This place is phenomenal. Josue the host is very attentive and fast in the communication. We were able to contact him anytime and he was always super friendly. He made us feel at home. The location of the house is a dream. Whether the view is clear and you have a heavenly view of mountains and even the ocean or if you are suddenly surrounded by the clouds, it is a highlight. The house is very clean with beautiful and well-kept garden around. Another highlight was the warm jacuzzi. This holiday home is an absolute must for those who want to see Costa Rica from all sides. Beach and mountains.
