située en hauteur avec une superbe vue mer - situé en hauteur l'établissement comporte quelques suites avec piscines privatives. la vue est superbe, dommage qu'un petit déjeuner ne soit pas proposé , accès très raide mais parking privé à l'arrivée pas de possibilité de commander un petit déjeuner
• Susanne (7/5): Schöne Bungalows , allerdings sollte man Suite 4 und 5 nicht nehmen. Aussenbereich klein. - Freundliche Gastgeberin. Extrem laute Music waehrend der Nacht von Samstag auf Sonntag.
• Le Petitcorps (10/5): Fabuleux - Logement splendide, tout est parfait , le plus beau que nous ayions fait
• bobby (9/5): -
• MARCO (10/5): - Tutto, gentilezza e disponibilità Nulla
• José Leonardo (8/5): - La vista Todo bien
• Paul (7/5): Great views and chilled location - We stayed in Suite 1 for a 2 night stay 1.5hrs from San Jose - Spacious accommodation, 2 big comfortable beds. Fantastic views across the sea. Plunge pool 26c water temperature. Great communications and helpful advice. Taxi to restaurants 5,000 colones, 10$ each way. Tiko Restaurant Mirador 10 mins, has fantastic sunset views (pictured) wildlife and good food. La Oursa also recommended by owners was also good. Just be aware that it’s a short steep hill up from the main coast road. Non really walkable to anywhere. The road is busy at times and the noise from the lorries can be heard but we didn’t find it intrusive. The small kitchen is basic and needs a refresh but we only used it for drinks and cold breakfast so ok for our needs.
• Charly (6/5): Très belle vue, ideal pour une nuit - La vue depuis le logement. Grand lit. Logement et équipements un peu vieillissant. Odeur désagréable dans la salle d’eau. Stationnement compliqué si le parking est complet
• Beaulieu (9/5): - L'hébergement est de bon goût et très agréable notamment avec la petite piscine privée. Endroit très calme et intime malgré la proximité des autres hébergements. Nous avons vu des aras rouges à partir de notre terrasse. Très peu d'eau chaude dans la douche. Un frigo trop petit.
• Ashley-Rose (10/5): Close to so many beautiful beaches - great people - Great value - close to many restaurants and punta Leona which offered day passes and wonderful food - pool was so refreshing - views were incredible - locals were so friendly - may tours available from Jaco Wish we could’ve stayed longer!
• Myriam (10/5): Everytime again 👌 - Made with love and ideas 👌 A little bit to near to the street, bit this fact is only for me a minus point, as we are living in a natural area without any noise 🙂
• Joe (10/5): Amazing honeymoon! - The staff were amazing, WhatsApp helps tremendously. The views were amazing.
• Jessica (10/5): - Excellent view!! Very clean!! Very hospitable!!! Would return!! All perfect
• O'Neill (10/5): -
• Jean (9/5): Overall amazing place and nice secluded location that had walking distance to some beaches and store - The property is clean and well kept and the view was absolutely beautiful and you get to see the natural surroundings and birds There was no hot water so showers were fun in the morning but help to invigorate the blood and wake up with a cold shower
• Ravi (9/5): Top Unterkunft - Wunderbare Lage und tolle Aussicht
• Blandine (9/5): - La vue était splendide, la chambre spacieuse et propre, avec de bons équipements, communication facile avec la personne qui gère les lieux. Un très bon endroit pour faire une halte, proche de la route principale avec un prix excellent, peut-être moins idéal pour une personne qui voudrait faire un séjour plus long, dans la montagne, au calme ou à proximité d'une belle plage.
• Melanie (9/5): - Magnifique ! Endroit soigné et au calme ! La gérante informe bien les clients sur la prise de la chambre. On y reviendra , c’est sûr !! Peut-être un poil trop de visibilité avec les voisins, mais heureusement personne n’était présent ;)
• Ola (7/5): -
• Marco (9/5): -
• Agnès (9/5): -
• Lois (4/5): It was close to visit some of the nearby places like the marina and Jaco. - I liked the room along with the outdoor space. Nice having some cooking area especially since they don't have on site reasturant. The out side area is nice. The hot water did not get even warm so you had to shower with cold water. The road noise from the main road was very loud . Most of the night you could hear trucks and the motorcycles from the road.
