Guest Reviews

• Carlos (7/5): Difícil acceso! - Rodeado de naturaleza. El acceso es terrible, no tiene parqueo, la ducha no sale bien el agua, se debe sacar con escoba. No hay agua potable, pero se cuenta con un filtro.
• Fernanda (6/5): - La casa preciosa y cómoda El carro queda muy inseguro,la casa hermosa y cómoda sin embargo donde se encuentra no me gustó
• Felix (9/5): -
• Maria Luisa (8/5): - Bien equipada, con una vista muy bonita. El agua tenía un olor un poco desagradable y nos fue difícil llegar a la casa.
• Kristin (8/5): Nice place, but probably not for us. - The house was very comfortable for my boys and me. We had plenty of room. The AC works amazing and the house location was very quiet. I was under the impression that it was attached to a hotel, which I liked from a security and pool perspective. However, the hotel is a couple miles away. There is no set parking for the house, so we were parked on the side of a muddy road.
• Kattya (9/5): - Amabilidad de llos trabajadores
• Aaron (10/5): ¡Caribe el paraíso en la tierra! - Nos encantó la naturaleza y el amplio balcón. Nos hubiera gustado más baños, espejos y hay una pequeña fuga en el fregadero de la cocina.
• Mark (9/5): Great place and location for wildlife viewing and experiencing an oasis of calm. 10 minutes to town. - Beautiful grounds and many birds and agoutis. It was oropendola breeding season and there were dozens of them with their hanging nests to observe. Quiet except for the chain saws during part of the daytime - they are building a new casita I believe. We more enjoyed the sound of howler monkeys we heard each day. Not using chain saws when people are lounging on their patios.
• Meggan (9/5): Superb -
• Tom (8/5): Best jungle experience in CR .... nicest house unit with most space and the environment amazing. - Not for the faint of heart .... in the jungle .... spider kind of jungle ... so while it was a whole little house with screens on the windows and fans ... no AC ..... it really is a great way to experience the jungle in CR....the morning sounds will blow your mind. TV could have been bigger, for evening watching .... just a tad more attention to cleanliness .... but realizing that the large wolf spider in the corner of my bedroom is rather difficult to be perfect all the time especially if the unit is vacant for a couple of days and the jungle creeps in.
• Anna (7/5): Good -
• Irina (10/5): Paradise - Amazing house in the jungle, it has everything we needed, a short walk to the road with restaurant, we could also use the pool from the hotel that administrates the villas. Nothing
• Elena (10/5): Carribiean paradise - Spacious, clean house painted with fun Carribean colors. Exactly what I was looking for to feel the vibes of the East cost of Costa Rica. The jungle around the house was beautiful. We could hear the monkeys early in the morning. There was a secluded beautiful beach close by, just across the street. There was a vendor selling delicious bananas, papaya, watermelon, and mangos very close by. The owner recommended restaurants and beaches and helped us to book various activities cheaper than online offers. I liked everything.
• Horváth (10/5): Exceptional - The accomodation`s location is perfect, it is located very close to the sea, surrounded with beautiful jungle. In the house there is a well equipped kitchen with water cleaner and 2 bathroom. Rosa and Hector were very helpful and friendly. We could feel the "Pura vida" at the whole Caribbien side of the country, everybody is so calm and friendly. -
• Sandra (10/5): Lindo lugar - El ingreso fue complicado, debía ser con un código que no recibí y no hay número de contacto en la plataforma de Hoteles.com Afortunadamente tras intentar un par de números a la entrada del camino, que anuncian que venden esa propiedad, finalmente después de varias llamadas sin éxito, alguien contestó. Rosa, quién nos atendió, días antes me había enviado WA con detalles de la propiedad y de la zona, muy completo y útil, pero fue 12 días antes de mi estancia, estando de vacaciones realmente no lo recordé y resultó en un ingreso complicado, donde ni en el chat mismo de aquí podían contactar con la propiedad. En fin, después de eso, todo maravilloso. Eso, sí, el internet no es el mejor, bastante intermitente, aunque, ¿¡quién quiere internet estando en el Caribe!?
• Thomas (4/5): Great location and place overall. But customer experience could greatly be improved, to say the least! - Very nice place with everything we needed. They did not provide us with the right house. We had requested 2 twin beds, instead of a full bed. Poor communication skills.
• Lana (10/5): Great - Air Conditioning was not available
• Warren (6/5): Pleasant -
• Elizabeth (9/5): On a busy Easter weekend we appreciated the peace and quiet that the accommodation provided. Even the beach was quiet an - Spacious, garden and private covered terrace. 5 min walk to a great beach for swimming . Kitchen well equipped. Washing service . No air conditioning and we had very hot weather. Would have appreciated a kettle.
• Michael (9/5): Perfect place to get to know the Caribbean way of life. - House is situated in a Jungle-Like garden, every morning at 4:30 am the howler monkees were our alarm clock. A hummingbird was nesting directly in front of our house. The house is situated near to beach and restaurants, but outside enough, so there was no noise. Perfect. Charlene was very friendly and helpfully. The living room is huge, like a ballroom. No air con, but we got used to that. It was very hot and humid.
• João (9/5): Superb -
• Zsuzsanna (9/5): Superb - The house was spacious and comfortable in a quiet area. Lots of animals in the garden. Bathroom. It was smelly.