• Petra (10/5): - Das Appartement besticht durch ein modernes Ambiente und eine traumhafte Aussicht! Wir kommen gerne wieder!
• Christoph (7/5): -
• Michael (10/5): Traumhaft!!!! ein absoluter Geheimtipp!!!!! - Die Zimmer, die Terrasse und auch der private Pool sind extrem sauber und wenn man etwas sucht, um komplett zu entspannen, dann ist man hier genau richtig. Wir hatten auch Kontakt zur Vermieterin und diese war auch sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. In dem Bewertungen war auch zu lesen, dass die Dusche kalt sei, aber das kommt wahrscheinlich daher, dass das warme Wasser rechts ist - und nicht links wie gewohnt. Daran kann man nichts besser machen!
• Malin (10/5): - The most beautiful suite I’ve seen! Lovely. Very friendly staff
• Shirley (7/5): -
• Jose de Jesus (3/5): Habitaciónes muy bonitas, cómodas y privadas con piscina. Mala atención al huésped. - Las habitaciones son muy cómodas y limpias, la piscina es privada. Un lugar Ideal para una noche romántica. Ambiente muy tranquilo, cerca de la naturaleza. Buena conexión a la carretera. Yo tenia una reservación para una habitación Deluxe extragrande, sin embargo al llegar al lugar, la habitación estaba ocupada por otros huéspedes. No hay recepción, por lo que hay que contactar al anfitrión unicamente por mensaje o llamada. Al llamarle, comento que los huéspedes se equivocaron de habitación y nos ofreció la posibilidad de pasar la noche en otra habitación, de menor precio. Al dia siguiente, nos reubico nuevamente a la habitación que inicialmente reserve. Es molesto llegar a un hotel, donde pagaste por una habitación premium para pasar la noche de tu cumpleaños, y tener que hospedarte en otra habitación de menor categoria, y al dia siguiente volver a hacer las maletas temprano para reubicarte, por que tienen que limpiar la habitación para otros huéspedes. Al hablar con la anfitriona, solamente se excuso que el error no fue del hotel sino de los huéspedes que se metieron en nuestra habitación. Creo que es importante entender, que cualquier error de tus huéspedes, también es tu error. Situación que puede solucionarse teniendo una recepción o poniendo puertas con claves de seguridad, etc. También deben de mejorar en la atención al cliente, ya que lo único que nos ofrecieron fue: enviar al personal de limpieza para mover nuestras maletas. Considero que ante tal falta de respeto, por lo menos compensaran ofreciendo algún servicio extra (una botella de vino, un cupón de cortesia en algún restaurante afiliado o spa, etc.). Fue el hotel mas caro del viaje a Costa Rica, y la relación precio-calidad no fue la mejor.
• Meissner (8/5): -
• Candy (9/5): Great view and resting spot - This was a great place to stop and rest after surgery for a leg accident before heading up to Libria to fly back to the US. The staff was great in meeting my needs and support for my limitations. Nothing
• Roberto (8/5): - La vista El internet, muy malo, muy lento
• Gassmary (8/5): -
• Caroline (9/5): -
• Buhua (10/5): -
• Daniel (9/5): - La vista y las habitaciones Tener otra habitación encima, sin privacidad
• katja (10/5): - Wunderschöne Aussicht aufs Meer, mit eigenem Pool. Eine der schönsten Unterkünfte auf unserer Costa Rica Reise!
• Erick (10/5): - Todo estuvo perfecto, hermoso lugar para descansar con tranquilidad.
• Clémence (10/5): - La vue sur l'océan, la piscine, la salle de bain ... l'appartement est très spacieux.. nous avons passé un chouette moment. Le petit plus serait de mettre des lampes de chevet 😊
• Michelle (10/5): Gorgeous views in a private setting - Private dipping pool!!! The view!
• Bruce (10/5): -
• Marilia (10/5): Amazing ocean view with private pool - Stunning ocean view. Suite had wall to wall glass doors and from the moment we opened the door we were greeted with a beautiful ocean view. Loved the balcony and specially the small private pool. We enjoyed seeing small fishing boats as well as bigger ships lined up for their entrance to the Puntarenas dock, and we even saw a couple of macaws flying by. Very pretty decor and furnishings with lots of wood and nice details such as flowers in the bath towels. Good to have small fridge, microwave and hot plate. There is nothing walking distance, so you most probably need a car. Some noise from cars and trucks on busy road below. But even taking this into account it is still 100% worth it just for the view. Definitely wish we could stay longer and want to come back.
• Aisling (10/5): -
• Liz (10/5): Such a cute little suite! Private, comfortable and amazing ocean view! - The view was breathtaking!!!
• Ovidiu (8/5): Very good -
• Amey-rotelle (10/5): Exceptional - The view, the pool Nothing
• Sandra (8/5): Perfect for our requirements as an interim rest place between travelling from the coast to the hills - Great property, modern and well equipped. The bed was a little hard for our liking, but that was our choice.
• Sonia (10/5): Lovely tranquil comfortable place with a beautiful view - Beautiful place, comfortable, clean, fantastic view Only thing missing were mosquito nets on windows and bed and on the bathroom window there should be a blind as anyone walking past can see in
• Sheila (10/5): Beautiful relaxing vacation! - The room was spacious and beautiful and the balcony and plunge pool were luxurious Cooking facilities could have been better
• Wightman (10/5): This was the most spacious gorgeous suite and patio I have ever seen and we have travelled a lot! - No included breakfast No hangers or hanger rods and almost no space for clothing
• Eran (9/5): beautiful, comfortable modern unit with amazing sunsets - We stayed 2 nights at Unit #1 and had a great relaxing stay after a long drive from Corcovado. Unit #1 is the most private, and Laura was super welcoming with excellent communication. The space was sparkling clean, and the small kitchen was a plus. The sleeping space was ample, and the bathroom/shower, open to nature, was a real treat. The location is great, close to beaches and the national park. The only drawback is the noise from heavy trucks on Rt 1 when sitting outside, but luckily, they don't drive much at night, and the room was quiet and peaceful. We would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling and staying in this part of Costa Rica.
• Roy (9/5): A great place but a little remote for walking for eating - Views and room were wonderful
• Cristian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maria (9/5): Wonderful luxury rest stop for long trips. - The room was massive, clean and well appointed. Looked just like the photos but more spacious. Right off the highway so it was easy to reach after driving all day and after dark. Loved the view and all the amenities. You can stay for a very long time if there for work reasons. Right off the highway, so you can hear the sounds if you leave the doors open.
• Patricia (7/5): Not bad - Lovely views No hot water and a long hair in the bed!
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (10/5): Romantic an relaxing - The views are amazing an the pools are very intimate Not to close to poplar tourist attraction an gym
• Maciej (10/5): Great apartments with private pools and outstanding view - Amazing place, pricy but definitely worth it. Great view from the terrace The pool was bigger than we expected Occasionals macaws visits Although there was no staff onsite the host was very helpful over WhatsApp Huge apartment, with fully equipped kitchen Apartments are in a pretty remote area on a steep hill, so you can't walk anywhere, but that makes the view amazing.
• Irina (9/5): Superb - The place is surrounded by nature! It’s is very calming, beautiful and charging. Each morning we were visited by an iguana on the terrace! The sunsets were stunning. The place is a bit far away from good restaurants. But it is ideal if one needs to switch off from the daily grind.
• Rory (10/5): Exceptional - Suites 5 & 6 are private, have great views and by far this has been our favorite stay during our time in Costa Rica. Did not want to leave. Towel hooks in the bathroom would be cool, but not a deal breaker. Worst part was that we couldn’t stay longer.
• James (10/5): Exceptional - Easy self check-in. The property is not by a hot spot town but the view from the room is spectacular. The beds were really comfortable. There were many details and touches that were artistic and unique.
• Bernard (10/5): Exceptional -
• Donald (3/5): Poor - Ac did not work. Had problems with the tv and there was no one on site to help. The one young lady working there was very nice but spoke no English. Also got invaded by ants.
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful grounds and room. Spectacular views of ocean and jungle canopy.
• Rocio (10/5): Exceptional -
• Caroline (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jim (9/5): Picture perfect suite south of Tarcoles, with private pool and comfortable furnishings. - Nicely crafted suite with a picture perfect view. Three hour blackout with no back up electricity…
• Yevhenii (8/5): Very good -
• Dorothy (8/5): Very good -
• Teresa (10/5): Sooo relaxing! Wished our stay was longer. - Gorgeous views. Beautiful condo. Quick drive to San Jose.