• Alina (6/5): Gorgeous gardens and locations, but some frustration with electricity and communication with host. - The location is incredible. So much wildlife at your doorstep, i.e., in your garden. We saw monkeys, toucans, agoutis, and lots of beautiful butterflies and birds. Very spacious house for 4 people, and we loved the outside seating area. There's beautiful beaches nearby - we especially loved Playa Chiquita and Punta Uva. It's also a short cab ride to Manzanillo nature reserve, where we saw loads of monkeys, a sloth, and some of the most gorgeous beaches I've ever seen. It's also relatively quick to cycle into town (took me around 15 minutes). Charlène explained everything very well, and it was easy to find the property. There was a folder with local recommendations in the house too. Hob didn't work properly, kitchen is lacking some essential cooking equipment (no chopping boards?!), and the electricity and/or internet stopped working several times, which we know is probably normal for Costa Rica but also didn't happen to us anywhere else in our 5 week stay. Charlène was quite responsive, but was also most communicative when she asked for money for something. We got very frustrated when the internet stopped working, and she proceeded to keep blaming us for it not coming back on because we had apparently pressed a wrong button. We thought that this was quite rude and not very helpful, especially as we were all super stressed about not being able to work already, but more importantly, the repair person who came over told us it wasn't true and that this had happened many times and Charlène should have known how to rectify the problem. Overall I wouldn't recommend this place if you're hoping to work - I had to do a frantic cycle into town to find WiFi to take my calls on the first day. There was only one day out of the 6 we were there where we didn't have any problems, and when we asked Charlène for a part refund because of that, she declined, again citing that this was our fault. Speaking of the bikes - we rented bikes through Charlène, and they were expensive and almost unusable. They were rusty, some of the brakes didn't work properly, and there are much better places nearby to rent better bikes for cheaper. Also remember that his place is in the jungle - if you are squeamish around cockroaches, spiders, and centipedes, you might struggle. Also, our key to get into the estate was broken when we arrived and was never replaced, so we had to open the car gates via padlock every time we wanted to leave and come back, which was cumbersome and a bit annoying.
• Monica (10/5): A lovely place!!!!!:) - The owner Charlene has a lovely apartments. Our was beautiful, large, confortable, clean, the kitchen is well eqquiped. There is an hamaca to lay down and a lovely terrace to relax. Next to our apartment we also have a play ground for kids, we were travelling with kids and that was just perfect. We also hired bikes with seats , the owner helped us out to arrange the booking, she also fixed a problem with a bike that we have straight away;) Near by the minivan plyas, beaches (play cocles, chiquita)and we could also ride to Playa Uvita. Near by restaurants, supermarkets. She also washed our clothes and dry it with 6 $. We had a lovely time in here..just in the middle of the jungle..on our way we saw many animals. Thanks Charlene!!! She Booked a taxi for us on our departure day..that didnt show up unfortunately. In Costa rica that May happen. It wasnt her fault. But because we needed to catch a bus for the Pacific we got a bit stressed out. She ordered another one..but it didnt arrive before 10 minutes..so we had a lift from a person, an Angel!! She later got a bit upset because the taxi driver come and asked for money. She insisted a lot that we paid (even it wasnt our fault) We are honest people so we agree to pay it. But to be honest we shouldnt.. it was not our fault that the taxi didnt show up and we were in hurry and with kids. At this moment we have tried to give the money for the taxi..but she dosent have a Credit card machine. And the payment online/trasferencia didnt work. We are only sorry for that.
• Tommy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dana (10/5): 10/10 stay in Puerto Viejo - This was without a doubt the best accommodation we stayed at in 6 weeks travelling Central America. Such a beautiful property nestled in the jungle, with wildlife all around you. The house is spacious with lots of room for 4 and the fans and shade kept it nice and cool inside. The place has everything you need and we spent many hours playing cards outside on the deck. Would absolutely stay here again - we wish we didn't have to leave! It is out of town at gorgeous Playa Chiquita, with lots of shops and food options nearby. Thanks to Charlène for being a kind and gracious host ☺️
• Daniela (10/5): Exceptional - Awesome place to stay, great location, very clean, spacious, fresh, Netflix, water dispenser, super host
• Juuli (9/5): Great place, would stay again! - A lovely Caribbean style house that is great for a family. Awesome location nearby the beach. Good ventilation ensured the comfort. Surrounded by wildlife. A spacious kitchen. Very helpful host! Payment in cash
• Bettina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrey (10/5): Beautiful and contable house - The beautiful arquitecture of the house! The house was very contable, spacious, it has a lot of lighting. On our last night the other guests made a lot of noise until late at night.
• Blackwell (10/5): Exceptional -
• Johanna (10/5): Great location close to beach, restaurants, and stores All amenities needed for travelling with kids - Charlene was outside to greet us when we arrived and showed us to the casa and explained everything.
• Kadia (9/5): Superb -
• Khadi (10/5): Exceptional - The manager, Charlène, was very helpful and gave us a great service.
• Anita (5/5): Disappointed - Host lives on the property Television and Netflix were impossible to use : the films we wanted to see were impossible to download, furthermore no choise of language (only english) and no subtitles. The dogs of the host kept barking when she was not present. As there are no glass windows, we were cold because of the drafts. It was difficult to dry towels and bathing cloths. There is no much privacy since there are no shutters, except in the bedrooms.
• Maureen (8/5): It was satisfying but we had to make adjustments. - How stylish and spacious the accommodation was, as well as the proximity to the beaches. Noise from dogs in the houses nearby, lack of one more bed and how the TV didn’t work to turn on films.
• Agata (10/5): Exceptional - Spacious and clean house among green trees. Everything was perfect.
• Cesar (10/5): Exceptional - Everything has been refurbished, the managers are very available and kind. Less than 5 minutes from the beach on foot. Very nice fully equipped house. Perfect stay !!