• Peter (1/5): Bad - we didn´t stay there since after booking the location we found out that there is no reception in the location which was not mentioned on the booking.com website. we asked to cancel and get a refund to booking.com and later to the owner but that was denied.
• Quinlan (5/5): Not really set up as an extended stay suite - Good communication and check-in instructions and very clean. Beautiful view from lovely private pool. Short, but steep, drive up from main road and village with stores close to beach Close to nature, Toucans and macaws flying nearby Comfortable king bed Good quality outdoor loungers, dining table and chairs Large bathroom with walk-in shower and separate toilet No shelves closet or hangers to store clothes. Not enough cookware or burners to actually prepare a meal. Tiny fridge. Need a vehicle to access everything because of location up steep hill TERRIBLE wifi, could not even check email, impossible to watch IPTV No comfortable place to sit indoors and presence of extra single bed made room crowded
• Alexandra (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! This is a lovely place to stay, overlooking the Pacific. Don't hesitate. Leaving!
• Alexandra (10/5): Fabulous place to stay - The charming style and spaciousness of the place, the ocean and jungle views, the resident iguana 🦎 The noise from the traffic, but it's just life.
• Courtney (10/5): It sounds weird but I could hang out in this beautiful bathroom all day! The shower with tropical plants was amazing. Ca - Gorgeous view, beautiful, clean & airy rooms.
• Kyle (8/5): Tarcoles area shouldn’t be missed, and would highly recommend this suite during your trip! - We were in two minds about staying a night in Tarcoles, but I’m glad we did as there is plenty to see in the area. The suite is perfect for 1-2 nights, and certainly looked like the best option to stay in the area. We also saw plenty of wildlife from our room which is always a bonus. Laura was a very responsive host and even let us check-in earlier than what was originally planned. - More of an advisory for other potential guests, but I had some issues completing the payment with my international credit card (UK mastercard) over booking dot com. We resolved the issue in the end by me paying in cash at the property. Though I would advise the host to never send out external links for a bank transfer as was attempted, as there are many scams on booking dot com that do just that. - There was some construction work being done at the property when we arrived which we weren’t told about in advance. We appreciated that they tried to keep noise to a minimum, but it might’ve been more of an issue if we stayed longer than 1 night.
• Choudhry-martinez (7/5): A good time - Beautiful view, and fast reply from owner. Not enough lighting at night, also pricey for what you get. Wish there was a little more privacy as you can see the visitor’s cars and they can see the pool/terrace from where we were staying.
• Manuel (10/5): Perfect for a week near the beaches with an astonishing view. - Amazing experience!! Super comfortable suite all equipped in a secluded area, everything has being well thought out and it's like being inside a small zoo, from our deck we got to see different birds, fireflies in the night. Personally it just needed a cushioned sofa to rest inside the suite.
• Carlo (8/5): Very good - Perfect location. Comfortable. Super view and pool in the camera. Shower broken
• Hans (10/5): Beautiful room at beautiful location - The room was superb. The location very nice When you check in there is nobody. There were no bottles of fresh drinkwater in the fridge. Good we had our own water
• Britta (10/5): Pleasant and beautiful - The view is amazing. The private pool is so nice and the nature just outside the terrace is beautiful. The room for 3 persons was spacious enough and the little kitchen with the refrigerator was very helpful. Tarcoles area is not that interesting and you need a car to get to restaurants.
• Jacqueline (10/5): Luxurious stay - The room was extremely luxurious: the private pool was amazing and the view was breathtaking. The room was spacious and really clean. Expensive room, but worthwhile.
• Bosworth (10/5): Exceptional -
• Genessa (9/5): Luxury Getaway - The property is gorgeous with lots of creative touches. The private pools were the perfect temperature. Beautiful birds like toucans and parrots fly by your deck. The sunset view of the gulf was breathtaking. Wonderful restaurants near by. We tried Vista Mar and the blackened yellow fin tuna and ceviche was excellent! There are some leaf cutter ants that walk along the deck sometimes, which is cool to see but just be careful not to step on them.
• Wendy (9/5): Nice place with stunning views! - Great place to stop on the way down South and to visit Carara National Park and the Tarcoles River. The place is not far from the road so easy to get to & from local destinations. Large rooms, comfortable beds, beautiful views and you can see the scarlet macaws daily. Although you do have your own pool, they are not very private from the other suites.
• Christine (10/5): Exceptional - View was amazing Everything was wonderful
